Am I pregnant ?

First pic is normal with no filters or edits, second and 3rd pic I've darkened it to see if line is actually there. Is this a false positive?

If you're like me you might be then, I'm basing this on the smoothie cravings/backache though 😁 I lived on sharing size packets of skips and smoothies in the early stages with DC1.

I'd go for the digital ones that spell it out and how many weeks. Those have never been wrong for me.

I've ordered clearblue digital and FRER. CB is arriving first so if still no AF on Tuesday or Wednesday I'll test with FMU and if still no AF and no result I'll use the FRERS a couple days after. Thanks for the help x

Update: missed period Day 3, lower back aches, lower abdomen pain, occasional stomach/belly pain, craving smoothies still, are mushrooms and scrambled egg which I HATE and this was off to me because I cannot stand the texture of both yet I ate it all and really wanted it, felt very sick almost gagging yet didn't actually throw up. Haven't tested today and will wait until the morning.

My personal vice was an average of one digital and a couple of FRER a day. It was bad. I was spending over £100 a month on tests 😳😳 I would advise leave it 3 more days then try a digital. Order a pack of 2. If it's negative and still no period give it another 3 days and test again.

don't think it came up in time frame but is this positive or?!

airmaxJJeanii · 17/04/2023 23:43

Yes! Congratulations x

Yes! Congratulations x

it came up at least after an hour but u don't know when. I took it 6.30/7pm and it was negative but about half an hour ago I was getting ready for bed and saw that result! I'm 3 days late for period. Is this not an evap or false positive?

coffeeiswgatkeepsmesane · 18/04/2023 00:02

ThT does look promising!

Even tho it showed up between 1-4 hours?!

greyberry · 18/04/2023 00:11

It's unlikely to be an evap as it has colour and is a full line, not a smudge. It does look quite dark to be a false positive but as it was out of the time frame I'd say do another one to be sure x

I'm 3 days late (technically 4 as it's gone past midnight) and all previous tests were negative. I took 3 clearblue. 1 stark white negative, 1 was very faint and then this one was this evening. I don't know whether to trust clearblue with the amount of false positives I've heard!

Maybe.... but you are not patient....

I've never been pregnant before, this whole process is very new to me. I've heard you're most likely positive by now and it would've shown up from day of missed period and thought 3-4 days past missed period would be too late now as tests were showing BFNs.

If it took an hour to appear from my experience either a late implantation or a possible chemical pregnancy

Would I not have bled if it was a CP?

coffeeiswgatkeepsmesane · 18/04/2023 00:35

For background OP I've been pregnant 6 times and unfortunately miscarried all of them at various stages, I spent almost a decade TTC.. hence why I got a obsessed with testing . The thing is most people get pregnant and stay pregnant, my experience makes me very cautious and Cynical. I found MN during my first MC. I wish someone had been blunt and honest with me and so that's why I'm quite straight talking.

greyberry · 18/04/2023 08:16

@PossiblyPregnant0571 You can usually get positive tests before bleeding. with my CP I had 4 days of positive tests and symptoms before I started bleeding for 6 days. It was much heavier than any period (it went through my clothes) and after 2 days of bleeding I got a not pregnant test result.

greyberry · 18/04/2023 11:30

@PossiblyPregnant0571 how are you feeling?
