Am I pregnant again? (I have a 12 week old!)

I had a niggle the other day so did a Frer in the afternoon ...nothing.... Until I opened it up (I know that makes it invalid) and then I could clearly see a line on the reverse side (the matt side, not the shiny side)
So I assumed it's an indent.

Then I did another Frer the next day (yesterday) and same thing, nothing until I opened it and then I could see an ident line.

This afternoon I did a Clearblue and same again...an indent. Or is it?

I know all 3 tests are now invalid but I'm still curious (yes, I'll keep testing!)

I'm breastfeeding and haven't had a period yet.

The 'niggle' has been vivid dreams, metallic taste and crying over the silliest things.

Mainly wondering if it's possible to get 3 consecutive indents from 2 different brands...any thoughts?

I see a line on the cab and the frer!

I think the thin blue line on the clear blue is an indent

Wait!
I just went to throw the tests in the bin and saw another thin blue line on the clear blue.
Nothing on the Frer.

So I'm yet another who can add their vote of no confidence in clearblue as I know from reading many MN posts that Frer is the more reliable of the two brands

Update...big fat negatives on clear blue and Frer this morning.
Metallic taste gone along with vivid dreams but perhaps those were both the result of me over analysing everything!

I've read the opposite! A line is a line, no matter how thin or pale! Try a pink line test so you def know it's an evap line. But I'm offering a tentative congratulations!

That lines too thin but definitely has colour. I would test again, I got pregnant whilst breastfeeding it's definitely possible!

This mornings clearblue...of course I tested again. I would love to have the self control to wait but I don't.
I haven't had a period yet so no idea where I am on my cycle.

But the line is so thin, I've read that means it's faulty so I guess I'll be testing again tomorrow! 🤪

No, it doesn’t

Yes have been having unprotected sex but only a few times (I know it only takes once 😂)

I would be thrilled if I was pregnant again as I'm 41 and I assumed it would take much longer

Well might be good news then! For most, having a 12 week is enough contraception!

emma1103 · 15/07/2022 07:53

Every negative frer test i did had a noticeable indent line

EarringsandLipstick · 15/07/2022 07:36

Why are you opening them up? Anything you see will not be a valid result.

You need to take one pregnancy test according to instructions with FMU and then use the result you see.

If several days pass & you still have symptoms, you take another.

Absolutely not need, and no point, to pull them apart or to take more than one in a 3 / 4 day period.

First thing in the morning do a clearblue or similar, but follow the instructions.
They're designed to give a swift, clear answer.
Good luck!

Have you had unprotected sex? If you have you might be pregnant. The tests at this point are immaterial.
