Is this an evap?

[SpongeCake23]

Took with FMU. I'm 9 days late for AF.

[NoseringGirl]

How long did it take to come up? And is it a testing strip (the internet cheapie ones) or have you broken it out of its casing?

[SpongeCake23]

@NoseringGirl I broke it out but there was the same line before I did that, I just wanted a closer look.

[NoseringGirl]

I do see a line. Could you have ovulated later than usual?

[ShowOfHands]

Breaking it out of the case can cause evaps so nobody can answer with any conviction.

[SpongeCake23]

@ShowOfHands it had the kind before breaking it out of the case though.

I'm going to go to Boots in a short while and get a digital and FRER

[ShowOfHands]

I know but WE aren't seeing that so really can't comment.

Definitely test again. Good luck!

[SpongeCake23]

Took a second cheap test, came up within two minutes x

[SpongeCake23]

Anyone? On the second test x

[8DaysAWeek]

Second test looks positive to me

[SpongeCake23]

@8DaysAWeek Thank you, I've just taken two more and they showed up pretty quick!
Should it be darker at 8-9 days late?

[Ginge12]

Definitely looks it to me, Congratulations!

[SpongeCake23]

Thank you. I'm just worrying it should be darker at this stage and hope I'm not going to have a chemical or ectopic.

[unicorncow]

I used that second test you have and my early positives looked like that, I'd say you've ovulated late

[SpongeCake23]

I still can't quite believe I've had positives today, I feel like I'm in a dream.
What do I do now? And when should I tell people?

[NoseringGirl]

Congratulations, definitely a line!
You can call your GP surgery and they'll tell you how they do things. Some like you to have a GP appointment and they refer you to the midwife, others you just self refer. First midwife appointment is roughly about 8 weeks but depends on your area. Not much happens between positive test and midwife appointment. I found it feels a bit weird! All the hype and then nothing for weeks.

[SpongeCake23]

@NoseringGirl Thank for my confirming that x

[SpongeCake23]

I'm just really worried it's an ectopic or a chemical due to how faint it is!

[RLOU88]

Test again within the next couple of days and it should get darker. Mine took a few days to deepen. Worrying will do no good at this early stage as there isn’t really anything that can be gone if it is a chemical. Good luck, OP

[NoseringGirl]

I understand the worry. You could have ovulated later, or maybe it's the type of test. Yes it could be a chemical but it's not definite. You could try a digi test in a couple of days?
Fx for you!

[JustVent]

They all look like faint positives to me.

[Opensesame1]

I never got darker than this on an ic.. got a positive on a clear blue digital at the same time as a faint line on the cheapie one. They are cheap for a reason... congrats!! Xx

[SpongeCake23]

Today's FRER test

[Cakelaur]

Yay congrats!!!

[Keepingupwiththejonesys]

Was just coming on to say they all look positive!! Congratulations. Wanted to add, most peoples tests come up quite faint until you are quite late, its likely you ovulated later than normal so you're tests are little lighter. There's an obvious change in yesterday and today's which is a fab sign. People see on movies the woman taking a test and it being two thick lines. In reality that doesn't really happen for a lot of women and the other line is quite pale when getting a bfp.
