I'd be inclined to say that you are, but it's not where it should be/not progressing and that's why it's not getting darker - please please get yourself checked over and have bloods done - the voice of experience here Thanks

LochNessMumster87 · 19/09/2019 20:57

Gyno didn't phone back, she must have not been in her office today, I'll try again tomorrow and if there's still no answer I'll phone doctors and try and get a quick appointment. I just really need to know what's going on now. I'm in limbo, I don't know if i am or I'm not. Everytime I see a line I'm like yay the lines still there but I don't want to get my hopes up or excited if I'm not. So down right now :(

@LochNessMumster87 I wouldn't be hanging around waiting for gyno I'd just ring the GP get an appointment and have blood tests done. He can then refer you on if needs be.

LochNessMumster87 · 20/09/2019 13:00

Phoned doctors and can't get an appointment until monday. So I did another test anyway. Again, pink line straight away. Literally in seconds. You can see the ink is still travelling along.

OP I know how heartbreaking this is but I think, given the first test was taken nearly two weeks ago now, this doesn't look like it's progressing as it should.

Whereas early on I could see v faint line, the most recent one below looks absolutely negative to me, coupled with the frer being negative

I think you should keep the appointment for Monday, get bloods done and see what's happening with your cycle. You've said they're quite erratic so it might just be a long one for you.

I'm really sorry as I totally understand the energy behind wanting this and I know everyone is routing for you. Xx

Shelbustotherescue · 20/09/2019 15:03

You really should have a much stronger line than that - I can't see the most recent line at all.

Hopefully the doctors can help on Monday Thanks

sredwards · 20/09/2019 17:41

@LochNessMumster87 I can see the faint line. Hopefully you'll have bloods taken on Monday and go from there. Xxx

LochNessMumster87 · 20/09/2019 18:15

It's just all so confusing! I literally don't know what to think by this point. With my son I felt bloated took a test and bam.... Dark line, went and got a digi and it said 1-2 weeks it was easy and simple and there was no what if this what if that. But after 4 years of blank tests this has really got me going insane ☹️ I'm so scared

NoseringGirl · 20/09/2019 18:41

I totally understand your feelings on this and I know you've tested with water etc. But I honestly don't trust those tests at all. I've had lines on them and I've been testing way too early and would not have been producing hcg. They're hit and miss as well because I've also had negatives on them.
Definitely go to that doctors appointment but I'd trust the FRER over these cheapie tests, especially this late on.
I'm so sorry you're going through all this and I hope you get a strong and sticky BFP very soon!!

itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted · 20/09/2019 19:05

I'm sure it's been said already but you are invalidating the test by taking them apart - once the air gets to them it can make a line appear.....i think that's what this this x

LochNessMumster87 · 20/09/2019 19:16

I have already explained that the lines were there already and that I only took the front off to get a good picture. Also I find it hard to believe that taking it off can cause a test to turn positive... Unless the air in my bathroom is pregnant. And since you can buy cheap pregnancy test strips that are literally open to the elements...wouldnt they all have lines? So every woman taking cheap strip tests goes around thinking they're pregnant because the air has given them a positive pregnancy test?

🙂😂😂 your reply made me laugh @LochNessMumster87

sheshootssheimplores · 20/09/2019 22:15

I’ve only heard on MN that pregnancy tests become invalid once you split them open. I too think that’s bullshit. If pregnancy tests showed s lime each time I’d busted one of the little bastards open I’d have spent far less time staring at completely white tests.

Actionhasmagic · 20/09/2019 23:09

Good luck

TtcanotherG · 20/09/2019 23:18

Hope u answers soon lochness

Rose87777 · 20/09/2019 23:28

The tests are not invalidated by taking them out the casing! (speaking as a clinical scientist). I can see a line in all of your tests OP and I think your GP will want to do bloods to check your blood HCG level. Really feel for you in this limbo!

LochNessMumster87 · 20/09/2019 23:29

Thank you 😊 hopefully there will be 2 additions to the household. A baby and a baby bathroom since clearly she's also pregnant. I've always wanted 2 kids and 2 bathrooms!

@LochNessMumster87 😂😂😂 I hope they both do well

motherofdinosau · 21/09/2019 08:13

I had very faint lines (cheapie £land tests) like yours for approx two weeks (lots of symptoms of being pregnant though) and then the last one i did was a very strong clear line! I then bought a digital & it said i was 3-4 weeks!
With my first i used cheapie tests and all had strong lines from The start.
It can happen like this, so dont listen to the negative nellies 😊
But please, for your own piece of mind, consult your dr & they can do a blood test & that way you will know for sure

sredwards · 21/09/2019 08:19

@LochNessMumster87 With my son I didn't get a strong positive until 3 weeks after missed period! XX

LochNessMumster87 · 21/09/2019 08:27

Thank you all so much 😊 I still have hope then lol xxx

taytosandwich · 21/09/2019 14:31

Negative nellies? She's had a negative on a first response. the cheap shit tests are throwing up faint positive lines because they cheap and shit, multiple people have told her that it's happened to them too, and she still doesn't believe them because a few people come along throwing crumbs of false hope. OP I am surprised you're so incredulous at the thought that cheap tests will throw up false positives but seem fine with thinking every other (decent) test will produce false negatives. If you were pregnant your hcg should be in the thousands by now.

taytosandwich · 21/09/2019 14:33

And I apologise if that sounds harsh but you're driving yourself mad with these tests, it's very bad for your emotional health and you don't need false hope, you need to be realistic.

AloneLonelyLoner · 21/09/2019 14:51

I'm with @taytosandwich on this one.

@LochNessMumster87 I'm so sorry, but if it were a viable pregnancy then the line would be really dark by now. People are giving out false hope.

Very early miscarriage is far more common than the chances of multiple tests being slightly wonky. I've had a few myself. I know it's hard but you need to get this sorted because if you haven't passed it then it could sit in there for months. Preventing you from a successful pregnancy.

Best wishes to you.
