Good evening ladies, I am so excited to join this community, I have been following a few peoples threads and you all seem so supportive!

I need some advice, if any of you can help?
basically I am due on toyda, no af as of yet, had some slight cramping but no sign of any bleeding. last night I took a cheap pregnancy test, which came up with some sort of line, but unsure if positive. This morning I took a clear blue which says it detects pregnancy 6 days before you are due, that was negative, also took a First response today during the day which was negative. but then took another cheap test which showed a faint faint line. so now I am very confused, does anyone have any similar stories? im worried the lines might be evaporation lines?

I would wait a few days and take another test.

Hopefullmamaxx · 09/10/2019 20:38

@tobycat1 the thing is, I have been doing tests for the last 7 days, and I keep seeing the lines on the cheap ones, but now im thinking, surley if I was pregnant the line would of got darker by now? :(

God I bet you are so confused. It’s so hard wondering isn’t it.
I used a first response before I missed a period though and it came up positive straight away.
Could you get a clear blue that tells you how many weeks, I found that the most accurate.
I would keep taking a test a day until you get a strong positive or your period comes.
Good luck hun xxx

Hopefullmamaxx · 09/10/2019 21:03

I took a clear blue yesterday, it was a negative, and then iv been reading so many threads that say that clear blue arnt as sensitive as they make out :( will do another first response tomorrow and then if its still negative I will wait a week :( thank you hun will update you in the morning. xx

I didn't get a line until AF was 5 days late. If she hasn't come you're still in the game! Try again in a couple of days with a FRER on 1st wee of the day. Good luck!

Hopefullmamaxx · 10/10/2019 11:01

@Inthesky42 thank you so much for your response! It’s day 2 overdue and I’m still not on!! Took a FRER this morning and nothing, I’ll try upload a pic xx

I’d wait a few days and then see

Hopefullmamaxx · 10/10/2019 12:17

@TilandPop that’s what I’m going to have to do, I’m just so impatient. my periods are irregular sometimes which doesn’t help the situation either! :( x

Hopefullmamaxx · 13/10/2019 09:38

Hi ladies!! @Tobycat1@Inthesky42@TilandPop I took another test last night and then one again this morning.. what do we think? Evap or positive?? I’m so scared to get excited!

confused, am i pregnant?

Tobycat1 · 13/10/2019 09:49

It really does look like an early positive to me! When is your period due?

MaidenMotherCrone · 13/10/2019 09:57

Looks like you've wet the whole stick rather than just the end. Next time pee into a container and dip the end in.

Hopefullmamaxx · 13/10/2019 10:01

@Tobycat1 I’m 6 days late!! X

@MaidenMotherCrone - nope, it was one that had casing round it, I waited 5 mins and then took the casing off, the inside isn’t wet at all x

OP posts:

MaidenMotherCrone · 13/10/2019 10:02

Apologies Op

Hopefullmamaxx · 13/10/2019 10:16

@MaidenMotherCrone not a problem ! X

OP posts:

schafernaker · 13/10/2019 10:34

I didn’t think you were supposed to take the casing off?

I had a similar problem a few weeks back, very faint lines. I waited and did a clear blue digital a few days later. It most definitely said pregnant 😊

I know it’s frustrating but it’s best to wait a little while longer and save some money instead of buying tears daily

Hopefullmamaxx · 13/10/2019 11:20

Iv read up on like 1000 threads of other women that have done it because it’s easier to see, and they’ve all been pregnant so thought I’d try, you can still see it with the casing on (pic attached) I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t seeing things haha!

And yes it’s so frustrating!! Xx

ChickenNugget86 · 13/10/2019 11:36

On the cheaper ones that's what mine looked like. I used a few cheap ones and a digital one from boots which came up 'pregnant'
Good luck x

CAG12 · 13/10/2019 11:55

This must be so frustrating for you. Unfortintely the only way to know for sure is to wait. When I was TTC I hated waited, but its the only thing that let you for sure.

Keep busy OP! Best of luck x

Hopefullmamaxx · 13/10/2019 12:33

@ChickenNugget86 that gives me so much faith! I’m thinking of doing a digital today but then Iv seen so many threads that say their not very sensitive and I must be very early on! So not sure!! But will keep you updated! Congratulations! Xx

@CAG12 ahhh honestly the wait is the WORST thing Iv ever bloody experienced! I keep telling myself I’m not going to test for two days but I just can’t!! To be honest 2 days ago I did my last one and it was negative but I swear I saw a line, and now 2 days later this has come up! So I can only hope! The heartburn I am experiencing right now is unbearable!! Thank you 💖

Just done a clear blue and it said ‘not pregnant’ .. now very confused :(

OP posts:

Nhaide01 · 13/10/2019 16:29

Sorry to add in on your thread but I am currently in the same situation..
Me and my partner are trying to conceive.
Last week I had a bleed that lasted 5 days but not like a period but my periods were due this week and they can be unpredictable so I cant be 100% sure.
I've taken loads of test 50% positive and 50% negative
Done 5 digital one said pregnant the rest said I wasnt.
I havnt had much symptoms, mild headaches, going toilet more but thats about it.
I've an appointment with my doctor tomorrow and my head is all over the place thats shes going to tell me I'm not pregnant or I've miscarried

@Cherrymum4 unfortunately not sorry hun. I hope you get your BFP. X

@Nhaide01 I suggest getting blood tests hun, we’re you using different brands of tests or were they all the same with negatives and positives? X

OP posts:

Nhaide01 · 13/10/2019 22:35

All the same all clear blue brand
