Odd test result HELP!

[Actorgirl3]

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!

[WhingyNinja]

Take another one tomorrow just to make sure but I see a line in your clear blue test! Congratulations!

[Actorgirl3]

Thanks so much everyone! I'm in total shock don't know what to do with myself!!! We're supposed to be going for fertility tests next week!! So should I wait until tomorrow to do more tests??

[sizethree]

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

[SirVixofVixHall]

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.

[YouSay]

Congratulations! Great news.

[blueskyinmarch]

Looks like a positive to me. Congratulations.

[GruffaloPants]

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

[Actorgirl3]

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!

[thebabydances]

Definitely positive. Congratulations!!!

[GruffaloPants]

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.

[Actorgirl3]

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!!

[GruffaloPants]

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).

[Actorgirl3]

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!

[firesidechat]

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

[firesidechat]

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

[Coldest]

Clear line still there! :D

[BiftasWifta]

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

[Actorgirl3]

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 😂

[WellErrr]

Congratulations!!!

They are definitely positive.

[gumdropss]

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]

You're definitely pregnant OP Congratulations

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]

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 😂

Yep definitely pregnant. Congratulations!

[Actorgirl3]

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

[pieceofpurplesky]

Congratulations

[fruityb]

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!
