Pregnancy test result help

Hi! I'm not sure what to think so some advice would be appreciated. Yesterday when I was 11dpo I took a Boots own pregnancy test... it came up with the faintest line! So I used the second test (as I had a 2 pack) and got the same result. It was that faint I couldn't even tell if it was just grey or had any pink dye in it. I then read a load of reviews saying how awful Boots tests were for evap lines and false positives so I dismissed the results and left it at that.
This morning I happened to see the Boots tests on the side and had a look again and the lines seemed slightly pink. I know this isn't reliable at all as they had been left too long but it was on my mind then so when I went to Morrisons this afternoon I picked up a 2 pack of the Morrison's own pregnancy tests. I did one this afternoon when I got back and got a clearer line that is pink. It is still v faint though and I've tried to take a photo to show. I'm 12dpo today but now unsure if that's an evap line too as read some reviews about Morrisons tests being unreliable. Both tests test 25 mlU. I've got the second test left which I'm going to use when I get up tomorrow with fmu. Do you think it is worth ordering some Clear Blue digital tests? I think I just can't get it off my mind!

Try to get hold of frer as they’re the most sensitive, or if not get the boots own early response test, I found them really clear early on.

Thanks for your reply! Yes I will, I was debating ordering off Amazon tonight so it would come for tomorrow.

It also took ages to upload my photo sorry! 🙈

You have had 3 positive tests, having looked at the picture you are definitely pregnant! Congratulations!

All of my early tests have looked like this, it will get darker the further along you get

Thanks you! Yes I will keep testing and fingers crossed the line gets darker 🤞🏻

What are the chances that 3 tests are faulty? I don't think so. Looks like you're definitely pregnant my dear 😊

LadyJ2023 · 25/02/2023 02:31

I'm not seeing a 2nd line at all and that's after multiple pregnancies myself I'm only seeing the one strong not pregnant one

Rowen32 · 25/02/2023 04:58

I don't see a line there at all, I'm sorry

123deepbreath · 25/02/2023 05:05

I can see a line, if give it a few days and test again, I know the waiting is the worst bit! I hope you get the result you want!

Thanks for your replies. I'll take a test in a couple of days and see what it says.

looks positive to me.

NeverApologiseNeverExplain · 25/02/2023 07:23

You just need to wait it out. There is definitely a faint line. Either the lines will get stronger or your period will arrive.

Sometimes people have chemical pregnancies where the embryo implants just long enough to make the body start producing the hormone that the test looks for, but it doesn't stay the course and the line just fades away. I had this a couple of times, it's a bummer. Got there in the end another month though.

Best of luck.

Thank you! I took the second Morrisons test this morning and it's still very faint! As you said I just need to wait it out and see what happens. Need to keep busy and take my mind off it ha.

I need some help with reading pregnancy test results. I have irregular periods but I think I should be around 12 days post ovulation.

I get positives on all Boots strips albeit it’s faint and takes longer and positives on first response which is getting stronger. BUT the digital tests are all negative!

thought maybe someone with similar experiences can help read the tests.

Those digital tests are not negative.

NelTea · 25/02/2023 15:45

these are first response and boots strips. The digital ones are from Clear Blue and clearly say “not pregnant”. Just want to make sure these aren’t false positives.

I would say they are definitely positive! The digital ones tend to detect a higher amount of hcg so it might just be you are not at that point yet but will be in a day or two on a digital :)

Fingers crossed then 😀 I kept thinking if they were going evap lines they'd be on a whole lot of them. I'll test again in a couple of days then

I got the Clear Blue 6 day early digital test and I thought that worked well.
