Cryptic pregnancy, positive test at 5 months

[PrettyPleaseXo]

Im sure I’m being silly but I’m terrified, shaking and crying and need some reassurance. I last had sex 5 months ago, I’ve had periods ever since albeit a little later than usual but still every month.
this month I’m 10 days late so brought a PG test on a whim and this came up immediately although as it’s so faint I’m thinking it can’t be a positive as surely if I was five months it would be darker?

Just to clarify I’m not going to be going to A&E I’ll come back and update the thread once I’ve had blood test results x

Wrong again, see I absolutely was one of those 'not booked in women' who miscarried (also multiple times, since you brought it up) and yet I was sent to EPU for scans, twice, whilst not having been booked in and not being pregnant because, you know, miscarriage. There isn't a 'Miscarriage Unit' so it's EPU in those circumstances, even if not pregnant.

Sadly many miscarriages occur before women reach booking in.

Good luck for Thursday. Hope you get some clear answers xx

That’s so confusing, I hope you’re able to get some answers soon!

how did it go OP?

You’ve just reminded me to update! Both HCG and FSH came back negative so I’m thrilled there’s no pregnancy or menopause. Thank you so much everyone ❤️

I'm so glad you got an outcome you're happy with!

@PrettyPleaseXo Phew! Good news. Glad you got the outcome you wanted.

No, not wrong again. EPU, E for EARLY. Not accurate for someone who would be 6 months pregnant! And no miscarriage either.....

SO, OP is not, as was obvious, pregnant. And so, as I said, neither A&E or the EPU/Maternity unit was at all appropriate for her to go.

Glad you got the outcome you wanted. Those pregnancy tests should be banned, all the worry they cause!

I've had a faint false positive on nearly every tesco test I've ever taken. They are notorious.

Pleased for you @PrettyPleaseXo

And @whatnot929 you have a nice day.
