Just to clarify im not trying to conceive, this was the only section i could find! Basically I'm on the contraceptive combined pill Marvelon, not very good at taking it but still taking it every day. Had sex with my bf on Sunday without a condom and he came inside me.
In the last few days I've been feeling sick and achey and im a bit of a worrier, so took a pregnancy test (i know its only been 5 days) and i appear to have two lines on it, the second is faint..

Please tell me what you think - is this a positive., what should i do, as im scared sh*tless.

And the pill is 99% effective, meaning for every 100 women who take it perfectly one will get pregnant. So use condoms too. They are not 'disgusting'. Hmm

If that was the first time you've had sex you need to wait another 9 days and retest to make sure. 5 days is way too early for anything to show.

Those tests are crap. Test with a first response when your period is due, take your pill daily and make sure he wears a condom, for protection against STDs as well as pregnancy.

The pill will only cover you if you take it properly which you have admitted you're not.

Not quite sure why you find condoms disgusting, combining them with the pill (taken properly) then you won't have these stresses.

Hi Lucinda, yh i thought they were in the wrong place too, and theres no chance of conceiving earlier as it was the first time we'd had sex. Ive got a first response but my periods due next Tuesday and you can take it 6 days before your period. Just dont want to waste it yet!

SleepyRoo, unfortunately its both our fault we didn't use a condom because I thought they were disgusting (immature I know) and was convinced the pill would cover me 100% from what they told me at school.

Just confused as to why there are 2 lines. Im waiting till my periods due next week to take another

I've just had another look at the pic - the lines I thgt I cld see are just where the paper joins on the stick! I dnt think there are any lines where the test line wld show. I'd deffo say negative!! Take care x

Where did you get those tests? 5 days is too early for a positive result as the fertilised egg doesn't start to implant until Day 6 onwards. I can't see any lines but if there are, your dates must be wrong.

SleepyRoo · 11/02/2016 09:17

I doubt you're pregnant but please please do use a condom next time, your BF isn't taking full care and responsibility so you need to. If you're a worrier (I am too) do everything you can to prevent that worry turning into crises by taking extra care. You can still have a fun sex life, just without the panicked night sweats! Good luck OP

Hi Skye,

although I can see those lines, I think they are in the wrong place, and so I'm suspicious that they are true positives. But I'm no expert, I'm just basing that on other similar tests I've seen posted on here. As uve pointed out, 5 days after sex wld be far too early to get a positive, but that dsnt mean u didn't conceive earlier. Is there any way you could get a digital test and try again in the morning for a clear answer? I've also heard first response or superdrug tests are the best for early detection. Try to keep calm. Sending hugs Flowers

I'd say they were negative... Five days after sex is way too early to be taking a pregnancy test. Wait two more weeks and take another. Take care.
