Odd test result HELP!

Ok I'm due on today but nothing happened so I thought I'd take a test, it's a strange result, the horizontal line is there but there is another line but it's not vertical like a plus sign, it's diagonal?! The picture isn't very clear HELP!

Exactly what my test looked like! Sitting here feeding my 6 month old DD. Congratulations! X

SirVixofVixHall · 29/04/2016 13:24

The lines are there on every test, so you are clearly preggers. I know the sense of disbelief though, I think i did six tests in all because I couldn't quite take it in!!
Oh and congratulations. Smile Flowers

Congratulations! Great news.

blueskyinmarch · 29/04/2016 14:51

Looks like a positive to me. Congratulations.

GruffaloPants · 29/04/2016 17:14

Ah congratulations. That is definitely positive. Don't think you need test again, unless you want to of course.

Morning all here's today's test, not sure it the line is any stronger? 15dpo, feeling absolutely exhausted, not sure if that's a symptom or just the anticipation of all of this!

Definitely positive. Congratulations!!!

GruffaloPants · 30/04/2016 07:22

You are pregnant, congratulations! Don't end up torturing yourself over line strengths etc. it looks stronger today, but other days it may look lighter. Doesn't mean anything is wrong.

I asked two pharmacists yesterday, one said definitely positive, the other said it would have been a strong line if I was pregnant not sure I agree!!

OP posts:
GruffaloPants · 30/04/2016 08:16

Weird response from the second pharmacist! That line is a lot darker than mine for this pregnancy. I'm 24 weeks with a massive wriggly bump, definitely pregnant!

The coloured line is created by a reaction between HCG in your urine and the test pad. HCG is there because you are pregnant. No HCG = no coloured line, not even a faint one (unless on certain fertility drugs etc).

Yeah that's what I said but she said there coul just be a rise of hormones just because my period is late, I think she's talking rubbish!

Exhaustion was my first symptom. It's looking good.

firesidechat · 30/04/2016 08:21

I think she's talking rubbish too. It's testing for pregnancy hormones and there is definitely a line there.

Coldest · 30/04/2016 08:25

Clear line still there! :D

BiftasWifta · 30/04/2016 08:26

That line is exactly the same as my positive first response - congratulations!

Plus my boobs are unbareable I said to my husband if he so much as looks at them I might punch him in the face 😂

Congratulations!!! Flowers

They are definitely positive.

gumdropss · 30/04/2016 08:43

Congratulations! I recently found out I was pregnant after a similar length of time TTC. My first test had a very faint line too and I just couldn't believe that I was pregnant. I had become so used to seeing one lonely line on the test!

missybct · 30/04/2016 08:46

You're definitely pregnant OP Flowers Congratulations Grin

Agree with PP - try not to get wrapped up in strength of lines - the hormone that binds to the tests (hcg) rises differently for everybody, and it totally causes unnecessary panic.

firesidechat · 30/04/2016 09:27

Yep definitely pregnant. Congratulations!

Thanks so much everyone, still totally in denial, 18 months of 1 lonely line! Won't believe it's really until I go to the doctor which is at 8 weeks so 4 more weeks of waiting!!! X

fruityb · 30/04/2016 10:19

Same symptoms as me at that point and I can see positives there! We were two years trying so I feel you! Congratulations and enjoy!
