Hi there,

First time I've written on anything like this. It's my 30th birthday tomorrow & my husband & I have been trying for a baby for ages. This is the first month I have had symptoms & really felt I could be pregnant. I did a test early before we went out for dinner which seemed negative, but when I came home & for some reason checked again it showed as positive!!!! Did another & a really, really, really faint line showed but took about 10 mins. I'm so confused! Has anyone got any thoughts?

Thank you so much x

It usually says to ignore the result after 5 mins or so.
To be sure, take a test first thing in the morning. When were you due on? Are you tracking your cycle and fertile days?

Twiglet23 · 27/03/2015 23:13

I was due on Tuesday, I've been tracking my cycles for the last year or so & they're usually 30/32 day. I am day 36 today! It's tough not to get excited about it though. My husband is popping out first thing to get one x thanks for your reply x

If you are pregnant, the hcg hormone is most present in your first pee of the day :) and don't bother with the expensive £20 tests - just a cheapy own brand will do the trick! As you're not testing early, you'll be fine with a cheap one. I used tesco own brand and found out about 3/4 days after my period was due. I have PCOS so no regular cycle at all!
Good luck! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you tomorrow morning :) xx

Twiglet23 · 27/03/2015 23:22

Thank you :) I'll let you know on here. I'm keeping everything crossed x

Happy birthday x

DulcetMoans · 28/03/2015 07:12

Happy birthday! Sounds promising, hope you get an answer soon!!

Lilwelshyrs · 28/03/2015 07:14

(I think the sentence " I'm 36 today " is in relation to Twiglet's cycle day, not her age... But I could be wrong )

Lilwelshyrs · 28/03/2015 07:14

I stand corrected... Apologies!!

DulcetMoans · 28/03/2015 07:16

It is her birthday but she's 30, 36 was her cycle days. I think anyway!

Lilwelshyrs · 28/03/2015 07:17

Yes, sorry, I re read OP... I'm being sleepy...

Hellohellohowareyou · 28/03/2015 07:38

I did my test in the evening and at first it looked negative however when I went back to it a while later there was the faintest of lines there. I was testing about 3/4 days before AF though! I'm now 26 weeks

Twiglet23 · 28/03/2015 08:16

Thank you all :) done another test this morning with a really faint line. Not sure what to think still ;/ x

That's a positive! Congrats OP and happy birthday!

MishMooshAndMogwai · 28/03/2015 08:19

they say a line is a line...... And I can just about make one out. Get some mega cheap ones and keep trying over the next week?

Happy birthday

Hellohellohowareyou · 28/03/2015 08:32

I too say that's a line, what a lovely birthday present

DulcetMoans · 28/03/2015 08:41

Looking good twiglet! I second getting some cheaper tests cos now you will want to do one every ten minutes!

Twiglet23 · 28/03/2015 08:41

Do you think? My husband isn't convinced! Arghhhhh! I'm a little excited x

sleepyMe12 · 28/03/2015 08:54

I didn't think you could get a false negative... It's testing for a hormone and if it's there, it's there...?
So yay! Congrats! I found out on my birthday too! Xx

Lilwelshyrs · 28/03/2015 09:12

Oh god, I think I must have baby brain...
False positive... I read your post as "false positive" not "false negative"... I need some sleep haha
