Thoughts on these squinters

[emvy]

Bit of back story - mmc at the beginning of march (surgical management). Two af since - one on day 30, the other on day 28. Then this month, no af. I'm now on cycle day 35. I took a test on Saturday with a non-sensitive test that was barely readable. On Monday, I took the top photo and this morning, the bottom photo. The levels are not getting darker. I'm a mess. I'm convinced this isn't viable but my symptoms are going crazy. I can't believe that it's not showing up more!

Basically, what are your good experiences of having had bfn's or super squinters for days? Has anyone had any experiences of getting a pregnancy off the ground with a result like mine or one where bfn's were showing for a while?

Booking a blood test later I just need some positive stories to help get me through the day please

Hi OP

My first pregnancy I had bfns for ages and then one day the test said pregnant. I went with a digital one in the end because I was giving myself eye strain.

Get yourself a digital one and give your your eyes a rest!

Good luck op!

Ps I can definitely see a line!
Tentative congrats!

Thanks cheeky. So pleased your bfn's showed as bfp in the end. My hesitation to test with a digital is that they test higher levels of hcg whereas the ones I've used above test levels of 10. If I'm barely getting a result with those then surely it'll just say negative on a digital?

I just don't trust these tests at all 🙁 can you take a different test? FRER?

I know how you feel OP but if you're pregnant, you're pregnant - the type of test you use won't change that, it should just make it easier to know one way or the other.

Good luck

Get yourself an FRER - those tests are rubbish. I saw another thread recently that barely had even a squinter on those yet a clear as day line on an FRER. Fingers crossed for you op.

I'd tentatively say they're positive. Recommend the superdrug ones for clarity. As you say the digital ones may not be reliable this early on.

Those are Superdrug ones. Almost bought frer's yesterday. Will maybe buy some frer's and an early detection cb later and test in a few days. Thank you so much for all your responses. I'm pretty sure they're positive right now it's just whether the levels are increasing to know if it's viable. Which I understand the only way to know is to get a blood test. I guess I will just be in limbo for a while longer.

When I fell pregnant with ds, no joke I must have poas 15 times before it showed up positive! And even then my dh wasn't convinced he could see anything. I was certain I was pregnant so just kept poas until it agreed with me! He's 3 now btw

I've always used cb digitals when I've got my bfps (last time 5-6 days before af was due) so it might work!

Thank you so much for your response short, that made me feel better I guess I just have to sit tight!

Thanks green. I checked the packet yesterday and they test levels of 25 so I'll be waiting a little bit to use one of those but will hopefully get around to using it by next week, fingers crossed!

Unfortunately the dr wasn't interested in giving me a blood test so I'll just keep poas!

Update. Took this, this afternoon. Not even fmu but I wasn't having much luck with them! Feeling like I can begin to settle into this pregnancy now. Yay for my first non-squinter!
