Here’s my story. I just need to talk about it to people who will understand.

My cycles are 35 days. On Sunday (12/29) I took a test after my period was 4 days late. I got a faint positive on a FRER test. I was shocked and over the moon and I told my husband immediately. That afternoon I took another FRER test and the lines were the same. Still faint, but unmistakably positive. I took a cheap 88 cent Walmart test that night and it was again, very faint, but still positive.

Yesterday (12/30) 5 days late - I woke up and took another FRER test with first morning urine. I also took an 88 cent test. The test lines were there, but just the tiniest pinch darker than the previous day. Still faint, but noticeable in person. I took another Walmart test and the line was the same.

I was getting a little concerned with the progression of my lines. Especially because I was 5 days late.

Today (12/31) 6 days late - this morning I woke up and took a Clear Blue and another Walmart test. The line on the clear blue was still faint but obviously noticeable. However, the line on my Walmart test was still no darker than Sunday and Monday. At around 8 am this morning I started bleeding a little bit. Nothing overboard, but definitely bright red.

I’ve basically come to the conclusion that this is an early miscarriage because my tests really haven’t gotten any darker and I am beginning to bleed. Still no cramping yet at almost 11 am. I am praying earnestly that this is not real and this baby will stay with me.

I’m desperate to keep this baby and I could use any encouraging words, stories, or prayers. I believe that my God is a God of miracles and can restore this pregnancy and allow it to continue.

Thank you so much for reading.
