Just taken the test apart. There is a very faint pink line?. Granted this is now after 10 minutes but I've just read a lot of how ladies find they are pregnant after randomly looking at their initially negative tests that have then changed to faint/positive, and if the line is pink/blue rather than grey or nothing, they've found they're pregnant days later and the test had just taken longer to pick up the small amount of hormone. Thoughts? It's pink! But very faint. Or...am I really crazy? X

There's definitely a line but it looks grey to me, and if it's after 10 minutes and you've taken the test apart I don't think you can put any stock into it in afraid. Get a FRER and try again when you're due on.

Thanks peachgreen. It just looked pinky to me. The part most prominent is from the bottom up and it looks pink, more so in person too. Fooling myself maybe!

Also this was a FRER? X

Unfortunately FRER are invalid once you take them apart as when the air gets to the strip it can make a line appear when there wasn't one before

Looks like the start of a line in the first picture.

When is af due? It might be too early

How many dpo are you? I can see a line in the first picture

peachgreen · 07/08/2019 21:14

I don't think you're fooling yourself, I can definitely see a line but I just think it can't be trusted when you've taken the test apart etc. I really hope the next one is positive for you! And yes, sorry, that is a FRER - brain melt moment!

I can see a line. Try test again tomorrow / in a few days (if you can wait) and hopefully it'll be more visible 🤞

Ellabella234 · 07/08/2019 22:02

Not 100% sure how many dpo. I'm breastfeeding my 2.5yo so my period only returned in Oct, cycle lengths have varied but have been around 41 days usually, once was 57. Usually 41. This month I've had bleeding/spotting on day 30. It lasted 5 days in total but only 3 were red blood and mainly when I wiped, the first & last days were brown or pink or orangey red. I've been trying to work out whether it was IB or very early and odd AF. I know mums on here who've had IB that was very much like their AF despite usual description of just brown or pink. Sorry for blabbing ladies - feel like I'm driving myself mad haha! If it wasn't my period then my Clue app says I am only 7dpo using average 41day cycle. So it's probably too early. I've been feeling quite sick mainly in the evenings, nipples hurt when feeding at times, constant headache for the last week which isn't usual but it could all be nothing to do with it. Thanks for listening ladies x

I can see a line but very faint. Give it 48 hours for your HCG levels to double and try again!

@Ellabella234 I can see a line, Fingers crossed for you!!
Let us know when you test again if the line gets darker xxx
