Pregnancy test turning lighter

[Nox73]

Hi, I am 37 year old.  I got 1 miscarriage and another miscarriage with a d&c before I have a successful pregnancy.  I was also fairly bleeding brownish to light maroon when I was pregnant at the third time but with rest in bed, now my son is 2years 2mth.  I had another pregnancy in july this year but got miscarried again and have another d&c in early august this year.  I have missed my period for 7 days now.  I tested with first response pregnancy test 5 days before my menstruation is due, because I badly wanted another baby. The test comes out as a faint positive line.  I repeated the test two days after it got slightly darker. But last night when I did the PT with answer pregnancy test it was totally negative and I m really freaking... I did another test again this morning with the first response EPT, the PT is becoming even lighter and very hard to see... fainter I would say. I am on my nerve now... anybody can give me some advice on this.  I gave a call to my gp but I have not got any call back as yet.  I just really badly wanted to know whether I will sustain this pregnancy because of my history... I m getting symptoms though tingling breast, hot flush... but no morning sickness as I did with my successful pregnancy.  I m all alone at home, just spending my time crying and I dont want to have a big hope for another baby if this pregnancy is likely to miscarried again... thanks everybody

Hi thanks for your support.  My dr has call back.  By the time he called I am already bleeding.  Now I am still... I dont know what to say anymore.. I will let the body take its natural course.. may be its worth examining why do I now have 4 miscarriages... Personally I think its hormonal... However, I should be grateful for the only one successful pregnancy that I have... Thanks again... Now I have to wait and see whats coming out of my womb...

I'm sorry you have had such a rough time of it.  I have been there, and I know how hard this is.  How light of dark a line is on an HPT is not an indicator of pregnancy viability.  Keep in mind that different brands test at different levels of HCG. For example, First Response picks up the hormone at a really low level.  I don't know how Answer is rated, but it may very well be much higher.  A second line is a positive, no matter how dark or light it is.  The only way to know if this is moving forward or not is blood work.  They need to do 2 blood tests a few days apart to see if your HCG levels are rising or not. I have driven myself crazy trying to interpret these tests.  All they tell you is positive or negative, not how high those levels are.  See your Dr. and I wish you all the best.
