i may have worded my statement incorrectly....the control line is very very faint and the line indicating im preg is very dark....i was hoping that was a good sign

when i did my pregnancy test one line was hardly showing and the other was very dark, i didnt want another child now because my son just turned one, so i hoped that it means that it was negative so i did another one and the same result showed up so i called the doctor and she said even if it hardly shows or just a part of it shows the result is still positive

Its definately understandable to be worried after a miscarriage.  Once you get a good ultrasound and see the heartbeat you will feel tons better.  I have been through it more than once, I've had 2 miscarraiges and a stillbirth at 37 weeks.  The worry decreases but never goes away completely until you actually lay hands and eyes on your baby :)

How far along are you? Have you talked to your Dr and asked for blood work to be done? If he knows your history most Dr's have no problem running labs. HPT's can get spendy and you should be saving that money for Diapers :)

I know the stress and worry of a m/c. I lost my baby at 6wks 5 days and didn't find out till I went in for my 12wk scan last time.  I have learned so much more in the last two years.  

I have bought a doppler to monitor the heart beat but it says it's not accurate until 9-12 wks which I will be 9 tomorrow and I have my second scan which I plan on taking it with me to the Dr's to have him show me the correct way to use it.  
My symptoms come and go and it sometimes worries me that they aren't as strong some days but I have to remember that symptoms can fluctuate. I hate that I can't just go through this pregnancy with the ignorant bliss that most women get to experience pregnancy with.

I wish you all the luck with this pregnancy. Good Luck
