Hi, I'm ttc cycle 1 after a miscarriage. I've not used these tests before and not sure if I'm pregnant or not. Help please!

The position of the line is very unusual. I wonder if the tests are faulty?

I'd nip down to the pharmacy/supermarket and pick up an own brand test and see how that goes.

Good luck!

I agree - the lines are in a slightly odd position. Do you have a superdrug nearby? You need a superdrug early test or an FRER really.

It looks like the strip got to wet and that's why they've come away. I agree that you should use another test. The lines are in a strange place and if it did get wet above the max line the test will become invalid

Good luck. Fingers crossed x

I'd say evap. Too far apart from the control line and I think that's just moisture gathering at the max line.

Also, is that not an OPK? I've heard of people using them as a pregnancy rest before not sure how accurate?

Best of luck!

I shouldn't have even tested, it wasn't fmu and I'm not even due on until Friday. Just couldn't help myself. Have done clear blue and that says not pregnant.

Am just going to wait until Friday and take that as a lesson learned.

They are definitely pregnancy tests, cheapy ones from Amazon.

Thanks for the help.

It looks as if the line is at the top of the bit that soaks up your urine, rather than where the actual line should be. I don't think that's positive, I think that's just what happens with tests like yours.

Chocolate I drove myself potty last cycle testing from 8dpo. It's so hard to resist testing but it really doesn't help us

I had a MMC in May and it's hard to be sensible after that, but I have resolved not to test until at least 12dpo this month. I'm in the TWW now but am determined to wait to test this time.

(I honestly was bonkers about it though last month - holding the tests under a lamp to try to see a line )

It is really hard. Am going to wait until Friday now, there is no point testing before then. I'm definitely bonkers today!
