Faint line on early response test from Lloyds - ADVICE NEEDED

36 replies

cbmb12 · 26/03/2016 06:50

We have just started ttc but I am still only 8 or 9dpo but had an early response test from Lloyds and I am impatient so I did the test, totally expecting it to be negative but then got a faint line- does anyone know if these tests ever give false positives? Also your opinion on the line itself would be v welcome!

Well after 7 firm negatives including 2 X 5miu and 2x 10miu tests, I was feeling very very disappointed. Am 1-2 days away from AF but tried an FRER (had 2 BFN on FRER earlier this week) and it was a BFP! Took the other to make sure!! And a faint, but clear pink line :)

I was testing with 5 and 10miu tests :/ :/ :/ Should have shown up by now, no? 14dpo roughly. I think I'm holding on to false hope.

Maybe you're just testing too early?
I know it's so hard but it might be better to just wait and see if AF arrives and if not, test in maybe a week or so.
Fingers crossed Flowers

Sadly, despite the positive test, I took 6 other very early response tests and all a solid negative. It definitely wasn't an evaporation line, so either it was a false positive, or within a matter of a few hours, it decided not to stick...
Feeling pretty miserable, and AF due in 2 days :( :( :(

That looks like my positive test at 8do.

I never got a positive test in the early days with my first wee of the morning, only with my second after not having a drink for 4 hours. I was 18do before I started getting positives with my first wee. Weird.

So you tested positive on Lloyds tests but either weren't pregnant or had a chem ? I guess I should assume the worst then. The line came up at about 2-3 mins like you said ....

OP posts:
FlourishingMrs · 27/03/2016 09:17

Try testing at 10DPO with a Frer. I trust that brand most. I got a faint for this preganancy at 9DPO and 11 DPO for my last one. Best yo wait until AF is late though.

FlourishingMrs · 27/03/2016 09:14

Yes but only on Lloyds line would come up at round 2-3 minutes. It could by they are too sentitive, perhaps less than the advertised 10ml so they pick up the very start of pregnancy but as you know not every pregnancy implants successfully.

Still have 6-7 days before AF due but kinda feel like it's not going to happen

FlourishingMrs - were yours false positives? I did a superdrug early one this morning and negative :( :( Feeling vvvv gloomy

I don't like Lloyds tests, I have had a few of faint lines but negative on Frer. Try with s Frer before you give up.

Duckdeamon · 26/03/2016 17:15

Did you take the second test at a different time of day? Your wee will have less hormones in the afternoon!

Depends on whether the line appeared within the time limit.

Reckon it's BfP though.

You might go a little nuts and spend a lot testing before AF is due!

kaymondo · 26/03/2016 17:12

Yes but was one with FMU? That will make a massive difference this early on.

I know.... and you are right...but I feel very disappointed. I have also been reading threads about false positives/very early chem pregnancies and that doesn't help.

Both tests I took were 10 IU/L ones.... just different brands.

See this is the risk of early testing.

It all depends on the sensitivity of the test, on your hydration levels, etc.

It might just mean you're well hydrated and that test is less sensitive, or it could be what you fear. There's no way of knowing yet. Ideally, leave it a few days before you test again. or at least use fmu every time

Does the picture look like it could have been an evap line?

Did a superdrug early test this afternoon and it was negative and now I'm feeling so gloomy and also confused by yesterday evening's result :( :(

KitKat1985 · 26/03/2016 10:10

Looks positive to me. Grin Maybe you ovulated a couple of days earlier than you thought?

IndomitabIe · 26/03/2016 07:37

Ooh, beware taking repeated tests to see if they get darker. There are so many variables involved that if they don't you'll drive yourself insane!

Or, know this, and do it anyway! (I did!)

Show your DH! Although mine dismissed it until the line was clearly, unarguably dark!

I don't want to show my husband in case it's wrong somehow or ends up as a chem pregnancy (don't want to get him excited only to disappoint) ... But I also really do .... Eek!

OP posts:
WellErrr · 26/03/2016 07:29

I got a positive FRER at 8/9dpo.

Looks pretty positive to me! Steer clear of digitals or blue dye, they're crap. If you keep going with the early response ones you'll probably find they'll get darker Smile
