Chemical :(

Does this sound like I've had a chemical? Both tests below were taken yesterday evening & last night. Very faint lines on both with colour.. Then this morning completely negative. I have irregular cycles & my last AF was around 26th May.. anyone any experiences? Any hope its just still early? TIA x

Can you try with a branded test like clearblue or frer. The cheap ones take ages to rise - speaking from experience

Digital can take longer to be positive. Definitely get one test to make sure

Is that the first test you've taken? Dating by your lmp you'd only be 4 weeks 1 day yesterday so you might not get a very strong line, especially with evening urine.

Also, depending on your ovulation date thos might be the earliest it could be picked up

I’d try a First Response if you can get your hands on one….. but agree my LMP was 24th May and I ovulate late (19dpo) so my BFP was very faint a few days ago. Not necessarily a chemical until Af arrives

@BudgetBuster could it still be possible to be pregnant though even after the negative ones this morning? Im not sure of when ovulation was as I don't track. I've only just been diagnoses with PCOS.

@Ella31 im going to hold out a few more days before testing again. Its driving me nuts though😫😭

Unfortunately I think you need to wait it out a few days and retest. Fingers crossed for you x

@BudgetBuster yeah I think so. I'm off on holidays in the morning. So will wait until I'm back if AF doesnt show up by then. Just can't stop staring at my tests though. The 2 bottom were done yesterday - showed the lines within 5mins & then the top one was done this morning. Complete negative.. Bloody confusing :( xx

I had a similar thing with these tests so I went and forked out on a clearblue early detection and got a BFP. If you can get either that or a FRER I think you'll then know for sure. Sadly I think I'm out, AF is 4 days late but my BBT dropped from 36.5 to 36.2 to 36.06. Also my lines are fainter :( Sending you lots of luck on your journey!

@EarlGrey27 its so frustrating isn't it. Im off on holidays in the morning so I will just wait until I'm back. In a weeks time.. surely i'll know by then if AF hasnt showed up🤞 Oh im so sorry for you 😞 I hope it turns out a positive for you.. you never know.. as they say , you're not out until AF shows🙏❤️ good luck to you too xxx
