Hi, My wife's last cycle start date was on 27th march 2016, cycle length of approx 35 days, tested on 3rd april, 4th april and 5th april - all positive but HPT line was a little faint. Consulted doc (gyn) on 5th april evening. He saw all the HPT kit results and said the line is a bit faint and prescribed hcg injection 5000iu every week, duphaston, vitagreat, optogest, maintane, ondem (on SOS basis). My question is since we tested on the 2nd day of missed period did we test too early explaining these faint lines? We asked about the injection and the doc said it is to prevent the pregnancy and asked us to visit next week with HPT (fmu) and if it is again faint he will do a sonography. Would also like your opinion about the medicines prescribed. Thanks.

Faint line on upt only indicates low hormone levels. The commonest reason for this is a very early pregnancy. Other reasons could be failing or failed pregnancy or pregnancy in abnormal location or an ectopic. Do beta hcg test. 2 tests to be done at a gap of 48 hours. If the second value is almost double of the first value or more than double, then you do not need to worry, your pregnancy is fine.
