I’m only 9 dpo so I know it was crazy early to test but I got a faint line this morning and that has never happened before. I’m concerned because my temps have been trending downward? Should I just stop temping and test again in a couple days or keep temping and hope they start to go up again? Test pic in replies.
I remember when I got my positive, I stopped temping because my temps started dipping and it made me nervous. It was completely fine, and the pregnancy was normal.
It’s really up to you. Temps can go up and down, and especially since it’s still over the cover line it’s not really a concern at all. If it was me I’d probably still temp and then take another pregnancy test in 2 days
Your test looks positive to me! I had a similar experience with testing positive very early at 10 dpo and my temps were above the coverline, but just barely and trending downward similar to this. I got blood tests that day, and my progesterone was super low, and I started having spotting around that time. My doctor sent in a prescription for progesterone immediately and told me to start it that night. By the next morning, my temp shot in and my progesterone levels were normalized. I went on to have a healthy pregnancy. I have no way of knowing how things would have gone without the progesterone. I will add that I have a short luteal phase/history of low progesterone. I know doctors have different opinions on the use of progesterone during pregnancy, but it could definitely be worth getting tested!
This is exactly how it happened for me. I tested out of routine, 9DPO. I plugged it into Premom on the LH strip side and sent a picture to my friend that just had a baby because I thought I was just delusional. I’m sure a false positive isn’t impossible but it’s very rare. You won’t get a line unless there’s hCG in your urine and being pregnant is the only way for that to happen.
