Could I be pregnant?

44 replies

ChattyMum86 · 19/01/2021 21:15

Hi folks, I need some advice and I hope you people in the know can help. My last period started on the 17th December, I had unprotected sex on the 27th December. It is now the 19th January and I've had no period and also no cramps etc. Tests so far have been negative.
Has anyone with similar timescales gone on to be pregnant??

Hi! Sorry - newbie here! Can I just ask what CB and FRER tests are? Thank you x
CB = Clear Blue FRER = First Response Early Result

I find CB tests show BFP for me when FRER show negative. I also think there have been issues with FRER (maybe the ones bought from Amazon or something?) so definitely don't count yourself out based on a negative FRER.

Fingers crossed for you OP.

OP that looks totally positive! And for a clear blue as well, they're usually evil and say BFN even when you're pregnant.. if i saw that after i POAS i would be adamant i was pregnant... keep us updated but i'd say you're pregnant

It looks positive to me. Also not unknown to ovulate as early as CD 10 or the sperm could have hung on for a few days.

Good luck x

Ok I will retest in another couple of days. 👌🏻 thanks all so much for your responses, it really helps when the head is spinning with thoughts/questions.

I do agree though, I haven't seen an evap like that before but know that frer is so sensitive, so confusing!

I'll keep you updated. Good luck on all your journeys ❤️

I think unfortunately if the frer was done after the blue dye test and came up negative it seems unlikely as they are much more sensitive. Sorry OP! With my first child I had to test 3 times, 2 days apart and didn't get a positive until 6 days after my period was due, so if no period arrives I'd test again in another couple of days x

That's not an evap line and it wouldn't be looking like that after ten minutes of it wasn't positive anyway

iftherewereahorseyinthehouse · 19/01/2021 22:14

Your test is quite clearly positive. Take another.

@ChattyMum86

I had a negative test, put it in my bin. Took another 2 days later, was positive. Checked the one in the bin and it was faint positive too . Test again in a day or so Smile

I don't think it is though as this was after 10 minutes and I had a negative frer the following day 😔

Thank you @sabrinathemiddleagewitch , I did think that might be the case 👎🏼 was hoping I'd stumble upon someone with a success story.

Ah well, now that we got semi-excited, we'll put more effort into it next month haha! 🙈

That's a positive test!

sabrinathemiddleagewitch · 19/01/2021 21:38

If you've got a line your pregnant! Congrats

sabrinathemiddleagewitch · 19/01/2021 21:37

It's very unlikely if the 27th was the only day you had unprotected sex.
Would mean you ovulated on cycle day 9 or 10.
The first response at pretty accurate from 12 DPO. Meaning you would have got a positive on the 8th of January.

Yes I would love to be pregnant 😔 I will keep testing. I got the line on the pic attached but unfortunately I didn't get back to the test before the ten minute limit as I got a work zoom call so this was after 20 mins ...

Could I be pregnant?

Viviennemary · 19/01/2021 21:26

It's possible. Do you want to be pregnant?

lovablequalities · 19/01/2021 21:25

You could be. Depends on your cycle etc.

But my period was 14 days (!) late this time when I'm usually bang on every month so 🤷‍♀️

Keep testing is the only advice.

Probably round about the 15th. I took one of the '6 day early' Frer tests though and it was negative 👎🏼

When were you expecting your period to start?
