Am I pregnant?!

broodymareisnotmystyle · 26/12/2018 08:24

Going through my bathroom toiletries section. Found a pregnancy test, I'm ruthless and just wanted rid of the thing so I can bin it. Due on today, took it literally just to use it up.

Looks like a faint line! Shock

What do you think?

The test doesn't expire until 2022.

Thank you Thanks

OP very similar happened to me a couple of years ago. We didn't go ahead with the pregnancy. It was very early stages and we got a termination very quickly. I'm not saying it was a walk in the park but we have never looked back. I'm not telling you to do this as it might not be right for you, just wanted to give another perpective.

You're on the pill and you just happen to brush past a pregnancy test?
It all seems a bit coincidental, for that reason I would question such a faint line.

I would suggest buying a test (although where from on Boxing Day?) and waiting until tomorrow but I'm impatient and want you to buy two tests so you can do one today and one tomorrow Grin

Confused its like you want to be, regardless of what you said before. So I hope you get the outcome you're hoping for.

Interested in this thread?

Yes there is definitely, definitely a line. But agree it’s to the left of where I would expect?

LookImAHooman · 26/12/2018 10:09

Looks like it! But you must have missed a pill or took outside the window if you are honest

The pill has a 99% effective rate when taken correctly. No contraception has a 0% failure rate.

I would suggest buying a test (although where from on Boxing Day?)

Supermarkets? Mini supermarkets? Out of hours pharmacies? Boots? Superdrug? Or any of the other choices open on Boxing Day?

Why not?

None of which are open in my town. I guess if the OP lives in a city or can travel to one of the above.

Also, what supermarkets are open on Boxing Day?

Every supermarket...

Deffo a pink line but looks too much to the left. Retest, hope you get the result you want x

broodymareisnotmystyle · 26/12/2018 11:41

Thanks all again, I'll test again today and tomorrow x

I don't get how so many MNetters keep seeing lines on these tests?

Sparklingbrook · 26/12/2018 11:46

Me neither Hash, I can see no line on any of them apart from the big red one. Or have tests changed and that's what I am looking for?!

PickleSarnie · 26/12/2018 12:03

I can see a line but it's too far to the left I think.

NoWordForFluffy · 26/12/2018 12:12

There's a few reasons: resolution / contrast of your phone; lighting (screen brightness and in the room); plus plain old eyesight / perception.

I generally see even the faintest lines, but put it down to the above if others don't!

NoWordForFluffy · 26/12/2018 12:12

And yes, sorry OP, forgot to say that it does look a little too far to the left.

Sparklingbrook · 26/12/2018 12:15

I am on my laptop and have made the pictures bigger. Still no line.

PrimeraVez · 26/12/2018 12:23

I was due to have a coil fitted at my 6 week appointment and wanted to be 100% sure I wasn’t pregnant beforehand. I’d had unprotected sex twice so knew there was a tiny chance I could be, even though I was EBF. When I got two clear positives, I was convinced it must just be residual HCG from my 6 week old but my OB said this was very unlikely, hence ordering a blood test. This came back negative so I’m not really sure why two urine tests showed positive.

costacoffeecup · 26/12/2018 12:25

That's a positive test - line looks in the right place to me.

NoWordForFluffy · 26/12/2018 12:31

I can see it on my phone without making the picture bigger! People's eyes are different too. 👀

Cookit · 26/12/2018 12:46

Don’t understand the people who can’t see it??

I’ve had fainter lines than that before that turned into clear lines (although my previous assertion that the line is a bit too far left still stands).

PurpleDaisies · 26/12/2018 12:48

Sometimes I think these threads are like the emperor’s new clothes.

I can’t see it either.

Sparklingbrook · 26/12/2018 12:48

What colour is the invisible line?

IfYouLikeALotOfChocolate · 26/12/2018 12:49

That line looks too far left to be correct to me

MorningsEleven · 26/12/2018 12:53

Also, I'm technically due on today BUT I only had sex 11 days ago. So no way I'm 14 days post ovulation

If you're on the pill you shouldn't be ovulating. That's kind of the point.

Omzlas · 26/12/2018 13:00

I'd probably get the test that says 'pregnant' and 'not pregnant', although I believe they aren't as sensitive as other tests. Test using your first pee of the day too, for best results

The left line looks too far over to me though

SmallYappyTypeDog · 26/12/2018 13:08

My faint, strain your eyes line from last year is sitting in the back of the car with me. It was so faint I could not even see it initially, only when I went back. I got a clear pregnant on one of the clear blue digital tests later the same day but have heard people say they are not as sensitive.
