Question

Confused - advice please!

Thanks in advance for any advice! I am ttc and for the past 3 months I have had very very faint positives (barely visible without tweaking, but a faint line none the less). However, then I get my period. The first month I assumed a chemical pregnancy, but 3 months in a row?

I chart my bbt so am confident in ovulation dates and I used the Proov progesterone tests this month and the tests were positive from 4 dpo through 12 dpo (last test was on 12 dpo and then I ran out of the strips). I have a 13 day luteal phase, and have already have 2 children. I am 39 though, so that might be part of the problem?

Is it possible to have 3 chemical pregnancies, or is there another reason to get super faint positives 3 months in a row? At any rate, huge thanks to those who have read this far, and any advice or info would be greatly appreciated!

Have you used the same brand pregnancy test every time? Have you tried another brand? I know this sounds weird but have you had your husband pee on them? What brand?

Hi there! If you’re using strip tests only the cheapie ones, I suggest to try also with a more accurate brand when you see the faint line because in my personal experience I’ve had a ton of faint lines so many times in the past and never been pregnant. I really don’t trust those ones.
Good luck on your journey!

It could definitely be chemical pregnancies which is actually good-you can get pregnant. I would see your doctor to get a blood test to measure the level of HCG in your blood to be sure of what is going on. Best wishes and baby dust! I had a few chemicals before getting pregnant with my beautiful daughter!
