I’m panicking. This means what I think it means, doesn’t it?

This is a BFP isn’t it?

Been feeling nauseous for a couple of weeks. Took a test a week ago and got a negative. Nearly threw up on my run this morning so thought I’d just double check.

I’ve had an ablation, I’m on contraception. There’s only one option for me.

But the sideways line hasn’t come up. Does that mean I’m panicking unnecessarily?

It looks negative

Looks negative to me

Looks negative to me

It’s negative. It doesn’t have a cross.

I think it’s a negative test. If you’ve been feeling sick for a couple of weeks it ought to be a blazing positive by now.

Why do you think it is positive? Looks negative to me

I am also confused as to why you’re thinking it’s a positive, it says what that would look like right there on the test!

I can’t see a line for a cross for it to be positive.

Why do you think its a BFP???? There is just one line...not a cross?

Looks negative to me too, if you soon I'm there's no sign of a vertical line?

That definitely looks negative to me. There would be two lines forming a + in the larger window if you were pregnant.

It’s a positive cos the line is going up and down not sideways… or is that the control line and I’m looking at the wrong window in my panic?

I’ve got pretty good line eyes and I can’t see one. I think that’s a negative OP, but as you’ve had an ablation, I’d go to the GP and ask for a blood test for your HCG if you’re worried xx

Agree that’s negative - the sideways line is the one that means positive, the horizontal is a control. Hopefully panic over!

That looks negative to me. All I can see is shadow where the line would be. Do you have a closer pic?

Read the instructions, and look again.

That’s negative. Is it the line being opposite to the control line thats thrown you?

You’ve got a sideways line, but you haven’t got a vertical line, that means negative. Did you use a different type of test before?

Negative - you need a cross just like the picture for it to be positive

You’re panicking OP - that’s the control. It’s the big window you need to look at - it needs a cross in it

I don't know why you'd think it's positive? It's clearly negative.

But the sideways line hasn’t come up.

The big window with the horizontal line = not pregnant.

If there was a cross in the big window it would = pregnant.

The small window is just a check box to show the test works. Check the packet if you’re unsure.

You’re looking at the wrong window OP. It’s the bigger window that should have the cross. The smaller window is the control

The line going up and down is the control line to say the test has worked.

That’s a negative test.

The big window is the test window. To be pregnant, it shows a cross. A horizontal line is negative. Look at the examples on the side. That’s a negative test.

The control line is the smaller vertical one - that doesn’t mean you’re pregnant, it just shows that the test worked.
