I have has two very fuzzy / super light positives - but he rest are negatives. I feel pregnant though. Think period due today or tomorrow... Am i testing too early?

My negative test is sat next to me trying to get my pad off me.

Can I hijack and ask how many of these 'negative tests' turned out to be DSs rather than DDs?

I read that HCG levels rise slower with boys. In my case I got a strong line before my period was due with DD and had to wait until after I was due to get a faint line with DS.

It's probably just nonsense but would be interesting to hear people's experiences.

Mine was a DS! Interesting theory!

BreastmilkDoesAFabLatte · 24/03/2014 19:28

Wow... my "negative" was a DS too!

With DD I tested positive within a day or so of missed period.. with DS, it took until about 6-7 weeks!

ICanSeeTheSun · 24/03/2014 19:30

My negative was DD

PastaandCheese · 24/03/2014 20:34

Same as me then breastmilkdoesafablatte positive much earlier for a DD.

Interesting......

CrohnicallyChanging · 24/03/2014 20:41

I tested faintly positive 2 days before my period was due with DD, on a cheapy dip stick test.

LittleDonkeyKong · 24/03/2014 20:53

I used the Clear Blue digital ones, the ones that say "pregnant" or "not pregnant" tested 5 days before period was due and got positives on the 1st test with both my DDs

Odaat · 24/03/2014 20:57

Oooh maybe I am having a boy!!

7 negatives before a positive at 6 weeks pregnant. I was on the pill but just knew I was pregnant. DH was starting to worry about my sanity (and bank balance with the obsessive test buying). Our daughter will be a year old this weekend!

I didn't get a positive till a week after my period was due (tested every day as I thought something was going on)... She's now 4 Grin

Test again tomorrow but is does sound hopeful! Smile

Odaat · 25/03/2014 06:49

It does indeed! I just wonder why a line comes and then practically disappears? My period is due - im sure it was a day or two ago. I just feel pregnant. My boobs feel like they have done 10 x rounds with Mike Tyson!! Even my armpit hurt !? Haha.

A faint line is a line!

Bohemond · 25/03/2014 06:54

Maybe there is hope for me.
TTC (but over 40)
5 days late, feel a bit odd, bloated etc
Thought AF had arrived on the correct day but there was only a tiny bit of brown blood (like 2 drops tiny) and nothing since.
Have done clearblue digital and clearblue normal tests on day +2 and +4 both negative.
Thought it might be my cycle starting to change due to age but I am a regular 29 day girl and always have been.
Should I try a different brand?

MadameLeBean · 25/03/2014 06:54

I didn't get a positive until 2 months pregnant .. Was going mad! DD here

Odaat · 25/03/2014 06:56

We are detective : its just sooo faint though!!

Pasta more evidence for your research trial Grin I have 3 boys and I never had a positive preg test until I was about 5 days late. That said, I'm pretty sure that I ovulate late so maybe that has something to do with it? Good luck, OP, personally I don't think preg testing is an exact science - I was certain I was preg each time but like I said, took ages to get a bfp

FamiliesShareGerms · 25/03/2014 06:59

I got negative tests until I was nearly 8 weeks gone

FourArms · 25/03/2014 07:16

Negative with DS2, but I knew without a doubt I was. How can you feel it so strongly yet not have the hormones to match, v.odd!

PastaandCheese · 25/03/2014 08:11

Well there are more DSs than DDs on this thread......!

I'm sure that pregnancy tests can only be read in first 10 minutes as the line can change after that?

I would get a first response today if you can and test with first morning wee tomorrow.

PurpleSwift · 25/03/2014 09:30

A faint line is still a line!!
I had verrrry faint lines when i tested when my period was a couple of days late. I went to the doctors and my test there came up negative.
Some tests are more sensitive that others. Clear blue are one of the least sensitive types.
When my period was about 2 weeks late i started getting strong positives and i was pregnant. :)
