5 days late

Good morning!

I had my ectopic last sept :frowning: so my partner and I are ttc, this month we decided not to track ovulation as we were getting stressed, but af was due 20/01 and still hasn’t arrived, I’ve taken tests everyday, and every day I see a faint faint line but my partner can’t with the exception of Sunday when he thought he might but nothing really shows in a photo and line isn’t getting darker so I’m starting to wonder if I’m either imagining the line or if it’s all happening again??!!

Thank you for any help or advice!!!

Dear Bythesea86,

Have you tried using a different brand of pregnancy test? As they do have slightly differing sensitivity levels.

A second line is a positive result.

I would advise taking the test in 3days time. If it is positive, contact your local EPU to inform them and book in for an early scan at around six weeks. Remind them of your previous ectopic pregnancy. This self refer route is the best route in our view. Hopefully you will have some comfort to know you are under the radar of medical professionals right away. If you are unable to self refer, please contact your GP who will be able to do this for you.

If you remain concerned, please contact your GP to discuss this further.

Sending much love,

Karen x
