Absolutely no way I'm pregnant, but...

DH had the snip about 9 years ago.

I am 36.

Very regular periods.

I am 10 days late.

5 days ago I thought I was starting because I had brown discharge. That carried on a couple of days and has now stopped.

I've had soft cramps for about a week but nothing starts.

I know it's completely ridiculous of me to think pregnancy but it's very much like my pregnancies!

I also usually have sore boobs before my period but not got that.

I feel ridiculous spending money on a test when my husband is sterile of 9 yrs.

I had a line like this when I was 2 weeks late, and it was barely much darker by a month late. I've just put the resulting 10 month old to bed! I see colour to your line, I'm sorry if this potential pregnancy isn't positive for you. I hope things work out how you need them to, op x

ReneBumsWombats · 29/06/2022 20:17

I do see the line, just, but I'd expect it to be very clear and dark if you're ten days late and getting symptoms.

Wouldloveanother · 29/06/2022 20:18

I see a line. Is it possible you conceived but the pregnancy is no longer viable, hence why it’s so faint? I would phone the GP tomorrow and get checked out. Hope you’re ok.

boopdeflouff · 29/06/2022 20:19

Can see a faint line but I would want to confirm it

fruitpastille · 29/06/2022 20:20

I has the same fears but I was 3 months late! Dh also had the snip. I put it down to having covid/booster and being mid 40s but in the end I was so paranoid (thought I felt movement and had slight weight gain) the doctor gave me a blood test. I was not pregnant. Just a bit fat... Good luck.

JenniferPlantain · 29/06/2022 20:21

Evap.

Though vasectomies can 'grow back'....

If you’re ten days late for your period there is no way that’s positive.
It’s quite trolly of the other people saying “line” IMO. You only have to read a few conception threads and have a basic knowledge of the female cycle to know that’s very probably a negative test.

I disagree. Cycles are not accurate but that's a clear line.

Sorry I had no idea they did false positives sometimes. My bad.

Anyway OP I do hope you are OK.

With my first, I'd have agreed with you, it was glaring! But with my second, it looked like this when I was nearly 4 weeks late and am very regular. I also had a friend who never had a strong positive but now has a 3 year old son, for some weird reason it can and does happen

Absolutely no way I'm pregnant, but...
Theonlyoneiknow · 29/06/2022 20:24

It could just be perimenopause starting OP, not that uncommon at 36yrs for your cycle to start going a bit haywire. I do see a very faint line however, but it is super faint. See how you get on tomorrow morning with morning wee.

Rachie1973 · 29/06/2022 20:25

I’m not sure. I’d just re test in the morning.

Cactusprick · 29/06/2022 20:26

Okay so my experience…
first pregnancy dark line when 1 day late.
second pregnancy very faint line at 5 days late on a first response. Turns out I ovulated late for my second but not my first.
my gut tells me you are OP. Please re test x

MrsJBaptiste · 29/06/2022 20:31

I was 9 months late once then bam! My periods were back every 28 days, regular as clockwork.

FWIW, I cannot see anything that resembles a line on the picture you posted @NahNoWay

Wilkolampshade · 29/06/2022 20:32

Hope you get the result you want with a re-test in the a.m. The waiting's awful I know. X

NotMyselfWithoutCoffee · 29/06/2022 20:32

Not dark enough to be a positive.
I've had faint lines on those and been neg.

FairyLightPups · 29/06/2022 20:33

I can see a line but I can't tell if it's an evap or not. There's a tiny bit of colour to it but apparently FRER have been doing that recently.

Try one of the clearblues that say 'pregnant' instead.

RJnomore1 · 29/06/2022 20:34

I can see a line and i rarely can on the line threads.

HappyAsASandboy · 29/06/2022 20:35

I have a post-vasectomy baby.

I have had 5 pregnancies and all were very feint for weeks on end.

Take another test tomorrow and see what it says!

RisingSunn · 29/06/2022 20:35

I can see an obvious pink line there! Pink dye is more reliable than blue.

rubberhead · 29/06/2022 20:37

Any update op? Thinking of you

How long after the vasectomy?

Rabbitholedigger · 29/06/2022 20:38

That's not an evap that's a faint line.

I don't has my glasses on and can see that.

Anyway, supporting you OP FlowersFlowers

Rabbitholedigger · 29/06/2022 20:40

Have* see I need my glasses 😂

RisingSunn · 29/06/2022 20:40

I only call that an ‘obvious’ line because my tests were always this faint early on.

Thursday37 · 29/06/2022 20:43

I can see the line but I had one like that on a FR with a very late period and it wasn’t positive. So it’s probably not.
It really freaked me out though as had the same faint line on 2 different tests.
