Hi all, 3 days late but not really had symptoms of pregnancy. Felt abit sicky and headaches on and off… i have been unwell last week with cold / flu so just assumed headaches and odd tummyache was down to that.

Took a test this morning and i think it’s positive? But i know clearblue with blue dye can be a nightmare for evaps.

I think that’s a positive. The ones where it’s a vap line usually is a very thin line. Maybe get hold of a pink die test if you can. Congratulations if it is positive 😊🍀

Congratulations. Positive x

That looks positive to me! I've never had a problem with clearblue, and mine looked exactly like that to start with! Congratulations!!

@4LeafCloverBaby @jajatree @Suchardchoccy thanks for jumping on my post :) i took another test; I ideally wanted a First Response (pink dye) as i know they work and have previously used them with my other 2 children. But just seems to be nowhere seems to sell them other than online. So i grabbed a box of 2 clearblue Rapid Detection ones. I'm not convinced now to be honest. but still no period and it's 3 days late now. i've added the photos below.

Did the line appear within the timeframe?

@4LeafCloverBaby yes :) i put it away after 3 minutes because the faint line started forming within 30 seconds

4LeafCloverBaby · 29/11/2023 13:59

I really do think that is positive then! It’s a nice thick line which is what it should be 😊 I guess order some pink ones for delivery tomorrow if you can!!

@4LeafCloverBaby absolutely a good shout! I was thinking leave it now for a few days and maybe test with the other clear blue I have as i brought a pack of 2, then its gotten a lot darker i will know for sure. If i test and i'm still unsure then buy pink dyes?

4LeafCloverBaby · 29/11/2023 14:03

@cgwx yes sounds like a good plan 👍🏼 good luck 😊🍀Keep us updated

Devilsmommy · 29/11/2023 14:05

That looks positive to me. Mine was exactly the same faint line and I've got a 14mo to show it🤣

@4LeafCloverBaby i absolutely will! :) thanks again x

@Devilsmommy haha. see i know what to expect because i've got 2 already. BUT i don't normally go for clear blue i have always used first response but can't get them anywhere these days in the UK other than online. I was too impatient to wait after seeing that this morning. I thought i was seeing things this morning because it was so faint BUT came up pretty much straight away. If i am pregnant i would say this is about 15 DPO so if that is right then the test lines will probably be quite faint at the moment. x

@cgwx I'd go for a digital one next, that's what I did when the others were showing faintly. I know digital ones get knocked on here but mine told me exactly right😊

@Devilsmommy i'm tempted to get the double check if i can't get pink dye... the clear blue one as its £11.99 at the moment in superdrug. its about going though lol. If i had had this option at Asda i'd have brought it.

UPDATE: I’ve started having random spotting again with cramps 😢💔

OP posts:
IVFfirsttimer91 · 03/12/2023 22:35

Hey OP, try not to worry! I had cramping and spotting up to 10 weeks. And I’m nearly 25 weeks now.

are the cramps really bad and what colour is the spotting?
