Faint pos ??

Hard to see really, but it showed up in the time frame, very faint, but definately there, what do you think?

This is a 25 Hcg (sp?) so not an early test, and i am only due AF on Monday.

a line is a line, whether it is feint or not

ButterflyMcQueen · 17/04/2008 15:15

i find first response the most sensitive - tesco own variable

MrsMattie · 17/04/2008 15:16

Looks like a BFP to me

Ok, now have battered head.

Went to tesco, bought 2 pack of their own make tests, just tested and nothing, well maybe a shadow if that. Certainly nothing that jumped out to say BFP.

Sureitsno3

I did a cheapie got a faint +, did a tescos BFN ... did a first response BFN ... another first response next day BFP then BFP on digital!

Its bloody confusing!

Wait till Monday morning if you can

BigBadMouse · 17/04/2008 21:03

But what time of day did you do the cheapie test? If it is early days first thing in the morning is best option....

I still think the ebay test is right - I certainly hope so after all you are going through!

Question is how long can you stand to wait until testing again - I don't envy you

Cheapie test i did this morn and last night, the one this morn was very slightly darker, but still VERY faint.

The tesco one i did about tea time and have just done another (omg i am not even sure i want to be pg and i am obsessing!) and there is a very very faint line, blink and you miss it!

I hate being in limbo land, just want to know yes or no!

Af isn't due until Monday, so unlikely for anything to show really yet, i just know i am, definately! Feel queasy, and if i lean on anything or bend down and anything presses on me i feel like i am going to puke, peeing loads, i know the signs - been there twice before! just need the test to confirm it.

Like you, I've been there, done that too - its very frustrating knowing but not knowing IYSWIM isn't it?

I don't rate the tescos test much but really don't see why - after all they are all the same basic thing really, just in a different (fancy) casing.

Hcg levels double every 48hours so best test every other day

Disenchanted · 18/04/2008 09:13

JUST WAIT TILL MONDAY!!!

I dint get a BFP till I was 8 days LATE!

I was doing them almost daily!

Still feeling sickly, and been really bloated in the evenings, don't know what that is all about!

Have ordered some cheapie tests off ebay and they should come tomorrow, the 10hcg ones.

I know i am boring but anyone?

OP posts:
beautifuldays · 18/04/2008 22:23

you are definately preggers! congratulations

my line with ds was so faint you had to hold it up to the light to see it!

the way the test works - the more hcg the darker the line. but no hcg, no line. so faint line = presence of hcg which means you are preggers, iyswim

BigBadMouse · 18/04/2008 22:35

You know you are.

Question - Why did you test so early?????

Have all fingers and toes crossed for you

sureitsno3 · 18/04/2008 22:42

I tested so early as the last few days i have felt really sickly, like MS sickly, plus bloated etc.

I will not believe until i see a bright pink line (i know i am nutty!)

Ok, have done a couple of tests today, pics in profile.

Not sure now as surely they should be getting darker? would you get a faint line anyway? don't women have so much of this Hcg already in there system.

Although having worked it out i am only roughly 8dpo so who knows, i just know how i feel at the moment.

ImightbeLulumama · 19/04/2008 12:52

if you are only 8 dpo then it is very soon to expect a dark strong positive

I'm going to try and put some pics on my profile of my two tests - taken two days apart when I was pregnant (still am actually come to think of it ). There was not much increase in darkness in the two - will look up how many days DPO I was with them (very conveniently, I was charting at the time).

It's hard to stop testing I know. I'm sure you'll do your best to avoid testing again but 'tis only your mummy insticts kicking in and can't be helped .

Last time I tried to photograph the lines it failed miserably but I'll give it go!

BigBadMouse · 19/04/2008 17:46

cannot get silly camera to take a decent photo of my two lines - even the test line hardly shows up! That said I can honestly say that my two lines are exactly the same as yours, if not a little fainter. I have tested with them before when not pregnant but not long after a MC and had no line at all. With these tests I OV'd on day 15, and first pos was on day 27, second pos isn't really any stronger just a bit more defined IYSWIM - less of blur, but not any darker. I took a clearblue digi on day 29 which gave a def pos. I've just sold all my cheapy ebay tests but wonder if I took one now how strong it would show up - I'm 36 weeks pg now.

Keep us posted and roll on Monday

Thanks bigbadmouse, you have the patience of a saint

I think the tests i did earlier, i was a little impatient, waited all day and done another (i know i know) and have a look, its on my profile, def a bit darker, i also did that invert thing when you do it in a negative vision and you can definately the the line, i have been reading up about evap lines this way will not show a evap.

OP posts:
BigBadMouse · 20/04/2008 01:31

Looks darker to me too.

How many tests have you got left?

I saw a clearblue digi in the 'for free' section on here a few days ago but I think it has gone now.

Hope you have a busy day planned for tomorrow to take your mind off things.

btw - wish I did have patience of a saint!

Disenchanted · 20/04/2008 08:21

It was me giving away the digital, its gone now though, sorry.

Fingers still crossed for you SIN3.
