Hi there can anyone help?

Last saturday i done a superdrug preg test which showed up neg with just one strong purple line in the round circle.I decided to do another this morning (first wee of the day) and on the test showed one line pretty strong on the circle again but on the square there is a very faint line which you can see when you hold it up into the light.At first i thought it was my eyes but more i looked im sure of it.My periods are always all over the place my last was in dec around the 7th i think and i had sex on new yrs eve/newyrs day. Can anyone help?
many thanks Confused

I'm in completelty the same boat as you muddypaws (except I want a BFP). I've had 2 tests with lines so faint, I think it might just be the shadow of where the line should go. I did a clear blue digital test, and it said Not Pregnant, although it says you should test on the first day of your missed period, so it must be less sensitive than First Response.
I guess we'll just have to try again tomorrow and see what it says.
I hope things work out for you (what ever the result).

Yeah! I'm with you...I just want to know..YES or NO! It sounds like this wait might be a good thing for you though, if its made you realise that you might want a baby afterall. What's your situation? Are you in a relationship?

I'm a few years older than you, just turned 29. I'm a newly wed, and my husband and I have been "not trying, but not trying not to" since we got married (but last month it turned more into trying). Tested again this morning (AT 4AM COS I COULDN'T SLEEP!!!)- I got the same faint line- and now all the tests have a stronger line, but apparently you can't look at them past the time limit.

yeah i was awake until got 4am was sat up at 3am with a bloody cupa soup in bed :/ bad times lol

aww congrats on the wed i hope it all works out for you!

I was talking to my friend this morning who is pregnant and she said she would always read her test after the test starts to dry as the colour (if any) will try and you can see it better??

i looked at my tests again this morn and there is defo colour on each that you can see.
im going to re-test again tomorrow morning i was going to today but thought be strong and wait.i just feel soooooo tired :(

with your tests you said they have a stronger line? do you mean the ones you have done already? x

Yeah, the old tests in the bin all had a line- but I did take a fresh one this morning, and that had a more visible line on it- so am less confused now. I must be testing too early.
I must admit, I've gone a little test crazy over these last couple of days. So much so, that the guy at Superdrug has started to recognise me!!! I've spent an absolute fortune too. I'd hate to think what sort of profit these companies make on each test.

i cant understand why it seems to take awhile to show up do you think it is because we are testing to early cuz when they are left to dry it does seem to show up more so surely if we didnt have any hcg (think thats the word) then it wouldnt make a coloured line at all right?
aww thats quite funny the guy will know you buy name soon hehe bless ya.which of the superdrug tests are you using?i got the pinky pack with the two tests in dont know if there any good but hey :/ i refuse to spend alot thats why im waiting a couple of days at a time but i know how you feel all you wanna do is test away!

I've used everybrand this week. Got my firt 'hint' of a line with a Clearblue test (the one with the cross), then tried Clear blue digital (and got a -ve response), then tried First Response and now I'm using the Superdrug pink pack with 2 tests in it. The superdrug one seems to be as sensitive as the others, the CB digital seems to be the least sensitive.

Georgimama · 23/01/2011 08:39

I've always found all brands, from the two quid wilkos jobs to the super expensive £15 clearblue digital the same in accuracy. You need to be late and you need to use your first wee of the day to get a definitive, clear result. You can get a clear result at any time of the day, but to get a result you can be sure of, you need early morning wee.

well i done anoher test first thing again had a very faint line appear but come up about half hr after i just dont know i wanna forget about it but its not that easy.i may try one of the digi tests do you think its worth a shot? ninunina let know if you get a faint line with s-drug 2pack after the 10min mark? cuz thats the ones im using.x

Ninunina · 23/01/2011 21:05

Hi muddypaws, I've been getting a faint line with the superdrug ones, but it comes up after 2/3 minutes or so. The line does get stronger with time, but its there within the time frame. Do you see anything at all in the first 10 minutes? Try again in a couple of days (if you can resist the tempation). If the line is faint on the superdrug ones, I doubt the digital test will test positive just yet.

Heya, I'm still doing 1 test a day, and each day they seem to be a bit stronger, and come up a bit quicker. I've booked an appointment to see my GP on Friday. I've got quite a few symptons now. I'm feeling progessively more sick everyday, and today my boobs pretty much doubled in size over the span of a few hours.

I'm pretty sure you're pregnant, probably a few days less than me. How are you feeling about it now that its starting to sink in?

ModelMom · 25/01/2011 22:15

Hi Ninunina what symptoms were you having prior to your bfp? xxxx

Ninunina · 26/01/2011 19:51

Hi ModelMom, my first symptom was nausea from the day before I got the faintest hint of a line last Thursday. I also had a slightly sore breasts.

ModelMom · 26/01/2011 22:12

Any sign of a bfp yet hun x
