I was due a period on the 15th aug so i am late! been dizzy feeling sick etc for last 2 weeks (after having two days of very light spottiing) so around the 8th i took a test which had a faint pinkish line that appered after a minute or so done another said the same next day got a superm home brand digital said not preg so been contin to use first make as cheaper same line but today appers even lighter than the first !? (really confused as my first 2 didnt even show as faint line (bit darker than these) till neatlrly 7 weeks) so what are ppls thoughts surley if i was pregnant it would be a darkish line by now ??

Not necessarily. A false positive is almost impossible to get (two would be shocking) but a false negative is more likely.

The cheap tests are supposedly more sensitive than the digital ones as well.

I'd do a third test in the morning, and see what that says.

In the past 2 weeks or so ive probably done 15 no lie!! it is only the digital ones that have said im not but the cheap ones i have done in the last day or two have been fainter than the first! Suppose ill just have to wait till next week an if i am hopefully like the other 2 it will show when im about 7 ish weeks!! thanks
