Could I be pregnant?!

livsmommy · 18/04/2019 15:25

Period two days late - normally very regular. Been trying for number 2 for 5 years unsuccessfully. Currently trying to lose weight in order to have private IVF. Took a clearblue digital this morning, pregnant 1-2!! Took the other from the same pack a couple of hours later, not pregnant 😟 anyone have any experience of this? Could it be I am pregnant but so early the later test was wrong? I know there’s nothing I can do either way and I’ll test again tomorrow, but this a new kind of hell 😕

If he brings a FR then I'd still try today, just try not to drink loads.

rabbitheadlights · 18/04/2019 16:12

constantly needing the loo = good sign 😄

General0rgana · 18/04/2019 16:13

Holding your wee won't make it more concentrated! You won't reabsorb the water once it's got to your bladder. (And if it refluxes back to your kidney you're in a different world of trouble!)

Morning wee is more concentrated because the kidneys slow their action overnight (it's controlled by a hormone - which is why you can't rush night dryness in children), so less water is excreted and so the concentration of HCG is higher then.

So holding your wee won't do anything than make you uncomfortable.

No first response in the supermarket 😕 he’s bringing clearblue. I’m so frustrated! Keep telling myself I wouldn’t just get a random positive for no reason surely?! I called my GP straight away after the positive as certain meds I need to change, and told two of my sisters. I wish I had kept my mouth shut now as feel I have tempted fate 😟

pinkpushchairs · 18/04/2019 16:24

Good luck OP

Milkmachine15 · 18/04/2019 16:25

Take the test apart and have a look at the actual strip!

MyDcAreMarvel · 18/04/2019 16:25

Holding your wee won't make it more concentrated! yes it will.

RChick · 18/04/2019 16:26

Good luck. But definitely ask him to try a few chemists for First Response tests

livsmommy · 18/04/2019 16:35

Took the not pregnant apart and this is what the strip looks like?! Was a couple of hours ago though?

My understanding with the digital is there's two strips inside, one blank and one with a control line. If you see an additional two lines (one of each) you're pregnant, but the result isn't strong enough yet to convert to a digital reading. Mine said not pregnant despite first response being a positive. I took it apart and had lines like your photos. Two days later the digital confirmed pregnant. It's looking good, keeping my fingers crossed for you.

rabbitheadlights · 18/04/2019 16:44

that is a positive !!!!

Milkmachine15 · 18/04/2019 16:50

Yes!!! Congratulations Flowers!!

PyongyangKipperbang · 18/04/2019 16:51

I have been pregnant many times (most didnt stick sadly) and I have never trusted the digital ones until I am at least a week late. They are so hit and miss. I personally rate the first response ones but any test that you have to read yourself is better than the digital ones imo.

Good luck, but it certainly sounds like you are pg to me!

PyongyangKipperbang · 18/04/2019 16:51

Oh and I wouldnt be able to wait until tomorrow either! I should have bought shares in clearblue 20 years ago :o

CustardCreamLover · 18/04/2019 16:52

Good luck OP! I had a false negative when I was pregnant but I've not heard of false positives!! 🍀

Hahaha88 · 18/04/2019 16:56

It sounds (and looks) like you are pregnant to me. Pink dye tests are said to be more reliable than blue but that deconstructed test looks positive to me 🤞🤞🤞 for you

pinkpushchairs · 18/04/2019 17:01

This is what the inside of my digital test looked like when I was getting 1-2 weeks OP. I'd say yours looks positive.
