Well i haven't got a clue what is going on, still no AF and did a cheapie test this morning and got another faint line, surely it should be alot darker now?

Any ideas anyone?

I would go to the GP tomorrow and ask for a blood test,

take the tests with you and tell him many people you show'd the test at the time agreed it was +.

I was sure you would have gotten a BFP by now.

NatalieJane · 27/04/2008 15:03

OK firstly, according to FF, most women do always have a small amount of hCG in their urine, anything up to 2.5, anything over 5 is considered to be pregnancy.

Secondly yes a BFP will get darker, (my very very faint BFP from DS2 is now very very dark, although that is more than 2 years old!)

Don't worry what the pictures look like, as has been said monitor, and even the transfer of pictures will all take away the clarity.

You should go by the test stick in front of you (within the time limit) if you see a line, it is positive.

For the record I can see faint lines on both the CB's.

Ok will go to GP in the morn, what happens with blood tests?

How long does that take for results to come back?

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 27/04/2008 15:07

You have 2 blood tests (either 2 or 3 days apart, can't remember which now ) they will record the amount of hCG, if it doubles (or there abouts) then it is considered a viable pregnancy, though there have been cases where the hCG hasn't doubled and still things have been fine.

How many weeks would you be now, if you are pregnant?

NatalieJane · 27/04/2008 15:09

You need to read this. It explains how false positives are nigh on impossible.

snorris · 27/04/2008 15:10

TBH honest I got a very faint +ve with clearblue-so faint it almost wasn't there. I've found supermarket own brands reliable (Tesco/Asda) and they're cheap too,about £5 for two.

Well my last AF was 25th March, so would be 5 weeks on Tues (if i am, which i don't think i am !).

OP posts:
snorris · 27/04/2008 15:12

If you like,as a control,I'll get some poundland cheapies and see how dark a line I get (about 7 weeks pg).

NatalieJane · 27/04/2008 15:14

You had better bloody be after all of this!!

Well I think you have a choice, either go to docs this week, or wait another week and go straight to EPU for a scan. I suppose that all depends on your state of mind, I'd have been banging the GP's door down by now! (She says, I actually wouldn't, am a bit of a stuburn mule, will only go to GP's when my head is falling off!)

Disenchanted · 27/04/2008 15:14

snorris, i posted abouve a photo of my cheapie test at 6 weeks, theres barely a line, but the midvies one showed a great line.

I would get a tescos own too

Snorris...Thats very sweet of you, but don't want you to go to any trouble.

This is what i just don't get, if i am, and i am almost 5 weeks i would have a strong line, instead of these piddily, not sure if they are there, lines.

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 27/04/2008 15:16

I didn't get any line at all, not even a faint one for 9 days after my period was due, it all depends how long it takes for hCG to build up in the urine.

sureitsno3 · 27/04/2008 15:17

Also now, i am not even certain they were faint lines, dh is as blind as a bat and says he can;t see anything, i think i can see something, so thats why i have taken pics to see what everyone on here could see.

OP posts:
snorris · 27/04/2008 15:19

But I have heard it's possible not to get a +ve line at all. I know of somebody who's never got a +ve when she was pg with her 4th child

Bloated

Oh and LOADS of cramping, quite bad at times, for the past week.

Also have felt starving all the time.

I DO NOT want to be pg really, so how can i be imagining all this.

OP posts:
iliketosleep · 27/04/2008 15:23

I have been following your threads and thought it was about time to add

I had exactly the same tests as you last november and had the exact faintness on them! I took it as i was pg so left testing again for another week or so (m/c in september so was very on edge)

I then got a VERY strong line!!

But work this out......

I got my not so bfp on the 30th of november and had my scan on the 19th january and they put me at 9+5 which made me about 2 weeks and 5 days pg when i got my very faint positive.

Could be same in your situation. Try testing again in a week, but i would say your tests are positive

NatalieJane · 27/04/2008 15:24

Simple answer, you're not imagining it!

iliketosleep, thanks for adding your experience, pretty sure everyone is pretty bored by all this now

Disenchanted · 27/04/2008 15:30

I wouldn't go by dates!

Im completely miffed as I think i was 20dpo and getiing negatives...

I cant work out WHEN i concieved,

most online calculators say it was on the week we wre on holiday with my parents... we didn't so much as hold hands the whole week!

YouWillBeDeleted · 27/04/2008 15:30

I have always got faint lines on cb and superdrug own brands when i've not been pregnant. The only tests i've ever found to give a definate yes or no is Predictor (the pink dot one) they fade completely if its negative so theres no squinting for lines. Hope you get the result you want.

Lulumama · 27/04/2008 15:31

sureitsno3, you say , '
I DO NOT want to be pg really''

so , if this is a BFP, are you continuing with the pregnancy, am a little confused. you seem to be desperate for a BFP though. sorry if i am missing something

sureitsno3 · 27/04/2008 15:34

Lulu... It would be bad timing if i am pg, not really sure how i feel, but already have 2 dc and had a bad time with my youngest in pregnancy and with the birth.

It wouldn't be the end of the world if i am, i wouldn't have a termination if thats what you mean, but it just isn't planned.

It not having a definate answer that is driving me loopy.
