I know of people who were in the same boat as myself and they were indeed pregnant. But if that were the case, would all tests come up neg and not just 2?

any faint positive is positive.
It doesn't matter if a second test doesn't show it, that just means that the hormones were a but lower at that point.

positive is positive. A faint positive isn't a maybe, it is a positive.

Any faint positive within the time and you are pregnant!

I remember testing around 6 ish days before AF. The test was 'negative' initially and I dumped it in the bin and forgot about it for all of, oooh, 20 minutes. Grin Anyway I pulled it from the bin and saw the faintest of the faintest second line. I stared at it thinking I have Line Eyes but it was there. Another test two days later came up absolutley positive. Hang in there and test again in two days chick.
The stringy mucus is misleading. I used to get it before my period. I also got it with my BFP, however, I noticed it when I was around 9 ish weeks onwards and not in the immediate new days of a BFP.

This must be costing you a fortune. In the nicest possible way, step away from the tests, leave it a few days and see if AF turns up. Then you can test again when the results are less likely to be so marginal. Good luck!

Have to wait a week for blood test. So I'll test again Sunday

If you waited 30mins-1hr for the lines to come up they are most likely evaps. Only look at the test within the right amount of time or you will drive yourself mad. I hope you get the result you want.

4 DPAF. Still no AF. Tests coming up very faint but I want to wait it out until Sunday so that its 8DPAF and can give me a more accurate result. Feel so weepy today too. And want to go home and sleep.:(

I know it's hard but I think you need to wait until Sunday when you get your blood test results. No good can come of you taking more tests now. I hope you get the result you want. x

TheCatsMother99 · 30/09/2015 19:23

I agree with the others, although the wait is clearly killing you, you might as well wait a few more days now as you'll just get yourself more worked up otherwise.

Will keep FX for you.

My mother doesn't like the fact I am in uni and am possibly pregnant with my second child.

If you are getting repeated apparent faint tests not getting any darker, either you are just seeing evaporation lines (this can happen on some tests, just because one did and one did not show it, is irrelevant) Any test that shows anything after the time (normally 10 mins) means nothing.

Or it is possible that it is a chemical pregnancy, and failing. Or an ectopic pregnancy and fluctuating low level hcg.

A faint positive test a week ago or a few days ago, should show up clearly by now. This does not indicate a pregnancy progressing as it should.

It sounds like you are keen to be pregnant, so I would prepare yourself for the probability that you are not, or that it may not be a successful pregnancy. (hopefully I will be proved wrong, if it is what you want) Flowers

No period is a good sign tho isn't it? I get my blood results today so it might just be taking longer to come through or I have ovulated late xxx

KitKat1985 · 02/10/2015 11:27

What time do you get your results gabrielle1201? Oh and I think you may need to distance yourself from your Mum for a few days - insisting you take more tests doesn't sound very helpful for you right now.

Well they did then yesterday and I was told that if I ask after 2pm I may get a result today. So it's just a waiting game now x

If not, I have to wait until Monday. But I am having very bad headaches which I never get and nausea is increasing. Ughhh.

Have you taken a first response test since? clear blue are awful I got negatives for ages then did a cheap Internet £1 one and got positive and still negative clear blue then a week later my clear blue worked I must have been 2-3 weeks overdue my period! That was my last pregnancy. Hang in there I'm the exact same I'm now 4 days late my period and must have taken 10+ pregnancy tests and all negative only really cheap ones luckily but I'm gonna buy a first response on Monday. X
