I tested on Tues and got a faint positive, next day it was -ive. I have tested again on Fri and Sun and again this eve and they are all faint +ives but dont really seem to be getting stronger. Do you think this is odd or a problem???

The not knowing is the worst bit (along woth knowing you are but not being able to prove it to anyone). What time of day did you take the test which is the bottom photo sureitsno3? Thats a strange looking one isn't it - all the others I have seen of yours looked def BFP to me. So you are one day late now then?

sureitsno3 · 21/04/2008 22:12

That was a afternoon one, there is still a very faint line but lighter than the other(s).

I worked it out and either due on yesterday or today, no sign yet!

sureitsno3 · 21/04/2008 22:13

Also that pic was taking definately within the 5 mins as you can see it is still wet looking, and pink...god knows!

SelfishBitch · 21/04/2008 22:15

God woman that is a blatant line, mine were nowhere near that visible. YES YOU ARE PREGNANT!!

misdee · 21/04/2008 22:16

sureitsno3 yes yu are pregnant!

BigBadMouse · 21/04/2008 22:20

Sureitsno3 - methinks you are in a strange, pregancny-hormone induced, mixture of certain denial.

When is the digital test going to arrive - I don't think I can wait until Friday to find out. 3 will be great (no one say otherwise or I shall have a breakdown )

sureitsno3 · 21/04/2008 23:12

I suppose i am in a bit of denial, sorry for the delay just popped round my mums i ordered the digital today so should come either tomorrow or Weds i would have thought.

I am scared of having 3, plus i had a horrific c section last time, and it would definately mean another, plus we have only just booked a holiday, plus edd if i am is 31st Dec which means a section the week before BINGO xmas rubbish for my 2 dc.....i could go on and on and on

BigBadMouse · 21/04/2008 23:26

Don't worry about all that just yet, if you are pregnant you'll have plenty of time to sort out all the worries .

There are loads of threads on here about how 3 is better than 2 (I've been reading them a lot of late ). A good friend of mine had her (unplanned) baby on boxing day last year - her other DC thought it was great even though he is a clingy one and they suspected problems would occur (plus she got out of cooking christmas dinner that year too).

Anyway, I'm off to bed to get listen to DD2 constantly coughing and not get a wink of sleep. Will stalk catch you later no doubt

good luck cherubtastic - sorry for the hijack

sureitsno3 · 21/04/2008 23:27

Have added a pic of the FR now, not sure if i can see a line or not

Sorry cherub i seem to have taken over this thread, all helps with your situation too seeing as though we are in the same boat, let me know how your test goes in the morning?

sureitsno3 · 21/04/2008 23:29

Thanks BBM, i know the feeling re the coughing, my 2 have had nasty colds and have the hacking cough now.

The cheap ones are only £2.60 for 10, certainly not minted

cherubtastic · 22/04/2008 07:10

Really dont know now. Just tested (managed to last 3.5 hours without going to the loo lol) the dip test one came up straight away but looks like your 2nd pic, same as the other times. Just done the Boots one (wasnt a digi) and nothing on that.

Im being a bit paranoid as in one of the test booklets it says that it could be a sign of eptopic pg or impending m/c

I am basing my OV on the day that I had ewcm - would that be right? If not maybe I'm not due when I thought

NorthernLurker · 22/04/2008 07:32

when is period due going by your last cycle dates?

NatalieJane · 22/04/2008 07:39

Sorry for coming in late but you can info on using OPK'S as HPT's on POAS.com, not sure what it says about doing it, I've never read it, just know the info is there!

And Sureit'sno.3 I can only see a line on the middle test, but that would have been enough for me!!

Cherub, a line is a line, as long as it has some colour, and it came up within the time limit, it is a line. And FWIW, test's that don't get darker doesn't mean impending MC or anything like that, different tests (even out of the same multipack) have slightly different sensitivities, your urine will sometimes be more concentrated than others, and really testing before your period is due you are only ever going to get very faint lines, some people will only start to get faint lines even 4, 5 or 6 days after their period is due! I didn't get one till I was 9 days late with DS2!!

I think the main thing you have to be prepared for with early testing is a CP, these are very common, but would normally go completely un-noticed.

Anyway, the pair of you, give it a few days (yeah right!!) then get a couple of FR HPT's, do them as you should with FMU, and get the right answer instead of all the 'maybe lines'

cherubtastic · 22/04/2008 07:39

Before DS 23 days. Post DS, anything from 14(!?) till, well, currently on CD41!

Got ewcm on 8th April although for some reason thought it was the tues before, hence testing from last Tues

cherubtastic · 22/04/2008 07:42

Thanks NatalieJane. I know it just a waiting game really but I'm just sooooooooooooooooo impatient

OP posts:
NorthernLurker · 22/04/2008 07:43

Gosh - that does make it tricky to know doesn't it? But it definately sounds like you are now late - but perhaps not very late - Natalie Jane is right - I would try to leave it another day or two and test again.

NatalieJane · 22/04/2008 07:58

Why is it I can always give other people the advice to wait it out, all nice and sensilbly, but when it is ME testing with every wee I always find something to make me do the next test? My most favourite excuse.... "It's CD4 surely there must be something there by now!!"

sureitsno3 · 22/04/2008 13:50

So i caved and bought a clearblue, guess what?

Another faint line... see pics again people

NatalieJane · 22/04/2008 13:57

I can see it

Congrats (again!!) When are you going to believe it?!!

sureitsno3 · 22/04/2008 13:58

NEVER! well may believe it when i am in labour

sureitsno3 · 22/04/2008 13:59

Still faint though

I do trust the CB much more than those crappy cheapie ones.

ScoobyDoo · 22/04/2008 14:01

I must be reading the tests wrong is there not supposed to be a cross in the first box? looks like neg to me.

The one below the first test what is the instruction, one line or 2 lines?

NatalieJane · 22/04/2008 14:04

It is always difficult to show a faint line on a computer, peoples monitors will have different colour/contrast type settings so what one can see, other's can't.

But I can deffo see a vertical line forming the cross shape on the CB.
