Multiple faint positives

156 replies

cherubtastic · 21/04/2008 21:31

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???

Yes pics are the same test.

I am skint now so can't really afford to buy a CB and it bugs me paying that much money to pee on lol.

The faint positives that you have had weren't wrong. They have to detect that certain amount of HCG to show a positive, false positives (other than with certain cancers and fertility treatments) just don't exist.

I was convinced I couldn't be pregnant with DS2 when I was a week late and still getting BFN's, but I most definately was!

I think you need to cautiously think of yourself as being pregnant, beg/borrow/steal a HPT (I can send you a couple of eBay cheapies if you want it?) and do it in a couple of days time. The main thing you have to do is try to relax a bit, if you are pregnant (which I think is an almost certainty) then the stress really won't do any good, and if your not pregnant, then it will only delay things even more.

How easy is it for me to sit here telling you to relax?!! I know I would (and have been!) as stressed about it all as you are now, but do try to find something that will take your mind off of it for a while, read a book, get a good DVD on, eat copious amounts of chocolate, anything that will make you feel good, if only for half an hour.

NJ...I am pretty chilled now, got a bit mad for a while there, as i have said i am not TTC and not sure how i feel if i am tbh, its not that i desperately want to be pg, its just not having an answer so i can sort how i feel out.

NatalieJane · 24/04/2008 14:14

I know what you mean, had a similar experience back in January it ended in MC though, well in fact it didn't end in MC, it ended in us deciding to TTC for DC3!!

Hopefully you will know one way or another by the end of the week

sureitsno3 · 24/04/2008 14:16

Thanks NJ, for being here to get me through this madness and for coming back to the thread, you have been lovely.

NatalieJane · 24/04/2008 14:21

LOL

Nope I am just your average MN stalker

I love the Am I/Aren't I threads, except when I am the OP!!

Squackycake · 24/04/2008 14:23

So do I NJ

I hope you get the answers you are looking for Sure.

sureitsno3 · 24/04/2008 14:24

Infact, i have just seen the AIBU thread, and seems i am getting on peoples nerves so not going to post here about this anymore, and i know it probably not all about me but i think it has stemmed from my threads about this subject.

You know what i don't get? is if people are being annoyed by this am i? aren't i? then why read/post on it?.

sureitsno3 · 24/04/2008 14:25

Thanks to you as well Squakeycake, you have been lovely too.

Disenchanted · 24/04/2008 14:26

I have a midwives test you can have if you want? My mum works with them and they are always passing them onto her

sureitsno3 · 24/04/2008 14:27

Oh god, you are been really sweet too disenchanted.

No its ok, just going to leave it now, wait until next week, thanks for the offer though.

NatalieJane · 24/04/2008 14:32

Sure, I saw the thread as well, and just as with everything people are entitled to their own opinions, and I agree if you don't like, or want, to read/post the threads, then don't.

But I really don't think that thread was directed at anyone personally, I think the OP was just trying to maybe help others that are in similar situations get their heads around it all.

I think the more involved you get with MN and TTC'ing, the more you feel like you have to conform to what other people do. Some TTC'ers will test with every wee from 10dpo, some won't test till they are a week late, each to their own I say.

Don't feel like you can't post about it all though, through all of the madness of the 'am I/aren't I' threads, the fact that you have got somewhere you can come and unload everything is a lifeline, it is up to individuals as to whether or not they use it, or if they feel that ignoring it as best as they can is a better route for them.

sureitsno3 · 24/04/2008 14:37

NJ...I know, i am completely pissed off with it all atm.

Tbh i am hoping i am not pg really, just wish my AF would come, but i will let you know what happens either way.

YouCantTeuchThis · 24/04/2008 14:51

Sureitsno3 - I hope you get an answer soon, but don't feel like you can't post. That is the purpose of MN and, although we definitely learn from others experiences, sometimes they just are not relevant!!

You are late, you have had multiple faint positives on different brands...that is a quandary worthy of consideration and scrutiny!!

There is no bloody rule book for ttc-ing!!

sureitsno3 · 24/04/2008 14:53

Ahhh Teuch...you have been really kind too, you have all been really nice

I am just really frustrated.

YouCantTeuchThis · 24/04/2008 14:55

And...can I add to your list of symptoms?

Feeling queasy, loads of CM and a wee bit emotional?

Yes, we are all very lovely so don't stay away!!

Squackycake · 24/04/2008 15:46

Sure you post all you like, it's what MN is here for

I don't think the thread was aimed at you, you're probably at the recent end of a few "am i? aren't I?" threads.
AND pg makes you maybe a bit more sensitive to such things... maybe.
BUT I love 'em all.

Blimey wait until NJ starts, boy does she know how to start threads . Her labour one and more recently bizarre large tummy threads are mumsnet classics now. I can say that because she randomly wanks at me

We can give our experiences as much as we like, some people choose to listen, others don't and go round in circles until an answer shows itself. Either way it's their prerogative

sureitsno3 · 24/04/2008 16:25

Pmsl @ randomly wanks at me

sureitsno3 · 24/04/2008 16:26

I will start a thread with all your names in when i know for definate

NatalieJane · 25/04/2008 09:16

LMAO at randomly wanking at you or [wank] not sure now LOL

Anything this morning Sure? I am on a need to know mission I'm affraid, so list all your symptoms please

YouCantTeuchThis · 25/04/2008 09:31

Oh, I see NJ beat me to it! How you doin this morning?

NatalieJane · 25/04/2008 09:33
Grin
sureitsno3 · 25/04/2008 09:46

Hello you two!

I am ok, still no AF, all the same as before really, ho hum.

Haven't done a test, not going to now until Sun/Mon.

Thanks for asking

NatalieJane · 25/04/2008 09:50

You are being very good!

Does your DP/H know anything about what's going on? What does he say?

sureitsno3 · 25/04/2008 13:52

He knows, hasn't said much really. Just got to see if i am first.
