I brought some on monday thinking they would be here on tuesday, so first thing tuesday morning i got a urine sample ready but they didnt turn up. They eventually came yesterday and i thought i would try one in the day old urine anyway! Well that came up bfn but then i took another later on that day and there was a faint line after 5 minutes that dried a pinky colour. I still wasnt convinced so i took another first thing this morning and again a faint line. Its very very very faint but is still quite clearly noticable. But is v v v vv faint, so im not sure what to believe. I'm going to take it as a bfn for now but am wondering if anyone has had these v v v v v faint lines and actually been pg or whether they are evap lines. Im very confused and still half asleep so sorry if ive rambled on

hang fire!!!!!

now i have done a digital one and it says"not pregnant"

pulled it out and there are two lines though........it was an old cartridge thing... grrrrrr now not sure

pipsqueeke · 19/07/2007 09:52

did you reuse the cartridge? is it possible that one's out of date? perhaps ther's not enough hormones in your pee? no reason to panic jsut yet.

jeez · 19/07/2007 09:54

yes - the test bit looks quite strong ish - have long cycle so unsure of dates

iliketosleep · 19/07/2007 10:10

all the cb digital test strips have lines on them so you cant really go by them. If the lines on the other tests were faint then you do not have enough hcg. CBD are 50miu whereas normal are around 25ish so no worries your prob just to early for a digital!!

iliketosleep · 19/07/2007 10:16

ok that message confused me!! the cbd test strips have lines on wether you are pg or not. Because as far as im aware they test for other things aswell as hcg or something lol i dunno

will keep fingers crossed for you honney. really hoping it's a pos. I didn't know CB had lines either way - this time I showed a pos but took it apart to see if the line was weak etc and it was really really strong.

I had the same experience with Clear Blue. Had got a faint line with a cheapo so rushed out to buy a Clear Blue which came back saying not pregnant. When I pulled the cartridge out there was a v faint line. Waited until the next morning and tried Clear Blue again and it came up saying pregnant straight away. I was told that the urine dilutes as the day goes on so sometimes they are not accurate

wendyredhead · 19/07/2007 15:48

Me too!!! Just literally now got my faint line on a cheapie internet but I just KNOW I'm pregnant. Congrats us both!

pipsqueeke · 19/07/2007 15:50
