Am I pregnant?!

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

The definitely not invisible line is pink! Xmas Grin

Sparklingbrook · 26/12/2018 13:40

Right. A pink line. And it's on the left you say?

Whisky2014 · 26/12/2018 13:43

Oh i just realised I can zoom in. Yeh there is a pink line. But i agree it seems too far to the left.

Interested in this thread?

I see a line, but does look too far over. Give it a few days and test again.

NoWordForFluffy · 26/12/2018 14:07

Here's the line, circled!

Whisky2014 · 26/12/2018 14:35

I think people know to look in that general area, word!
It's only really visible if you zoom in.

Soubriquet · 26/12/2018 14:36

Yes I see a line but I too say it looks too far to the left and doesn’t look like it’s where it’s supposed to be. Also with you being due on today, I would also expect it to be darker

Dowser · 26/12/2018 14:39

How many lines should there be...I can see a red one on the right....should there be more?

NoWordForFluffy · 26/12/2018 14:59

@Whisky2014, there are people who are saying they can't see it even zoomed in though, hence trying to be helpful!

I didn't have to zoom in, but I've had my own super-squinters in the past so have well-trained eyes! Grin

WorraLiberty · 26/12/2018 15:07

You must've had an inkling there was a very slight chance of pregnancy OP.

Literally no-one pisses on a pregnancy test 'just to use it up', especially when it doesn't go out of date until 2022.

Congratulations but I wish you'd be a bit more honest because there'll be others reading this, who have never missed a pill or been in and it'll be worrying the life out of them I expect.

WorraLiberty · 26/12/2018 15:08

*been ill

NoWordForFluffy · 26/12/2018 15:11

That's true, Worra. I've never randomly POAS to get it used up!

I haven't be dishonest in the slightest. You can believe what you like, of course.

This pregnancy (if I'm pregnant) wouldn't be a wanted one by me.

I can see a faint line too OP. I agree that it looks a bit far to the left though. Can you pop to a supermarket and get another test today?

crosbyrose · 26/12/2018 15:28

That is 100% just the indent line. I got that every single time I did a FRER and was never actually pregnant. It’s a flaw in the design.

DyingMachine · 26/12/2018 15:33

I'd say no, you're not pregnant

WorraLiberty · 26/12/2018 15:37

So what really made you pee on a pregnancy test that's still good for at least another 3 years? Confused

If you wanted to throw out a toilet roll, you wouldn't force out a dump just to use it up, would you?

Kneesbend · 26/12/2018 15:45

17 years of fertility treatment tells me that this is a very clear line on the first few pictures uploded by OP however I actually can’t see it on the one you have circled Confused

There is actually a website where you upload the photo and change the colours to b&w and it’s much more defined either way. I’m sorry I don’t know the name of it. Worth googling?

EnidButton · 26/12/2018 15:49

Triple figure pregnancy tester and there's no line. Purely off those tests, you're not pregnant.

The incredibly faint line on the left that people are seeing, (when they turn their backlight right up and zoom in), is always there on a used test. It's not the line that appears on a positive test.

EnidButton · 26/12/2018 15:50

And I agree with pp about getting the thread moved to the pregnancy section.

EnidButton · 26/12/2018 15:52

also agree that people don't randomly use up in date tests, on Boxing Day of all days.

Crunchymum · 26/12/2018 15:52

I've got a shit load of tests from my last pregnancy and never, ever has it occurred to me to use them "just because"

How odd.

And I can't see a line. I am a crap line spotter though.

RogueV · 26/12/2018 15:55

I can 100% see a line

AndItStillSaidFourOfTwo · 26/12/2018 16:01

Sorry, I'm kind of with Worra. I've never taken a pregnancy test 'just because' when I didn't think there was at least a chance I could be.

And I don't see a line at all. Confused

CaptainBrickbeard · 26/12/2018 16:02

The very faint line is too far to the left. I don’t understand using it I order to throw it out - why not just chuck it unused?
