Confused - positive or not?

[roarsomemama]

Hi,

This is my first time posting but I have been a long time lurker!

I got home from work today feeling bloated and crampy so decided to do a pregnancy test.

I did 3 IC tests and they seem to have a line on them but the first response test doesn't :( I am not getting my hopes up as it would be too lucky as I haven't had a period in 160 days!

Could you please help me clear this up?

Thanks :)

Perhaps the Internet cheapies are more sensitive?

Do you have any more tests?

Personally I'd say you're pregnant!

Those internet cheapies are flooded and as such, not to be trusted. Did you wee in a pot and dip?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply :)

I have more ic tests and a clear blue digi but I am reluctant to use that until I see something on a different one (they are so expensive!). I will get buy a few different ones tomorrow...

Patience is a virtue I suppose :(

I did dip yes, only for 5secs though. I didn't realise they could get flooded. Thanks, I will just wait until tomorrow and try again.

They usually get flooded when you try and wee on them. Dipping should prevent that but it can happen.

They do look like they're picking up hcg and it is entirely possible that they're just more sensitive than the first response.

Wait until tomorrow, do another test and see where you are. Or another 493 tests like I did.

Fingers crossed. I know how tough it is to wait. Best of luck.

Did you test again OP?

I tested this morning and they were all negative :( must have been flooded, tried not to get hopes up but didn't stop me from having baby dreams all night and now super disappointed.

Thank you everyone for your help :)
