AIBU to even think that I could actually BE pregnant and the test was right after all?

I am undergoing fertility treatment, not due to take my test until Friday (had to wait 2 weeks and 2 days). However I have felt so helpless that I caved and bought 2 tests.

Pink dye test from B&M - cheap at 2 for £1, then one clear blue.

I got a very very faint line on my clear blue but a negative on my pink one.

I am in a group on Facebook for people undergoing IU and IVF and the majority said that Clear blue tests are notorious for false positives and a web search does confirm this.

One minute I feel heartbroken, then the next I think "I could be!"

I am too scared to test again until Friday as I am happier not knowing for sure, than getting another negative :(

Anyone have experience of mixed results on certain pregnancy tests?

Hi OP,

Keeping fingers crossed it's positive for you! If it helps, Clear Blue showed positive for me when other tests were negative, first test looked very similar to your first. I am pregnant so Clear Blue was in the right!

Best of luck Flowers

Those sevond pics arent even squinters, theres definately lines there! So excited for you! Have you told your DP yet?

WarshipWarrior · 24/09/2019 14:59

I wish people wouldn't get the OPs Hope's up it's really unkind. Theres positive "I hope you get the positive you want" etc but to say "I can definitely see lines - tell your DP etc" is unkind when shes been told not to test til Friday and shes going through treatment which can cause false positives etc.

Hi Warship, I have tested out the trigger so I know that has left but I do understand your concerns.

@OpiesOldLady DP does know about this mornings test but we are both being a little tentative as we know a FRER will be more accurate.

See, I’m in the camp of what’s the point in waiting and daily or several daily tests helps see if there’s a line getting darker or weaker to prepare myself. Good luck!

WarshipWarrior · 24/09/2019 15:38

God I sound miserable sorry OP!! good luck x

thankgoodnessforeurope · 24/09/2019 15:45

Good luck!!!

HeadLikeAFuckinOrange · 24/09/2019 17:07

All of those tests look positive to me.
Good luck OP, everything crossed for you! 🤞

TheDarkPassenger · 24/09/2019 17:52

placemarking... you’ve made me excited lmao!

Likethebattle · 24/09/2019 18:06

Fingers crossed. I was told you can’t get a false positive as it is detecting the pregnancy hormone. I hope it’s positive and I hope if it is you have a really healthy pregnancy and a happy, healthy baby.

grandmasterstitch · 24/09/2019 18:12

God luck OP, the wait is the hardest part

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 24/09/2019 18:14

Good luck

basicbitch16 · 24/09/2019 18:14

Keeping everything tightly crossed!! Xx

Buggeredpelvicfloor2013 · 24/09/2019 18:17

Ah good luck OP, look positive to me 😊

Vegasdreaming27 · 24/09/2019 18:33

My first cycle of IVF worked and my son is now almost 3 so it can happen, I was 36 at the time. Fingers crossed for you.

youarenotkiddingme · 24/09/2019 18:40

Best of luck. I cannot imagine how people feel in this situation but I always send positive (hormones!) thoughts their way. Thanks

YouthGoneMild · 24/09/2019 18:52

Without the IVF I’d definitely say that all the tests you’ve posted are positive. No doubt.

With the IVF I don’t know enough to say either way. I do hope you get the positive you want Flowers

Mikewazowskismrs · 24/09/2019 19:10

Good luck I remember the feeling well 🤞🏼

Vilanelle · 24/09/2019 20:05

Tonight's FRER as promised!
