Has anyone tested and then a line appears after the time limit that has colour and gone on to be positive? Tested and didn't appear to be a line, went out for 2 hours, came back and a second line was clearly visible and with colour. Don't know how long after. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and been pregnant? At this point we are happy either way and will re test in the am but just thought I'd see if this has happened to others.

Hi @BAST1 I was pregnant but sadly miscarried. I then fell pregnant in the April/ May and am sat with my rainbow baby now.
I wish you all the luck and positive vibes.

@TTCnewbies Ergh I’m so sorry! Could it at all have been you caught a very early chemical happening? When ttc my second I had a chemical pregnancy. Faint lines that got even fainter and then one morning absolutely nothing, I was devastated. Af was then 5 days late and very heavy. I would still wait and test in the morning on a frer test if you can get any from anywhere. I would like to take one myself as I got this earlier but don’t entirely trust the internet cheapies but also find frer hard to come by these days for some reason.

I'm back with an update.

Finally bought some more tests. I got some cheap clear and simple ones. Didn't wee for 3 hours before test. Stark white. Feel gutted. Will show you test now. I still feel out of sorts and wondering if AF is coming.

Are boots tests known for false positives? There was definitely colour in the lines. I've still got the tests.

I have had a line pop up today about 3 minutes out of the time window. I am only 8dpo though so still very early and still very silly to be testing so soon 😂 I looked after 4/5 mins and didn’t see anything and then looked again after 7/8 mins and saw this (I’ll attach a photo). I’ve since done 2 more and they are all the same except this time I made sure to look after 5 minutes. Yours looks very, very positive to me!

Thanks.

I still feel as though AF is on its way. I have not been able to pick up any tests yet. Earliest opportunity will be tomorrow afternoon, I'm not sure whether to waste a proper test on afternoon wee. So maybe I'll test Tues am.

My first pregnancy started with a flooded test that I gradually noticed went positive over the course of about 10 hours. Had no idea that such lines weren't to be trusted... but was obviously reliable in that case. I had implantation cramps and then round ligament pain over the first few weeks. All very worrying, but perfectly normal. The difficulty is that some normal early pregnancy symptoms are the same as signs that things aren't going so well. All you can do is take things day by day.

I think we will try to pick one up over the next few days and see!

I wouldn't be surprised if you get a "pregnant" on a CB early digital right now. The cramping is normal from what I've read :)

Oh wow really? I am not sure I'll believe it until I get a few more tests / AF doesn't come. I feel as though it's on the way. Does everyone feel the same cramps?

OP posts:
fancyfrogs · 30/12/2023 10:47

I would absolutely say that's positive!

coffeeandcake91 · 30/12/2023 09:48

I can see that line! 🎉🎉🎉

curliegirlie · 30/12/2023 09:15

Nope, that's definitely a proper line - congratulations!

This was this morning. Tbh very similar line to yesterday, no darker at all. Came up in about 4/ 5 mins. Instead of the 3 it suggests. I'm leaning towards indent.

@coffeeandcake91 I'll update you in the morning! I'm just hoping it'll be clear either way rather than out of the time limit this time.

OP posts:
coffeeandcake91 · 29/12/2023 22:17

@TTCnewbies I do too!!! It's normal. I've literally spent the entire day researching the cramping. Period symptoms and early pregnancy symptoms are so similar, it's really hard to tell. Good luck to you though, and keep us posted!

Congratulations to you @coffeeandcake91

I will keep you posted. The only test I have is another from the same pack. Weirdly though I feel the exact same pre period cramps so I'm not convinced.
