Faint Positive Test After 7 Years of Icsi... Posted: 11-18-06 21:56pm
Hello
i am new here and have a few questions I
hope someone can help me with...
My husband and I having been trying to get
pregnant for 7 years (i'm now 29) I have
very mild pcos and my husband is near
sterile (exceptionally low count and
motility, not even enough for ivf) we have
had 4 cycles of icsi and next week we are
about to try for our 5th (and final) icsi.
But....
I'm 5 days away from af and I have heavy
breasts, keep fainting, feel sick (but am
not actually sick) and I just have this
'feeling' that i'm pregnant, i've had
feelings like i'm pregnant before (don't
we all when we wish for it so damn hard)
but this time I feel so sure, anyway I
bought a pregnancy test (to put myself out
of my misery) i've just done it (20 mins
ago) and it came up straight away with a
(very very) faint positive pink line in
the second box (which according to the box
means i'm pregnant!!!) it's an early
detector test and as I said i'm still 5
days before my period so that could
explain the very faint line? I don't
think it's a evaporation line as it is
slightly coloured pink.
I will obviously test again in a few days
but this is killing me, those few days
until my af (or hopefully my lack of af)
will seem like years - I think I may go
crazy with anquish. I'm too scared to
tell my husband in case the test is wrong
(it would break his heart in two) I am so
confused; half elated/half worried sick.
How on earth can I be pregnant when my
husband has such a low count? (no I
haven't played away from home!!!)
does a (very) faint pink line mean i'm
pregnant? I'm sure it does, I don't know
whether to laugh or cry? I want a baby
more than life itself, my heart aches
daily for a child. Having a baby is never
far from my mind for more than a few
hours. Can miracles really happen?
Please can anyone tell me if this is
possible? And does anyone know if a faint
line is still a positive? So sorry for
these questions but as I said - i'm half
crazy with confusion.
Thank you so very much for your time.

Welcome to ehealth! I feel that a line is
a line(just my opinion) but I am not a dr,
unless it has something to do with the
icse, which I doubt or hope not, if I were
you I would test again in a few days and
then have the dr test you and I will keep
my fingers crossed for you and your
.Hubby. Yes, I believe miracles can
happen especially when they are mixed with
.Love. I know that I had a lot of trouble
getting pregnant and I ended up with iwo
wonderful children that are now grown and
are on their own. Try to think positive
but you are young just in case it does not
happen this time and I am here for you
either way!
I wish you lots of baby dust

A faint line is a positive result,
definitely. It's unlikely to be an
evaporation line unless you left it too
long to read the result.
Fingers crossed that this is it for you!

Thank You! Posted: 11-19-06 00:20am
Thank you very much for your encouraging
replies, I tend to agree "a line is a
line" but because of the years of
fertility problems, I find it so hard to
believe I could actually be pregnant so
easily! I doubt it has anything to do
with my last icsi as that was 8 months ago
now, so i'm just going to sit tight and
wish with all my might that this will end
with joy, and we can spend the icsi money
on a nursery instead! I will let you know
one way or the other in a few days.
Thanks again for replying, I know no-one
can tell me for sure (unless you're
clairvoyant!) but it's encouraging to hear
i'm not the only one who thinks - this
really could be it! It's calmed me down a
little bit
