Do these faint lines on frer mean I'm pregnant?

It would be totally unplanned and I never saw this coming!

Are these tests postive?

Mine looked like that on a Friday. By Monday - neon.

I'd say yes!

HansSolo22 · 22/03/2020 14:44

Looks like it to me! Congratulations if it’s good news for you Smile

MaintainTheMolehill · 22/03/2020 14:45

Yes mine looked like that at a week before I should have been testing.

Outnumbered99 · 22/03/2020 14:46

Yes looks like a positive to me...

Nogodsnomasters · 22/03/2020 14:47

Absolutely positive. My first test was fainter than that and I've got the fruit of that lying beside me right now watching an iPad lol.

AllRainbowsAndUnicorns · 22/03/2020 14:47

Congratulations, you're pregnant!

JoyfulExpat · 22/03/2020 14:49

Oh gosh.

Do you think I should confirm with a clear blue digital? Or is there no need to test again?

I wasn't planning on having another right now, but we've been using the pull out method which clearly isn't very effective!

Yip yer up the duff. Congratulatuons!

Justabitworried · 22/03/2020 14:59

Definitely positive. My first tests were fainter than this. How are you feeling?

JoyfulExpat · 22/03/2020 15:04

I'm in shock. Do you think I should buy a clear blue digital to confirm? @justabitworried - I haven't told my husband yet, not sure when I will. And with everything going on in the world with the coronavirus the last place I want to be is going to the gp or midwives.

“I wasn't planning on having another right now, but we've been using the pull out method which clearly isn't very effective!”

Hmm

No. It isn’t. Congrats on your pregnancy.

Elouera · 22/03/2020 15:06

Congrats- but pull out isn't a 'method' at all when you know how many babies are born that way!!!

ambereeree · 22/03/2020 15:07

Positive!

JoyfulExpat · 22/03/2020 15:08

Yeah I know, you both are right.

Once it's sunk in I'm sure we will get excited about it. I know my daughters would love a sibling. So do I need to buy another test to confirm or are those 2 enough to go on?

Crunchymum · 22/03/2020 15:16

You use the withdrawal method and this was a surprise? Shock

Elouera · 22/03/2020 15:18

Why do you need another test???
You already have 2 positive ones in front of you [insert head slap]

JoyfulExpat · 22/03/2020 15:21

I don't know because they are faint lines, so wondering if I should just do a digital to double confirm.

OP posts:
CrazyToast · 22/03/2020 15:45

The test instructions say that two lines are a postive result, no matter how faint the second line is.

BuffaloCauliflower · 22/03/2020 15:53

No need to confirm with a digital, these are more sensitive than a CB so would be a bit backwards

JoyfulExpat · 22/03/2020 15:57

Ok thanks everyone!

OP posts:
Whatthecrepe · 22/03/2020 15:58

Yes congratulations!!

bluebell94 · 22/03/2020 16:31

That's what my first FRER test looked like, they got darker and darker from then. You could try a clear blue digital but I would wait a few days as they aren't as sensitive as these tests so could give false negative. Congratulations, even though it was a surprise! Hope you're ok with it x

MsChatterbox · 22/03/2020 16:47

Congratulations. Even though it may not seem like a good time, it will give you something to look forward to amongst the darkness.

JoyfulExpat · 22/03/2020 21:19

Thank you. I'm just trying to get my head around it. Haven't told OH yet

Bettie2192 · 22/03/2020 23:10

Definitely positive, congratulations! I just got my BFP about an hour ago, I couldn’t believe my eyes either!
I don’t think you are silly at all for wanting to test again, I’ll be doing the same thing until it fully sinks in!
