Pos then Neg

[louloux]

Did a digital pregnancy test today, Asda's own, and it comes with 2 tests that you click into the reader which says yes or no. I did the first one and it said "yes" so to confirm I did the second one which came back as "no". Do you think I'm pregnant?

Echo what others have posted.
Drs aren't interested. Just do a test again and if positive then you would see midwife for booking in appt in a few weeks time.
Good luck!

Have you got a FRER yet 👀

I'm on tenterhooks!! 😍

I know, me too! X

Good luck when you test again - and agree definitely not worth wasting a GP appointment for as Drs won't do anything other than what you can do at home.

Negative again

I only had my period 3 weeks ago so maybe I should wait and try again in a week or so.

Def wait until your af is at least due - otherwise you're just going to drive yourself crazy with line eye. There is no way a test at the docs would pick anything up a week before a missed period.

Yeah, you really do need to wait I’m afraid, even if you have hcg you’ll still get a negative result if it’s not a high enough level for the test. I know it sucks!

When's best to test if my periods are irregular? Still next week would you say?

It’s hard to say because if your cycles are very long you may not even have ovulated (most women ovulate two weeks before their next period). How irregular are we talking? I’d wait until at least 4 weeks since the first day of your last period.

The gap between my last 2 was 1 month but the time before that it was 2 and half months. Never more than 3 months

Probs why I'm finding it so hard to get pregnant. Although I'm still clinging on to this positive test result, it's probably wrong though

Have you tried doing ovulation tests? That’s what I did when my cycles were all over the shop.

No I haven't actually, just lots of you know what 😂 do you get them at the chemist?

Yep, they’re quite pricey and it’s difficult if you have really irregular long cycles as you’d need to do a lot of tests each cycle, every day until you get a positive. You might find it useful to use a tracking app too.

I'd suggest ovulation tests in your situation. I have irregular and longer than average cycles and they've really helped me track what's going on. Yes you can get tests at the chemist, such as Clear Blue (expensive but very clear and pretty easy to use) or the famous 'Amazon cheapies' which do the same job but the results can be a bit more difficult to interpret sometimes. Good luck and sorry you didn't get the result you were hoping for this month.

I've had three very faint positives with clear blue then a negative with a digital test...I'm so confused...I'm due tomorrow..I've had on off spotting the last four days...anyone else had this..I'd upload a picture of the test but dunno how lol xx

Tap the little paper clip when you go to reply and it should work lovely (if you're on a phone that is).
Good luck! Xx

Jennie, digital tests require a higher level of hcg than dye tests so it’s not uncommon to get a negative digital before your period is due.

Good luck Jennie, yours seems more likely to be a positive than mine!

Hey can't post picture to this thread as I don't have the little paper clip thing to send it lol, am just so confused incase they were false negatives coz I had to squint at first to see them xxx

You sound like you need to be tracking; ovulation tests, cervical mucus, temps, clear blue fertility monitor.
