I am in my second cycle since my MC in March. I was always 27 - 29 days regularly, even after first MC I went straight into my regualr cycle. This time it has been different. My first cycle after MC was 33 days and tody I am cd31. I always get sore chest just before my af, but I have nothing at the moment.

I just have one test stick left from a set of 5 from the internet. (I have not bought any more as I can not buy them very easily here in Spain and they are very expensive.

I am really confused as I am not sure if I have even OV'd this month either.

Does anyone have any ideas what to do. Should I risk using my last test stick or wait. It is possible to be pregnant without any sore chest of any other symptoms of pregancy.

Thank you.

Still had another look. It has now dried out and is dark purple the same as the other, but the indication of a positive is very very faint still. I can see if from 12 inches away now, rather than by looking in the sunlight. My neighbours must be wondering what I am doing.

DH is calling a different Doctor, but he only works at 6.00pm. He is trying to ask receptionist what they do about testing.

Now really confused and think I should have waited.

If it were on 10 minutes would this still be an evaporation line. Some say after 30 minutes even.

I think you might be pregnant

I second a visit to the doc's though.

Evaporation lines don't generally have colour to them. If the line was there at 10 minutes then it's a faint positive. After 10 and it appears probably evap. but I've always found then to be greyish or like a white ghost line.

If the test has picked up any colour it has detected hcg in your urine.

Good luck at the doc's, it sounds hopeful.

The stick is very tiny. I is 4 inches long with a little line for dipping to. It looks like a lolly stick according to my daughter.

A sudden rush of burgundy went up to the next filter (slightly extra thickness to stick. I waited but nothing appeared until 11 minutes. I was sure I could see where the line should have been, so I got out an old stick and looked. You could that the lines although one very very faint was in line with the other. The colour of the line was still pink eventhough hardly there at all.

After a while the lines were the same and still dark burgundy. After 35 minutes, the main line is now dark purple and the other is very very faint lilac.

I have emailed the company I bought them from and are waiting for a reply.

I have an appointment later with the nurse, but I will not have a sample to take with me. So we are trying to move it until tomorrow morning when I can take a sample with me from first thing.

I am so nervous that I can not clean the house today. Good excuse not to do anything. I still wish I had waited. I am not sure what came over me to suddenly want to test. I had a very strange feeling and went and did it without thinking. I think.

Squack, Thanks for information.

Just wondered if evap line that was greyish or ghost like becuase of the colour of the dye in the test stick. For example, grey with a blue one and pale pink with a burgundy one.

Just wondered. Still in debate as to whether or not a positive result. No conclusion drawn yet.

Going to Doctors in ha an hour with old tests.

Back and wanted to update.

Had a test by a company called clearview. Not sure of how sensative the test was in Doctors, but it is the one that they use. This test was a casette type.

The result was read after 5 minutes and to her surprise she said there was a very faint second blue line.

To be sure she has given me another testo do at home when I feel ready.

Now after half an hour there is the same lines although both a little faded now.

Fingers crossed for my second test at the weekend.
