AIBU...to even contemplate this being positive

[Gettinghopesup]

So I think I may be letting what I desperately want cloud what this is actually showing. Can any of you see a faint line on the left of the test here? I keep thinking I can see a faint shadow on the test...

Apologies for yucky pictures - I wouldn’t usually share but desperately need thoughts.

Thank you

I can only see one line on each... I don't have much experience with these so don't know what that means

I can see one strong line in each window.

Blue dye tests are crap. Is that the sainsburys brand? They always left an indent line for me. Buy a pink dye test instead for a clearer result.

Thanks for looking I think you might be right and I’m just being silly.

It’s the first picture when you look up close and zoom in that I keep trying to convince myself has a faint shadow...

I see 1 horizontal line on the left and 1 vertical line on the right.

Get yourself a first response, apparently the pink due test is easier to see. Are you late?

One line in each window. Does that mean positive? They're pretty strong lines if that's what we're looking for.

I can only see one line each sorry

It is Sainsbury’s- I think it is an indent line now you’ve mentioned it- feeling very silly

You're not being silly, I know what it's like being desperate for a positive.

I can see what you mean however I think it's negative, is your period late yet?

Hi OP, you say you think you can see a faint shadow but the images I'm seeing show a clear line in both windows so not sure the advice you'll get here will be helpful. Perhaps try a pink dye test (I didn't know one was better than the other) as PP suggested and wait a few days. I hope you get the result you want.

I can see a faint second line on the first picture but nothing on the second.

Periods are very disordered and infrequent so hard to judge whether missed one.

I had all the usual symptoms (bloated, nauseous, sore boobs) so thought I should check.

Thanks for all your help ladies- think you are all right and it’s negative- just got to keep plodding I guess...

Ps it’s a vertical line that would mean positive for those asking

I’d buy a pink dye test to help you know for sure. Good luck xx

For those saying it looks like 2 string lines: with that kind of test you always get a horizontal line in the left-hand window, you need a vertical line there as well to make it positive (so it makes a + not a - symbol).

I see what you mean OP but it’s so faint and those tests are buggers for showing indents. Definitely try a pink dye test.

Is it one of these?

You need a pink dye test like a FRER.

I can see something v faint but you’d need a FRER to know.

I can see a very feint vertical line in the first pic. Defo run out and buy a FRER though.

I feel you with the disordered periods OP. I was 8 weeks pregnant with my first before I even noticed I was late for my period.

Those test don't look positive to me, I'm sorry :( But I do advise you to get on amazon and buy a bulk pack of the cheap ovulation tests. Take one every morning and tape them on a piece of paper in order. That way you'll know when you actually ovulated and have a better idea of when your period was meant to be. That's what helped me on my second go at it :)

Don't feel silly! I only asked because I've been fooled by the indent twice. I still don't think it's conclusively a no, get yourself a pink dye test like First Response.
