Hi

My cycle is a little bit all over the place but according to my fermometer app I am 5 days late for my AF.

Last night I took a CB test and pretty sure there is a line (a weak one). DH can see it as well so this morning I did a CB digital this morning and it was a clear ‘Not Pregnant’

I’m booked for a smear test on Monday so don’t know what to do about going for that either.

Anyone had a similar experience?

Please help?

Looks positive to me! Get a frer and restest. You can always cancel/post phone your smear

JandL2020 · 19/02/2020 08:28

I’ve had bad evap lines with those but that does look like it has some colour to it. Get yourself a first response.good luck x

Some people have had positive results only in the afternoon. Clear blue isn't that sensitive. So agree with above- try frer. You should know before Monday.

Tryingandtrying · 19/02/2020 08:32

Also due to give blood this afternoon so could do with knowing either way!

Will try and grab a FRER on my lunch - anyone know which supermarkets typically stock them as I couldn't find them in Asda.

I can see the second line. Fingers crossed for you!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 19/02/2020 09:08

Boots should sell them. I got my BFP on a CB a day before I got a BFP on a FRER. 🤞 it’s a BFP.

Tryingandtrying · 19/02/2020 09:21

Thanks - having the BFN on a CB digital really makes me think it's not. Anyone had a similar situation to that (either way?)

The CB digitals are much less sensitive so if you're getting a faint line it's unlikely there's enough HCG in your system yet.

Tryingandtrying · 19/02/2020 09:30

Thanks @literaryseed - it's all so confusing

All digitals are waaay less sensitive than dye tests. Get a frer

Tryingandtrying · 19/02/2020 14:12

Thanks. Will buy one tonight on my way home

Yeah, I got a faint line on a standard test and bfn on a digital the first time. They're so much less sensitive. Their marketing strategy is brilliant of course, but I always roll my eyes at the advert- clear answer my foot. Try a test again in three days.

Tryingandtrying · 19/02/2020 14:48

Thanks @BecauseReasons - could I ask, did yours turn into a strong BFP in the end?

Here’s my line progression after getting my BFP. I’m 10 weeks tomorrow.

Please help?
BecauseReasons · 19/02/2020 14:52

Thanks @BecauseReasons - could I ask, did yours turn into a strong BFP (big fat positive) in the end?

Yep. She's currently asleep on me. Smile

paintfairy · 19/02/2020 14:54

Omg. That's a lot of tests! 😂

Tryingandtrying · 19/02/2020 15:03

@BeingATwatItsABingThing oh my goodness that is a lot of tests but so useful to see thanks!

I notice your original faint lines didn't seem to get any darker. I know it's way beyond the 10 mins but the test with the faint line was a very solid blue colour this morning (is it normal for it to get darker?)

@BecauseReasons eeeek that's just the most lovely response. Smile

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 19/02/2020 15:06

That’s not even all the tests I took... Grin

Yeah, they do usually get darker as they dry.

Tryingandtrying · 19/02/2020 20:10

What do you all think? FRER

Please help?

I see a 2nd line but very faint

claireb707 · 19/02/2020 20:14

I see it!!!
Congratulations 👏

Tryingandtrying · 19/02/2020 20:29

Should it be darker if according to my app I’m late? Having said that I’m not sure if I’m a late ovulator. Anyone else had them this faint when AF is late?
Super paranoid here

There is a line there. Lines will be dark with FMU but paler during the day. They don't necessarily get darker the more pregnant you are. CB Digital need a higher level of hormone to indicate pregnancy so are not a reliable test in the first days, especially if you don't know you ovulation day.

Literaryseed · 19/02/2020 20:35

It's there OP!

Tryingandtrying · 19/02/2020 20:40

Really trying not get hopes up but I suppose I should ring the doctor in the morning!
