I am so confused by what is going on. My last period was 40 days ago but it is not unusual for me to have extremely long,irregular cycles. (the last three have been 39,45,39 days). I had sex once only on day cd28 and that was the first time in over a month 
. I have been with dp nearly 4 yrs and never used contraception in that time as I have really poor fertility, it took me years to conceive my Ds even though I was only in my early twenties.
Ds was like a miracle baby, I'd almost given up hope, had taken clomid for a year with no success and was just about to under go IVF. In the years since having Ds I have never had a hint if pregnancy despite trying 
However the weirdest thing has happened, firstly my friend who has been trying as long as me announces she pregnant, I was very happy for her but gutted also as I knew my chances were getting slim especially as my a dp are in the process of spitting up & I was worried I'd never have another baby.
Anyway to the point (sorry ) on Thursday evening which is 10 days since I slept with dp and I think 9 dpo I decided to do a cheap HPT. I admit I am serial symptom spotter and poas addict. The faintest of ghost lines showed up in under 10 minutes, I did the other 2 test and the same. I doubt anyone else would be able to see them. I've pretty much obsessively tested since then and this morning a 20miu diptest showed very faint but colored line as did another 25miu test and an answer mid flow. However the 15miu dip tests are really,really faint almost barely there.like an indent. There's mistaking the answer test the line is faint but defo there and came up around the 3 minute mark.
I rushed out to buy some cb digital's but decided to try another 25miu diptest as that's the same sensitivity as the clearblue and I didn't want to waste it. However despite giving me quite a good line this morning the test is completely blank so I didn't do the clearblue.
I don't really know what I'm asking but did anyone else have really faint tests before the period was due? Or different darkness of lines in different tests?
I think my mind is boggled tbh. I just don't understand how I can be pregnant. Dp's sperm test was extremely low 6 months ago and he's don't nothing to improve it, he drinks far to much and is on medication shown to lower sperm count. I can't possibly be pregnant can I? What else could it be?
Sorry it's so long I just needed to get it down,I haven't told anyone,not even dp, thanks.

Didn't want to read and not reply. I think you may very well be pregnant. I had a very faint line when I tested early on with DD2, and it seems you've had loads of faint lines! Stranger things have happened.
Congratulations, if it turns out you are, though sorry to hear your relationship is in trouble. Hope things work out for you.
Clearblue tests are crap. I was 8 days late before I got a very faint line with DD1 on a first response and an asda test. Clearblue digital said not pregnant 
Thanks for the replies everyone, I got even more disheartened by 2 dip tests last nite especially as on was a complete bfn and the other barely a line.
Anyway I thought sod and did the clearblue digital this morning
Pregnant 1-2 weeks!! 
Congratulations
I hope everything will work out with your relationship.
Happy Mother's Day ?
COngratulatons!!!
And on the infertility thing - took DH and me 7 yrs and fertility treatment to have our DTs. We had unprotected sex once after I had had the implant removed while trying to decide whether DH would get the snip and am now 22 weeks pregnant
Thank you so much for all the replies I'm in complete shock. Had a really sleepless night waiting to test and finally got up at 6am (real time 5am yawn) I was so sure it was going to say 'not pregnant' so was in complete shock and burst into tears.
When we'd been trying I'd thought of all these special ways I'd break the news to dp if it happened but instead today I crept back into the bedroom in tears and as he woke up passed him the 'pregnant' stick. Dp said 'thank god for that I though you were crying cos the dog had died'
The dip tests were from home bargains and are still faint but pink today and I had to do a clearblue digital as a matter of course as it was with a mumsnet trial clearblue that I accidentally found out I was pregnant with Ds nearly 6 years ago! I was in complete shock and not believing it then either I still look at that thread sometimes, Mumsnetters are so lovely and supportive
Well this has to be the best mothers day present ever I agree here's to hoping it a sticky one. Strange thing is I have absolutely no symptoms at all except being horrible to dp for the last week and a few mild af type cramps since Friday so I'll actually be glad when I get some symptoms!
Thanks again everyone
