Faint positive or imagining things?

Hi Guys,

So I had my son almost 11 months ago now and been on nexplanon for 6 months. The past week or so I've been extremely tired, overly hungry and my boobs have been mega sore. I did a test earlier and I could see the faintest of faint lines. Could be an indent but I've attached a picture to see what you guys think. It's in black and White to make it easier to see. TIA

So the saga continues. over a month later, several more faint positives, although they have been getting stronger. Two negative blood tests and the doctors think I'm insane. I went to see my gp again on Tuesday this week and she did a urine of test there. The strip hadn't even finished developing before she told me it was negative, she brought it over for me to look and I could see a second line developing but she disregarded what I said and threw it away. She did a urine dipstick to check for it's etc and she said there was protein in my urine and gave me antibiotics. She's convinced the protein in my urine is what are giving me faint positives. I doubt very much I'd be standing if I'd had a UTI 4 weeks ago . I've taken the antibiotics for the full three days and low and behold I'm still getting faint positives! The reason I went to the doctors is because I was having stomach pains and my period didn't arrive. I think I'm gonna take myself down to a and e tomorrow and mention the faint positive and the stomach pain to see if they will do anything to investigate further.

A&E won’t do anything. They are for accidents and emeegencies and whilst your situation is frustrating, it is neither of those things so please don’t waste their time or yours.
Blood tests are difinitive so if they are negative then you aren’t pregnant no matter what the tests say.

What you could suggest to the GP is a referral to gynaecology to find out why you haven’t got your period.
And also book a private scan because if you believe the tests then you would be a good 7-8 weeks pregnant and it would show clearly on a scan.

A&E has no place here though.
