Faint positives, indents, or overactive imagination?

Hi,

Dh and I have been trying for a baby for a while. I had my last 'normal' on 22nd July, meaning I would be 10 days late today. However 2 weeks after that period on 22nd July I had a strange bleed that lasted 3 days and wasn't like my usual period in terms of consistency.

My periods are normally regular so I am very confused and a bit concerned of what that bleed was. Anyway, I took these pg tests and think I can see faint lines, but I'm not sure? Also did a blue dye tesco test and it was a definite negative.

If I was pregnant I would think that the tests should be darker by now? Or am. I just imagining things that aren't there? Thanks.

The digital tests aren’t as sensitive however I’d expect it to detect pregnancy 10 days after your period was due. I think I did one at around this stage and it definitely picked it up. Weird though because the others do look positive to me. Try a first response test.

Thank you for the replies everyone. I agree the tests I'm using are rubbish and some FRER coming tomorrow. I took another CB and 2 Freedom ones this morning and they were all negative sadly. After seeing that faint line on the CB last night I was expecting to see at least something this morning but alas nothing!

Also, on my fertility app I have changed that 3 day bleed to a confirmed period and of course everything changed to make more sense! As you can see when me and DH DTD it would have been a day before ovulation, going by the new date. So that would only make me 10dpo today! I know that's very early for positives, but is it a bad sign that I had those faint positives and today don't have any this early in? Or can that be normal? As you can tell I am a bundle of nerves 🙈
