Positive after 18 months of trying next test negative

Hey everyone,

I woke up early hours with overwhelming feeling to do a pregnancy test I'm currently 9dpo. Done a clear blue digital (without weeks indicator) test it come up pregnant.

I've rushed to asda to get more tests they only had clear blue weeks indicator - managed do tiniest wee to test it in and to my shock it's come up not pregnant.

Now my head is well and truly fried.. could it just be that it was only about an hour after my first wee and it wasn't concentrated enough? Or can you get false positives on these.

Oh okay. Don't rule yourself out though as you still have time.

Because it's super super faint and I know these tests are bad for indent/evap lines

2 more negatives this morning, think I am out . Very very very faint line on first response but not taking that as a positive at all. Can't belive after 18months of nothing that this has happened 🥲

Also if you got a faint line why are you not taking that as a positive?

You're still so early so don't rule yourself out. You still have time left to test x

9DPO is still very early. If you've had even one positive then there is HCG in the urine. I suggest holding off testing again until the day before your period is due (or even longer) and if you want to be sure, ask your GP for a serum HCG - it will give you an answer within a day. Good luck :)

Thanks everyone patiently waiting for tomorrow morning praying that this is it 🤞🤞

I honestly think it's a bit too early for us and we will see it develop. You have one positive there - that means something!

Batbatbatty · 25/09/2022 12:10

Like a previous poster said, don't test again today! Wait until first thing tomorrow morning or better yet, 2 days

SalviaOfficinalis · 25/09/2022 12:09

It’s not about holding in wee, the morning wee is strongest because you’re a bit dehydrated having not drunk for 8 hours overnight.
I know it will feel like forever but try again tomorrow morning. Best of luck

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all your advice.
I've held my urine for 4 hours and taking a first response which is also negative. I am very confused right now 🥲

I agree with above but also, we are cycle twins! ♥️

DPO9 and I've just had a very faint positive on a One Step cheapie this morning too 🥹 I have the CB digitals here but I'm going to try and hold off as I know they're not as sensitive. Keep us updated ✨

PinkButtercups · 25/09/2022 08:45

Get another test (not digital) they're not very sensitive.

Test again tomorrow with your morning wee x

PointyMcguire · 25/09/2022 08:24

Don't panic, the digital tests are always less sensitive so best taken using FMU. If you feel like you still need reassurance I’d try and get hold of an FRER. Best of luck and fingers firmly crossed for you x

cavebaby · 25/09/2022 06:36

A digital positive at 9dpo is great and they can only pick up HCG if it's there. Squeezing out another wee an hour later just isn't going to show the same levels of HCG as a full night of concentrated wee so this would be why the second test showed negative.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and if you want to test again, make sure you either wait for your first morning urine again or do a long daytime hold so your wee is as concentrated as possible. Hope everything goes well for you!

PurBal · 25/09/2022 06:29

A false positive is unlikely but since the tests measure the amount of hcg I think it’s likely there wasn’t enough wee. Get a FRER because they’re more sensitive and even the faintest line indicates positive. The digital tests aren’t as sensitive. Fingers crossed for you 💐

Novella12 · 25/09/2022 06:26

It's most likely to be due to the concentration of your wee, especially as you're so early (you won't have much HCG in your system yet). It would be very unusual to get a false positive. Don't test again today - give a few days for your HCG levels to rise further if you want a confirmation test!
