I did one yesterday and could see a line so could DH (within 10 mins) but it was unbelieveably faint.

I did another this morning and its the same.

At first it looks like nothings there but if you take it to th window , tilt it ect then you can see some thing.

Am worried its just the line that soaks up the dye or soemthing,

Ive been nauseus for 3 days (due fri/sat) but I cant even begin to think I am becasue this happened last cycle too,

tho DH confirmed this line this time.

TIA

hmm unsure as you didnt get a line after 10 -15mins which is usually a evap. buy a cb digital and they will reassure your mind. i used them at 4 days before AF was due.

I had a similar thing and also started to feel almost immediately...odd. Am now 17 weeks.

Good luck!

Hi ladies thanks!

I used a clearblue test.
I tried it 3 days ago and even after 10 minutes there was nothing.

But last night there was something! So I don't know!

I have got a clearblue digital to use on Saturday morning, so fingers crossed!

I think my HCG levels aren't very high as when I was pregnant with my DS who is now 3, I only got a very very faint line and that was once I was 10 days late!

I hope that 'a line is a line' will turn out to be true!

I had a very faint dot that was def positive 2 days later.

sweetkitty · 12/03/2008 17:18

I have had this twice now very faint lines on an ebay cheapie that turned into BFPs. I don't rate ebay cheapies until you are about a week late thats when I got a definite dark positive on them.

What I did was do a test in plain water the same time as the urine test, I was getting the faintest line on the urine one but nothing on the water.

Those tests drive you mad.

Hi i had 3 faint positive results and a strong positive from a c.b before i sent my doctors sample which came back negative! I then had to do another for the dr'd which was positive and now have dd3 (5 months)

sweetkitty · 12/03/2008 17:27

Saturday is TOO far away I would be down the chemist tomorrow (I am known for my impatient testing though)

good luck to you

I had a faint pink line with first response, could only really see it when looking carefully/in certain light - at a glance you wouldn't have noticed it. I took the pregnancy test to the GP the next day and he said to take it as a positive and retest the next day. Retested the next day and it was a darker line and I'm now 41+2

Well done on having the patience to wait! I went out and bought four different brands to test with!

Oh you have way too much willpower

amidaiwish · 13/03/2008 13:31

i had this with DD1 - very faint line about 3 days before my period was due, then a negative (late the next day, had been drinking a lot of water if that makes a difference). The next morning did one early, big fat blue line.

try first thing in the morning before you've had anything to drink.

i could well be talking bolleaux by the way!

Good luck, i bet you are pg!

Disenchanted

You and I will both be so desperate by Saturday! heheheh

I must say I gave in and did a TESCO one this morning, and within 2 minutes I got my faint pink line!!!

I have done 3 tests now and all have had teh same result...

I am going to do another one tomorrow morning - first morning wee....and then save the clearblue digital for Saturday morning!

Ohhh I can;t wait for saturday!

CONGRATULATIONS DUNGUNGIRL

DungunGirl · 13/03/2008 20:12

oh no disenchanted! Are you sure?

Saying that though, maybe it will be just a little which is normal for some people but you may still be pregnant!

I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for the both of us!

Well, Im quite sure (sorry TMI) gunk on loo roll and cramps.

Part of me is thinking well you had gunk on CD 18 & 22 and AF never came and people said it could be implantation.

But ITS NOT, ITS af.

It'll be here properly soon.

CD1 again, Im so pissed off

Sorry disenchanted...

Chin up...I have PCOS and have found it really hard to conceive...but yet it is looking hopeful, so it will happen for you again soon - I am sure of it.

I think some retail therapy should be in order for you tomorrow!!!

There are some nice spring lines in the shops at the moment.

Go and treat yourself....and here's a BIIIGGGGG HUUGGGG......
