Faint positive -advice needed!!

39 replies

Mugcake · 06/01/2021 12:11

Hi everyone,

Me and DP have been trying for our 1st and just now I got a very faint positive!
I was just wondering if anyone else had had a very faint line and was definately pregnant? I don't want to get my hopes up but I've never seen even a hint of a line any other month. . .im going to take another test but don't know weather to wait a few days? The suspense is killing me!

Any advice appreciated :)

Hi everyone... I’m hoping to join the September thread! Took a test at 8dpo and got a faint positive on a cheaply (will attach photo) did a frer today 9dpo and I THINK I see a very very very faint line.. af not due til 14th so at this stage I don’t know what’s happening! Congratulations to you all that have got BFP so far.. so exciting!😊x

@Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly I'd definately like that! It would be nice to keep in touch with people going through it as well :)

Finally had the confidence to do a digital 😍 does anybody want to start a due in September thread in the pregnancy board? Or is there one already?

mamaatthegym · 07/01/2021 10:02

Congrats @Mugcake (and the others!)

I do love a positive digital

Try not to worry to much about the cramps. Pregnancy and period symptoms don’t have many differences! It’s all the same hormones. I had cramps on and off all the way through 1st tri x

Congratulations 🎉 I've got a much stronger line today, and got digitals on the way!

Farfaraway1 · 07/01/2021 07:54

@TJ17 oh me too - I’ve found a local shop that sells a 7 pack of FRER’s for a great price - I’ve bought so many packs of them I’m sure the shop ladies must recognise me now and feel sorry for me..! 😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks lovely 😘 here’s hoping 🤞 xx

TJ17 · 07/01/2021 07:31

Or BFP even 😅😂

TJ17 · 07/01/2021 07:30

@Farfaraway1 I dread to think about the money I must have spent on tests 😅
I found the cheap supermarket own brands the best ones though.

It's deffo never over til AF arrives! I could give you all the advice like don't test early, only test once then wait a few days, don't over analyse every symptom, put it out of your head, don't stress and it will happen etc etc etc but I'd only be a hypocrite and I know full well it's all impossible!

Hope you get your BPF soon ❤️

Farfaraway1 · 07/01/2021 07:19

Thanks @TJ17 that’s very reassuring! Just goes to show that it’s not all over until AF actually arrived! I don’t know why I do it to myself - testing early.. I’ll probably keep testing each morning to see where things are at and see if anything more substantial appears!! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤨

TJ17 · 07/01/2021 07:08

@Farfaraway1 it's ok it sends us all crazy

Yeah the one I talked about editing was already a faint positive. However I never got a positive before my missed period with either of my babies! With DC1 AF was 2/3 days late before I got a BFP and with DC2 I didn't get a positive until AF was 6 days late!!

Hang on in there, it's an exciting time but it's also very stressful! I'm glad I don't want to do it all again haha good luck

Farfaraway1 · 07/01/2021 06:57

Congrats to those ladies with positives! 💖💖

@TJ17 just read an earlier comment about you used to change the lighting contrast on photos of your tests - I have to admit I’ve been doing the same 😂🙊 (yup I’m crazy..) did your tests that you were editing end up positive? Reason I ask.. I’m testing early (just couldn’t help myself.. 😣) and was sure I could see ‘something’ on the test so took a photo and started messing with it and seems a pretty obvious but VERY faint line.. so I’m just wondering if yours continued to progress or if they ended up just being shadows or something.. xx

I felt like I needed it in writing rather than guessing with faint lines haha

Congrats! @trying4baby2021 :)

@terrifiedoftrying4no2 that's reassuring, I'll try not to worry too much then and just keep an eye on it, thank you!

Bigdreamer9 · 06/01/2021 19:52

@Trying4baby2021 @Mugcake

Congratulations both!

Trying4baby2021 · 06/01/2021 19:07

I can't believe the change in a few days. I took the first clear blue at 9dpo, the free and digital at 12 dpo finally got my BFP after 11 months ttc

TJ17 · 06/01/2021 19:04

Ahhh I love a good digital as there's no mistaking it

Fingers crossed all is ok

TerrifiedOfTrying4No2 · 06/01/2021 19:03

Congratulations!

Don’t worry about the slight cramps it’s very normal. If they increase or younger any bleeding contact your GP but otherwise try not to panic!

I spent a lot of the first half of my pregnancy saying “I’ve got period pains what if something wrong?”

And the second half “I’ve got period paints again.. do you think I’m in labour?!”

Al fun and games 🥳

I couldn't wait!!

Feeling so many emotions right now. . . Shocked, scared, happy, overwhelmed.

The only thing that's worrying me us that I'm having period type pains. . Is that normal? Or a sign this little one isn't sticking around?

TJ17 · 06/01/2021 16:30

Haha it happens to all of us!

Upload a pic in the morning. Good luck! 🤗

TJ17 · 06/01/2021 15:16

@Mugcake I deffo see it

I used to be there charging the light/contrast on the photos to try and make it show up more to prove to myself I wasn't going mad 😅😂😂

Thanks Everyone for the messages :)
