Pregnancy test results

I’m so sorry hun x I hope you weren’t in too much pain physically x

I’m sorry to hear this hun . I think it really depends on your GP It seems! Mine is quite nice . I found out about mmc through private scans , my mmc at 12 weeks I had seen heartbeat at 9 weeks and was gone by 12 weeks . It’s so awful thinking you were thinking it was alive when it wasn’t . If I get pregnant again I will have regular private scans so I know what’s going on . I guess the nhs don’t have the staff/ money etc to do this level of monitoring x

When I phoned the Drs up when i found out I was Pregnant last year they just told me to self refer to the midwife. Pretty scary actually when I'd had 3 previous miscarriages ranging from 4-6 weeks. Even when I asked for blood tests to check my HCG levels I was told no. I was ended up miscarrying again at 9 weeks thankfully I was able to see Baby well a little blob this time on an early scan due to a kidney infection although I wasn't offered the scan pictures. I do think it's pretty shit that most women are just expected to wait until 10-14 weeks before their first midwife appointment. I would've gone into the first scan thinking I was 3 months and past the danger zone when in reality I'd have had a dead baby inside me for 3-4 weeks

Hi Kirinm , no you don’t get gp blood tests as standard , I meant if you ask the gp because you’re concerned about hcg etc mine have always tested and other ladies on here . I’ve gone straight to midwife ( just self referred when pregnant b4) but with chemical / mmc I have done a mixture of gp and private blood tests ( private as quicker when I didn’t want to wait for GP ) x

Hi Phoebelouise , I’m really sorry 🙁 it must have been a chemical . I’ve had them myself . It does show you can get pregnant, which is how I always view them but it’s still so hard to have had hope built up and taking tests every day with anxiety . Lots of hugs xx

I think it will differ depending on where you are. I'm in London and had my baby nearly 2 years ago and didn't need a blood test. It was self referral to my local maternity unit. When I self referred I wasn't tested. I didn't self refer until I was getting very obvious positives so I'd wait for that.

Hi , my gps and other ladies always test , I’m not sure if something has changed since the virus or related to where you live . You definitely need a blood test , poas is only going to make you more and more anxious. Fingers crossed x Keep us updated hun xxx

My gut feeling, and I really want to be wrong, is that this may not end in good news. It's the lack of line progression that's making me cautious. After 7 days I'd expect strong clear positives but having said that some people do have slower HCG increases and then go on to have a perfectly healthy pregnancy.

I definitely believe you are currently pregnant.

Good luck - I do see the line on your most recent picture.

Personally I'd ignore the Sainsbury's tests because of the lines that came up on your sisters tests. It might just be worth waiting a few more days and getting better tests.

@Sunshinelove8 you don't have to see a GP anymore. Here you refer to the local midwifery tesm.

OP I'm not sure about those tests. When I was pregnant I got a positive on the internet strip and then waited a while to do a digital. I am shocked at those Sainsbury's tests - what a load of crap! They shouldn't be allowed to sell them - unless your sister is pregnant!

Those purple lines are very very clear.

What is your doctor on about 😖 at least test your bloods to establish what’s happening before sending you to a midwife ?? See another gp x

@Paiger2908 but the test you got your sister to take also looks positive? But you say she has an implant so I take it she’s not?
I’d get a whole different brand, even if you have to order online and wait a little bit. Hopefully by the time they arrive if you are pregnant your hcg will have risen enough to get a more definitive answer.

@phoebelouise I’d have requested that your doctor do a simple hcg blood test that they then repeat in 48-72 hours. It leaves no rooms for second guessing, either the hcg rises/doubles or it doesn’t. Then you have an answer.

Fingers crossed for both of you though

Phoebelouise did they do a hcg blood test ? That would tell them Straight away x

I never had any issues with the Morrison's own brand pregnancy tests. Didn't with the Tesco's ones either for the other poster. I did however get a brand years ago which showed positives on every single test but clear blue was negative so the Dr dismissed it as a faulty batch but I had a really heavy and clotty period afterwards. Didn't realise until years later that clear blue need higher levels of HCG

Hey everyone! I've got the same looking ones as Paiger, but mine are from tesco. Both of mine have come up with no control line so inconclusive?

How did everyone end up ? X

I went to buy some different ones today but there was none so I got another Sainsbury’s pack and got my sister (she has an implant) to do one aswell. Hers is the second down from top. Hers looks different to mine? Sorry to hear about yours Louisa x

@Paiger2908 is that Sainsburys ??? Mine was exactly the same yesterday
Two frer I’ve done since and both negative so I’m out ☹️
