I'm on the implant. I took this test yesterday morning as I've been having pregnancy symptoms. This to me is a positive result. I rang doctor yesterday to tell them on out of hours service they were shocked I've caught on my implant. I've had spotting- which I'm guessing is implantation bleeding. But I need more opinions. I'm going to go get another test today clear blue one for tomorrow morning. It would be my second baby with a new partner who I've only been seeing for 2 months. I am not scared as such just a bit shocked. Our bodies are amazing eh!

I just checked the sensitivities- exactly the same for CB digital and FirstVue 25 mlU/ml
And the line on your FirstVue was not that faint so if it was a true positive the CB digital and the second cheapie test would not have been negative/blank

Don’t stress too much @Rainbowsandstars22
I would say trust the two negatives
FMU is not that much more reliable
www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/pregnancy-tests-urine-sample.php
And the cheap sticks have about the same sensitivity as the digital tests
Retest of course to put your mind at ease, but that first test honestly just looks like it got wet past the max line and I have seen plenty of false ‘positives’ on cheap tests that got too wet. You can tell because a lot of the ink is gone from the control line...
Good luck 🍀

Dont use a clearblue digital, it looks like you are too early for that. Get a FRER. That will give you clear strong lines with FMU if you are pregnant

Thank you 2020 I bought another clearblue test for the morning. Yeah it probably was to be honest. I am just si anxious about it all I will do it in the morning :)

A digital test needs higher amount of hcg to say positive. Going by ur last test it seems u could be very early, therefore u need to test only with first morning urine as long as u have held for a good few hours on a clear blue early response (6 days early) and /or a first response rapid response. If ur testing in the afternoon it’s possible ur urine is too diluted for hcg to be picked up

Right got a bit impatient and I tested this afternoon. I had 2 negatives and 1 invalid. The negative was on clearblue and the invalid and other neg was on freedom brand. I had to shop in Tescos as I was doing my food shop there. I feel anxious and scared. I rang my mum and she just told me how hard it would be being on my own with 2 babies. I've been a single mum for 3 plus years and I dont know whether I would be on my own

Right I was impatient and I took 3 tests this afternoon. 1 digital which said negative and the other 2 on freedom cheaply strips- one was invalid and other negative. I know I should have waited till the morning 😂 it's all I can think about atm I feel so confused. Because that for sure was a positive result yesterday. I'm talking to doctor tomorrow and see what they say xx

Amazing @Rainbowsandstars22
Please keep us all updated
What kind of symptoms made you test?
I had the implant for 16+ years and don’t think anything short of a baby kicking would have made me test haha! I have read that the implant is not harmful to pregnancy by the way, so don’t worry too much on that front...

Can you still feel your implant easily in your arm?

Rainbowsandstars22 · 11/10/2020 12:18

Yes I am a reasonable weight. Implants been in for 13 months. Well I've kept the test and everywhere has gone white apart from the pink lines. First one faint second very dark. I've kept it in a plastic food bag you use for sandwiches incase I need to tell my boyfriend 😂😂😂

@Rainbowsandstars22 if you are a reasonable weight and can feel your implant under your skin the chances of pregnancy are super low... the test looks positive, but I have had lines like that from accidentally drowning the test. Let us all know how you go with another brand/test! How long have you had your implant in for?

No I havent told my boyfriend yet I've sent the photo of the test to my mum, sister and a few friends for their opinion because I feel like I'm going a bit bonkers. Yes I spoke to out of hours doctor yesterday and he told me to test again but I'm waiting until tomorrow morning and if I am then docs will take a blood test to confirm the pregnancy and they will remove the implant. It's not the end of the world if I am. I'm 28 and I have a good job and am independent and everything. Apart from driving I'm just learning atm. I have good support around me if I am and have raised my daughter by myself 😘 it's just not what I was planning right now haha

Definitely do another test, just because there is a line but it could be a grey evap line as there isn't much colour to it, although that could just be the lighting in the picture.

If another test shows a positive then if you choose you want to keep the pregnancy I would get the implant removed ASAP. I don't know the medicine behind it but the implant is designed to change your hormone levels and hormone levels are important to a developing pregnancy.

The doctors will also need the batch number of your implant to report to the manufacturers in case it's a dodgy batch.

Dancingwithdaftness · 11/10/2020 09:58

Interested to see what second test says. Glad you're happy either way. Have you told BF yet?

Haha no thanks my daughter is 4! And I've been separated from her Dad since he walked out when she was 1. I'm a single working Mum but have been seeing a new man for 2 months. :)

Ah. I read it as it was written - second baby with a new partner. If you see what I mean.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 11/10/2020 09:45

@Frdd

I’m surly but second baby in 2 months? You need to double or triple up on protection x
I took that to mean that to mean it’s her second child but she’s only been with the new partner (not the father of baby number 1) for two months.
Frdd · 11/10/2020 09:42

*sorry

Okay thank you for the recommendations and responses will go get a different brand of test today. Poundland ones are just as reliable from reviews I've read online

OP posts:
ColonSemiColon · 11/10/2020 09:38

That test is flooded, so any answer it gives is inaccurate. There’s a line, but you need another test.

WB205020 · 11/10/2020 09:37

Get a clear blue digital test. It will say how early / far along you are too. No offence but I wouldn’t trust a Poundland pregnancy test. The clear blue ones are around £10. No cheap I know but they are very accurate and tell you in no uncertain terms so there is not question marks over whether a line is visible or not. Good luck.
