Feint positives for 4 days

Hello all I have regular periods 26/27 day cycle and 4 days late.

I got the Salisbury tests and all of them are feint positives and now I've read these tests give false positives my brain is all over the place.

Are the feint lines an indication of chemical or these tests are just unreliable?

I’d just take a digital. If you’re 4 days late and if the other tests are real positives it will show on a digital. Unfortunately no one can say for definite if you’re pregnant or not. So I’d just use a digital.

Sainsburys tests should be banned. I once did 2 tests from two different packets with the same pee and got 2 different results

Just look at the reviews on their own website!

Good luck

Agreed. They are shockingly bad, I barely get a line on them at 5 weeks but got a dye stealer on a frer!

I’d always say check with another brand, if two different brand tests are reading as positive it’s unlikely to be a false positive.

In regards to a chemical, for me personally faint lines not getting darker for 4 days, they were chemicals. BUT… I have seen others where they’ve had that and then progressed and baby has stuck.

Get another brand, plus maybe a digital! Good luck! 🤞🏻 Update us if you’re able!

Take the early boots pregnancy tests - they’re the best. Especially for seeing progression.

@RoseannesMamma @Plumchumm I got into a panic after reading the Mumsnet reviews so went out and got Clear Blue that confirmed pregnancy 😍
