Positive test but too early to tell?

I've not really been feeling myself for the past week, really really sore breasts, slight nausea, constipation (which is really rare for me), horrible taste in my mouth, so I took a pregnancy test (two days in a row) and both have come back positive, the only problem is that it is too early to tell I've realised after reading up online, I can only be about three weeks and it's a week before my next period is due. As we are ttc I'm worried about telling my partner or getting my hopes up, I'll attach the pregnancy tests photos to make sure.
Also another factor is I've just started taking Amitriptyline, I took it for a few days stopped for a week as I felt I'll and took it again a few days this week. I'm worried this is all false hope, I've stopped taking it again after a few days use.

Hi i don't want to be the giver of bad news but i have attached a screen shot from drugs.com and the link is here www.drugs.com/cdi/amitriptyline-perphenazine.html

However, I hope you are pregnant and it has nothing to do with the tablets.

You're all amazing by the way & thank you! I don't have anyone to really talk to about this and my partner doesn't come home until Sunday as he works away and I don't want to tell him over text. It's really nice to have the support Flowers

That's a really good idea actually, I'll have to pop up to Tesco tomorrow and see if they have any.

Could you do a clearblue digi? I was bit obsessive about testing and they were fairly accurate with the weeks indicator.

I may have to get to the doctors sooner to get to the bottom of this, the test that tested for pregnancy was in my first round of bloods which were about two months ago.

That is a possibility, I roughly have 5 week cycles anyway, but I'm quite sporadic so catching ovulation has always been tough so we recently gave up. I stopped logging my periods so I can't even say exactly when it was but it was roughly 4 weeks ago and I'm due next week according to a period tracker, my sloppiness does not help my situation haha

Congratulations. You are definitely pregnant and amitriptyline would not cause a positive result. A strong positive like this indicates either your further along or it could he twins/triplets

MissClarke86 · 04/11/2016 20:21

But AFTER the heavy bleed, could you have ovulated sooner than you thought? I.e. Ovulated on day 7 (straight after the bleed) instead of day 14. That'd make you one week more pregnant than you think.

whycanineverthinkofausername · 04/11/2016 20:19

With the heaviness of my last period I can't say I think I'm any later, I also had a series of blood tests about two months ago that never picked it up, reading down and seeing other people's tests makes me realise that it's not normal and it appeared pretty quickly within 30 seconds of me doing it.

Unless your medication has a side effect of increasing HCG production, which I highly doubt, you're pregnant. Very pregnant.

It is very early for a positive that strong....either your further along than you think (could you have ovulated earlier than you think?) or maybe it's twins?!!

whycanineverthinkofausername · 04/11/2016 20:11

I know, that's what I was thinking but I had a really heavy period 4 weeks ago, so i can't be. That's what makes me think it might be the medicine? I've booked a doctors appointment but they can't get me in until the 21st. It's odd isn't it? I'm not sure what else I can do and I'm so impatient! It's taking up my whole head at the moment.

Any chance you're further along at all? That's a stronger positive than I got and I'm 9+5. Smile

False positives are very uncommon, congratulations!

mylittlephoney · 04/11/2016 12:01

Congratulations your pregnant!
