Well i haven't got a clue what is going on, still no AF and did a cheapie test this morning and got another faint line, surely it should be alot darker now?

Any ideas anyone?

If you like,as a control,I'll get some poundland cheapies and see how dark a line I get (about 7 weeks pg).

Well my last AF was 25th March, so would be 5 weeks on Tues (if i am, which i don't think i am !).

TBH honest I got a very faint +ve with clearblue-so faint it almost wasn't there. I've found supermarket own brands reliable (Tesco/Asda) and they're cheap too,about £5 for two.

You need to read this. It explains how false positives are nigh on impossible.

NatalieJane · 27/04/2008 15:07

You have 2 blood tests (either 2 or 3 days apart, can't remember which now ) they will record the amount of hCG, if it doubles (or there abouts) then it is considered a viable pregnancy, though there have been cases where the hCG hasn't doubled and still things have been fine.

How many weeks would you be now, if you are pregnant?

Ok will go to GP in the morn, what happens with blood tests?

How long does that take for results to come back?

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 27/04/2008 15:03

OK firstly, according to FF, most women do always have a small amount of hCG in their urine, anything up to 2.5, anything over 5 is considered to be pregnancy.

Secondly yes a BFP will get darker, (my very very faint BFP from DS2 is now very very dark, although that is more than 2 years old!)

Don't worry what the pictures look like, as has been said monitor, and even the transfer of pictures will all take away the clarity.

You should go by the test stick in front of you (within the time limit) if you see a line, it is positive.

For the record I can see faint lines on both the CB's.

Disenchanted · 27/04/2008 15:03

I would go to the GP tomorrow and ask for a blood test,

take the tests with you and tell him many people you show'd the test at the time agreed it was +.

I was sure you would have gotten a BFP by now.

All i can go off is my 2 pregnancies i have already had.

dd - I did a clearblue (normal) the day i was due got a big, strong +

ds - did a test on the day AF due, got a neg, but got a + 4 days later.

For me to be pg now and not having a really strong + just seems a bit bizarre!

If i am pg, you can all be godparents for putting up with me though all this

Sooooo, if it was a faint BFP, would the line show more now? or would that be a evap line? because i can see the line a little better now, it has gone a bit darker with the time elapsed.

OP posts:
Disenchanted · 27/04/2008 14:56

maybe i just have a high level of Hcg in my pee anyway.

You can't have HCG in your wee unless you are pregnant.

NatalieJane · 27/04/2008 14:50

Depends on what you ate and drank this morning.

You need a FR, CB/CBD are crap!

What are we going to do with you? Will this thread still be going by the time I have gotten pregnant and given birth????

Also, looking at the pics i wouldn't say they are BFPs, they look kinda neg to me, i know there is a faint line but maybe i just have a high level of Hcg in my pee anyway.

Can you see faint lines?

Have just sneaked a peak at the test now, and the line is more prominent 45 mins later, but that piccie i took was after 5 mins.

Hey NJ

Did it about an hour ago, had not had a wee since this morning so was good as FMU.

NatalieJane · 27/04/2008 14:45

CB's are well known for giving very faint positives, there is no correllation between the strength of a line, and a strength of a pregnancy, and if the test's weren't picking up any hCG, they would all by negative.

Go to the GP tomorow, explain what's going on, I think even the leaflets in the HPT's says to go to the GP after a week.

I have said before, I was 9 days late with a perfectly healthy pregnancy before I got a BFP. And I am not alone in having to wait for ages before I got a BFP.

hCG does take a little while to make it into the urine, some people never get in their urine.

When did you do the test?

ARGH!

Ok, have done a clearblue again, and i don't think i am pg, have put a piccy in profile (again!).

I am a week late tomorrow at least, the CB is no stronger than last weeks, which it definately should be by now, all i am thinking is that how common is it to be almost a week late with no strong BFP - it can't happen alot.

So i got another faint line, if i was it would be much darker.

Still no AF though.

NatalieJane · 27/04/2008 13:51

Sorry had missed this thread

I think we all know you are pregnant.

The strength of the line generally doesn't tally with the 'strength' of the pregnancy.

I don't want to sound all grown up, but I think you would do well to try and change your mindset a bit, all the signs do point to you being pregnant, and I think if you carry on talking yourself into not being pregnant, you are going to have a fairly major shock come Tuesday.

Disenchanted · 27/04/2008 12:52

these were both taken on th same day at about 8-10 days AFTER my period was late. The purple one is a cheapie and the blue a midwives test - look at the difference!

Disenchanted · 27/04/2008 12:46

Do you want me to post you a midwives one??

sureitsno3 · 26/04/2008 23:25

Sorry for the delay everyone, you are all being so patient and kind about all this.

My period was due last Sun/Mon, still no sign.
i need a "proper" test but will have to wait until Tues (skint ).

Hopefully AF will have appeared by then, so won't need to spend £10 on one.

BigBadMouse · 26/04/2008 22:21

I came looking for you for an update can't believe you are still putting yourself through this.

Honestly, I really think you ARE pregnant - the giveaway bit is the hoping you have got away with it - def a sign of early pregnancy IME - oh yes and the lines and pluses everywhere, and the late AF......only a pregnant woman could have so much denial surely?

Hope you get some 100% certainty soon

sweetkitty · 26/04/2008 21:30

It took me until AF was 8 days late before I got a decent BFP on a cheapie.

Get a Clearblue Digital.

artichokes · 26/04/2008 21:29

I am 7 weeks pregnant and still get a very faint line on internet cheapies. Yet a First Response gives a really clear line. Internet cheapies are not worth the postage.

OracleInaCoracle · 26/04/2008 21:29

i HATE cheapies. for every person who got a clear bfp at 8dpo there are 10 who got faint bfps or bfn at 30dpo. go to your gp, tell them you are concerned and ask for a lab test. you are driving yourself mad like this!
