I'm now 4 days late for AF and after a negative PT 3 days ago I did another yesterday morning only to just about throw in the bin when I saw a very faint line... didn't get time to buy a better quality test before my night shift to see if it was true so did another a few hours later of the same cheap amazon ones and this time I think I see a bit more of a line? I'm going crazy wondering on my shift that I though I'd put the question out there... has anyone else had this with cheap stick tests only to not be BFP? I'm a pretty regular 28 day cycle and today is CD32... hmmm

Hiya,

So I had my implant out on the 28/06 and had sex a few days prior to that. My periods have been messed up from the implant and my last cycle was May! I’ve been feeling awful lately- lower back pain, stomach cramps, really tired so did a test. I did one that afternoon and very faint second line, did one the next morning with s more distinct line but did a couple this morning and come back negative.

Anyone have any advice please? I feel a bit all over the place Confused

Tiel can you check the packaging to see how sensitive the tests are? They tend to be 10 / 15 / 20 / 25. With 25 being the least sensitive. I used 10's on the cheapy sticks I got off amazon and they showed a line but with a coop one it was completely blank! No line at all! They are 25ml/u so u might want to check that. It's misleading really as they all say 'test up to 5 days before missed AF' however frer is really the only one that really can proclaim this. Have you tried a frer? (First response early results) also can you post pics of your tests?

Thank you! I’ll have a look on the packaging :) yeah I did a clear blue and it was negative, that was rubbish 🙄 yeah I’ll try and post pics :)

Tiel1996 · 02/08/2018 15:21

Also how do you upload pictures? Haha

You just click on the paper clip icon to upload a picture from your phone or computer. Clear blue I think are often not very sensitive! I got a FRER and highly recommend.

I can’t find the paper clip button anywhere. The tests I did were the cheap ones from Asda. Freedom they’re called! Just frustrating getting a couple positives and then negatives! Also I didn’t even know it was possible! We had sex a few days before my implant come out and they did say you wouldn’t be covered a week before or a week after removal. But even so, I haven’t had a period since May 😑

Just seen on another thread that those freedom tests can be faulty. Have you tried any other brands

Does your screen not look like this? The paper clip is the one bottom middle

No my screen is only the emoji face and the italic writing button. The freedom ones were the ones I had positives on, other tests I’ve used have been negative
