Hi all,

I took a Tesco cheap test last night and got the faintest of lines so I went out today and bought a Clearblue triple check pack (2 early detection and a digital which says how many weeks) I did an early detection and the digital together, thought I might have seen something on the early detection but the digital was negative so didn’t think anything of it. Fast forward a few hours I look at it and there appears to be a line, instead of getting ahead of myself as I know Clearblue are notorious for evap lines, I grabbed the other test and have literally just taken it 5 minutes ago and saw a line before the 3 minutes was even up. Is it possible that I am pregnant and it’s just too early for the digital to pick up? I’ve attached a picture of the test I’ve just taken

Looks promising to me. When is your period due?

This is half of the problem, I’m not sure! I recently came off the depo, had my first period 2nd November and I haven’t had anything since. According to Flo I’m 9 days late but as I’ve only had one period since I don’t actually know!

I can see something there!! Can you try testing again tomorrow?

I'm in a similar boat. AF due Thursday & on Thursday morning took this test (line looks clearer on black and white)
Convinced myself it was negative, went for two boozy nights out (oops!) and now (Sunday) still no sign of AF...
Sent DH to get more tests today

Does this look positive?

AF was due last Thursday, not this Thursday!

I hate clearblue... They're total opposite of what the name suggests 🤣 get early detection pink dye tests from boots if you can. Or even the cheap strips tests are better than CB

Yes!!

AF is 3 days late (usually v regular). I've done 2 CB tests (1 last Wed and 1 on Thursday when due) which both had faint lines.

Waited and did another CB test today, thinking for sure it would be clear positive, and it's a BFN- no hint of a line. It's such a rollercoaster!

Will pick up some pink dye ones tomorrow if AF still not arrived...

I had the total opposite in my last pregnancy! Pink line tests took ages to show anything but got a positive on a clearblue early detection and an early digital! However I refuse to spend another £20 on tests so I’ve picked up some cheap pink line ones for tomorrow! The first one I took yesterday was pink dye and was very faint!

I had my first faint bfp at 7dpo on the cheap pink strip tests then a boots early detection showed proper bfp at 9dpo and CB digital on 10dpo, I'm now 19+5 with my rainbow baby 💗

Huge congrats!!! You must be over the moon <3

I'll try pink tests. I have never been 3 days late before & have had 2 super faint lines, but BFN today. So confusing!!

Hope everything continues to go well for you x

Awww congratulations! 💕

It’s funny how everyone has different experiences, when I was pregnant with our little boy (now 2) I had no luck with pink dye tests, clear blue early detection gave me my first proper positive and I got a positive on the early digital!

I took one of the cheapies this morning and I don’t know what to make of it! I’ve put in an online doctors form to see if they’ll do a blood test to put me out of my misery 😂

I’ve added a photo of the test from this morning!

Looks positive. 🤞

MrBigsCat · 11/12/2023 14:07

I think they are positive 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Kellyaust · 11/12/2023 14:40

I think that's definitely positive 🎉

Kellyaust · 11/12/2023 14:41

@anonhop any news?

Thank you, it's constant worry when you've had a previous miscarriage but all is going great so far 💗

I think that's positive. Looks like mine did before my period. I would test again first thing in the morning and I bet you get a clearer result.

Well I couldn’t help myself and did a boots early detection today after some recommendations and it was negative! I think I’m going to leave it until Wednesday before I do any more now but I’m pretty sure I’m not pregnant!

Did you hold your pee before you did it? You did the last one this morning didn't you? I would've waited til tomorrow fmu or held for at least 4 hours with little fluid.

I did multiple of this same test a few days before my period was due, all had lines just like that and I'm most definitely pregnant
