Hey all,

I am pcos with irregular periods that have become more regular over the past 3 months. This month I'm either late or close to late. I've had sore boobs for 10 days so thought I'd do a saliva test middle of the day which came up faint positive.

This morning I did a boots early detection and a regular Tesco. Boots was a positive almost immediately. Tesco was a faint positive within a few mins.

However boots have reviews saying that people saw indentation lines as faint positives. Is it possible for an indentation line to be that strong? See picture with Boots logo on it.

I find the Tesco one isn't great anyway. Would love the advice!

Thank you! We've had some bad experiences so I think we're trying not to let ourselves get too excited. Going to call the GP today to see if I can get a blood test!

I'd say they were positives.

Well worth buying a clear blue that says 'pregnant'.

Without other complications very unlikely to get a blood test, the home test kits are accurate.

Congratulations

Thanks very much :) I'm type 2 diabetic and am on meds which I think I have to stop taking so I believe that said if I get a positive to let them know!

Yes definitely let them know, they just don't seem to do blood tests for pregnancy any more.

I'm waiting on results today- DD's GCSEs , crazy to think it all starts with a double pink line.

As for the indentation mark, they are super pale, your lines are not. Exciting.

Omg the best of luck to you and DD. Whatever happens, you'll both make the best of it 💓💓💓

Thanks

The worry never stops 😂. I remember clearly where you are now, worrying about everything, worrying about the right vitamins and folic acid amounts to be taking , and now it's exam results.

I know how hard it is to try and enjoy the unknown, but honestly it all goes by so quick.

I wouldn't say they are that faint, they look like good positives to me!

Thanks :) the boots one isn't but the reviews said that people kept getting indent lines and reading them as false positives!

The Tesco (second) one looked like a faint one to me?

I don't really understand the questioning, they're obvious positives! Congratulations On your BFP !

That's obviously a positive! I'd wait a a few days and take a digital test. Not heard of GPs doing blood tests but worth asking.
