'Not a negative but not a positive' HELP!

Went for a smear test two days ago. Asked if there's a chance I could be pregnant and there is (although have been TTC for 18 months so unlikely). She said lets do a test just in case. She did those cheap GP ones, came up with one strong line and one faint. She said ooh I'm not sure I can't say it's a positive or a negative sort of things. Enough that id say not to do the smear test. Wait a week and test again. Has this ever happened to anyone?? Obviously going out of my mind. not wanting to get excited as I thought it's always pretty clear its either a yes or a no! Help talk me down!

That sounds like a positive to me.
Nip to the shops and buy another one.....
Good luck!!!

Agreed. Get thee to a shop and buy a shit load 🙊

IckleWicklePumperNickle · 13/12/2016 09:37

Can you do a test yourself to check?
FX for you.

I used those tests when I found out I was pregnant. Any second line is a positive as far as I know

OvariesForgotHerPassword · 13/12/2016 09:39

POAS! It sounds promising :)

Gah! So scared of getting a negative though and having spent money on a test! She gave me a free one to do in a week Grin

Poundland, b and m, home bargains all do cheap tests for a quid! Even superdrug do some for less than a fiver. If it's showing on a cheap strip test from GP it should show on those.

Pound shops do tests, it's not exactly a huge outlay! I got my first positive on a pound shop test.

Buildthemup · 13/12/2016 09:46

But I'm only a couple of days late. So if I'm making the outlay shouldn't I go for one of those early response ones?

DO the free one now. If you are late and you've already had a faint line chances are you will get a line again! x

ProbablyMe · 13/12/2016 09:55

If there was a line at all then it's positive as the test has detected HCG which is only produced when pregnant.

Buildthemup · 13/12/2016 10:17

Also surely the nice would know about this kind of thing and if it meant I was she'd say I was??!

Ok. Wait a week then and don't test. Smile

Being annoying!!! Grin just been trying for SO long

Just get one of those clear blue digital. They're brilliant, will put your mind at rest and, if you are PG you can start being aware of your diet and personal health. I'm assuming if you're TTC you're already taking folic acid? Good luck!

Buildthemup · 13/12/2016 14:25

Ah!!! Faint line!!! That means it is right????

OP posts:
janiPop · 13/12/2016 14:28

Yes it's right! A second line will only appear if the test detects hcg. Congratulations! Xmas Grin
