I took a test last night and it looked negative after a few mins so I put it in my drawer and fell asleep and then checked it this morning and there was a second line. I don’t want to get my hopes up but I’ve never had any sort of line before so I’m unsure what to make of it (I’m 10dpo) any advice would be welcome!

Is this positive?

I do see the line... But I'd take another test to be sure

MozzarellaMonster · 28/05/2022 13:05

Looks positive but yeah I'd take another test, good luck 🤞

Thank you for replying, it just looks a bit off centre to me so I'll def take another one as soon as I can. I've never stared at something for so long!

These tests are notorious for false positives. I had exactly the same thin line on these tests after the advised time frame and I wasn't pregnant. Was devastated!
Try a pink dye, first response are the best in my opinion!

Ok cool, thank you! Who knew it could be so confusing?! I just thought a positive was positive and negative was negative... and then I googled it! I'll just count it as a negative until I've done another one later and then I guess I can't be disappointed.

Okay I just did a Waitrose one and it looks negative apart from maybe a slight shadow but I would say more than likely negative. I feel like my eyes have gone weird looking at it!

I see the slight shadow on the second test, I'd say keep testing and fingers crossed it's a bfp! 🤞🤞

So I had another positive on the CB rapid response and then a negative this morning on the cb monitor- what does this mean?!

Maybe it means there isn't enough hcg in your urine just yet! If your getting positives that's good even if very faint. They always say you can get a false negative but hardly ever a false positive especially if more than 1 positive!

BabyBx · 29/05/2022 09:53

Do you have a pic of the cb rapid response?

Here's both of them together- I can't actually remember which one is which but they both looks pretty positive- although I just don't want to get too excited just yet

I think I'm just worried because so many people seem to find they get positives on the CBRR and then negatives and then AF ends up arriving so I'm just hoping I get a positive on another test in the next day or two x

They are definitely positive! 😁😁 when is your period due?

BabyBx · 29/05/2022 10:29

Yes take a different test to make sure but 2 positives - I think it's looking positive you are! 🤞 fingers crossed. Xx

snowflake29 · 29/05/2022 10:33

The vertical lines on the clearblues are definitely off centre and would make me think they're faulty tbh...were they both from the same pack? Pink dye tests are usually more reliable, if they're showing negative then unfortunately I think you may not be pregnant (or too early to tell)

Pic of my clearblue test with current pregnancy for reference!

I did think that to be honest. They're from different packs but I've heard so many negative stories about them that I'm wondering if it is actually positive or not. I mean who know?! Who knew it would be so complicated looking at lines on a stick!

@Wilf2020 oh I've been where you are loads of times so know exactly the emotions! Took us a year both times to conceive so I've taken more than my fair share of tests 🙈

Fingers crossed for the outcome you want. Do you have any cheapies from Amazon/eBay? I found them more sensitive both times I've been pregnant. I got a barely visible line on them before it was even positive on a first response!

We've been trying on and off for over a year but in the loosest sense so this month I got the tracker and the vitamins and all the good stuff so I'm hoping it won't be too long! I'll def get some of the cheaper ones now we are back in the game!

Ooo! Not long to wait! 🤞 have you any other brand tests to try? I always got positives on the cheapie strip tests and first response early detection ones. ❤ xx
P.s I do think the lines look a little more to one side than the other but perhaps it's just because your early testing. I hope they aren't faulty but you can never be sure with pregnancy tests! It can be so frustrating xx

Wilf2020 · 29/05/2022 10:59

No I think I'll stick up on a few more. Although I feel like my brain and my eyes need a break from looking at tests so I might just wait a little while. Either I'll come in or if not I should get a much clearer line. I'll make sure to update with either of the two! Thanks so much for the responses it's nice to talk through it with people other than my husband haha

I would recommend a FRER test

Bundaberg84 · 29/05/2022 15:08

The clear blue ones appeared outside the time frame right? Unfortunately you'll have to see them as invalid. I had lines show up after 3 hours and I ended up getting my AF. Doesn't mean you won't get your BFP though. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Wilf2020 · 29/05/2022 15:23

Yeah both were outside of the time so I'm going to count them as void. I've never experienced this before, I didn't even really know this was a thing until I googled it! I wonder if because its super sensitive and for a lot of people the pregnancy then doesn't stick or whether there is some sort of overall fault in the design. It's so confusing! It says on the website that any line of a positive but sooooo many people have had experience saying otherwise. To summarise I am not celebrating and planning a grand announcement just yet haha x
