I can't see one, sorry Sad

Rabbishes · 11/02/2015 13:57

I can't see a line at all. I'd wait a few days and test again.

MrsDermotOLeary · 11/02/2015 13:57

You should try again in the morning though. Maybe use a more sensitive test?

FightOrFlight · 11/02/2015 14:04

I can see a faint line but not sure if that's the picture quality or even if that's where the line is supposed to be!

Is that the line between the dippy bit and the actual test stick though? Usually the line is much closer to the control line. Sorry.

Sorry, I can't see it. It would be about 1/2 way between where you've drawn and the control line.
If you tip the test in day light at eye level you'll see a different texture to the strip where the line would be. (Previous testing squinty insanity).
Do test again in a few days though. That is very late.
I've had a negative test today too. Join me in cake? Cake

Rosieliveson · 11/02/2015 14:19

Sorry, I can't see a line. Do you use ovulation sticks too?
Just a thought as my cycle is very irregular. The ovulation sticks help me to work out if/how late I am so I don't get my hopes up.

Showy · 11/02/2015 14:20

If you are usually a few days late does this not mean you have a longer cycle than you are assuming? It was your use of the word usually that threw me. What do you mean by irregular?

juniorcakeoff · 11/02/2015 14:20

The line on those ones is normally closer to the control line. Is there a reason for your irregular periods?

Lonelynessie · 11/02/2015 14:21

I can see a very very faint line, so I don't think yabu. But definitely re test as it is very faint.

Aherdofmims · 11/02/2015 14:22

I can see a faint line.

I've only ever had a faint line for either pregnancy.

But that may mean nothing in your case.

Im not actually TTC Sad a BFP would be an accident but as I got later and later I stupidly got my hopes up, I have not really tracked my periods properly since I had DD 7 months ago, I just know my last period started on christmas eve

I can see a line/mark in your circle but it looks like it might be a fold or just a dip mark. But I find those test impossible to use.

Try a different test! I had those and my bfp was so faint I thought I was seeing things! I wasn't! Good luck x

PrimalLass · 11/02/2015 14:25

I can see it.

FightOrFlight · 11/02/2015 14:34

Having seen the back of the box the line I could see looks too far away from the control (and is too thin)

Pantone363 · 11/02/2015 14:39

I can see the faintest of faint lines.

Sidge · 11/02/2015 14:39

The "line" that Fight has marked isn't a line, it's the overlap edge of the paper strip on the test strip. We use those strips at work.

If there was a positive line it would be closer to the test line, and if you are 21 days late for your period and pregnant you would have a proper positive result, assuming a 4-5 week cycle.

sparechange · 11/02/2015 14:44

I can see a line, but it is where the test goes from thick to thin rather than being where the bfp line would be
Good luck if you test again

chinstrappenguin · 11/02/2015 14:51

Think you need to buy a more sensitive test. A digital one would leave you in no date. I would expect a very strong line for 21 days late. Although if your periods are irregular you may not be as late as you think.

chinstrappenguin · 11/02/2015 14:51

Doubt not date - fat fingers!
