AF 3 days late and I have a very light, odd crampy pain similar to period pain. Tested on Saturday as I had a funny urge to test but no line, tested again with Tesco pregnancy test at 5am this morning and very faint line, then again at about 8am because I wanted to be sure! Again a faint line, I will post pictures.

I have been trawling mumsnet and have read that apparently ovulation tests can detect pregnancy to an extent, so me being impatient did two ovulation tests (one clear blue ovulation which came up as smiley & one pre-mom ovulation test which came up double line extra dark!)

I have never had a smiley on those tests and the cheaper strips have only given me results of 0.20 which is the highest it’s shown, today my result was 0.83 High .. is this further confirmation I am pregnant or am I getting my hopes up?!

I have another Tesco pregnancy test and Clearblue double check tests which I will use first thing tomorrow, but I wanted others thoughts now as I’m anxious and excited!!

picture 1: Tesco 5am test
picture 2: Tesco 8am test
Picture 3: clearblue ovulation and pre mom ovulation tests

Thank you

It looks as though the pictures haven’t uploaded in order.

The first are the ovulation tests
the second was 5am
third 8am

Those Tesco tests aren't even faint my love they're definitely positive! Congratulations!! They aren't the best for colour pay off in general and take a while to darken so this is a clear positive😊 If you want to do a test with better colour I recommend the Boots plastic type ones (regular, not ultra early) they've gotten nice and dark for me. Thrilled for you!

Really?! I would have said the first pregnancy test on the second picture is very faint! I’m praying tomorrow morning it’s darker 🤞🏻

Very clear lines, congratulations. I had a strong LH reading too when testing, the result of that is currently sleeping soundly next to me at 4 months old ♥️

No honestly if you try a different test you'll see what I mean, these ones are always faint!

Wow, this reassures me! I’ve had a worrying time recently due to my age and everyone around me having babies but nothing was happening with me TTC

Ok! I think I’ll use my last Tesco one tomorrow and then the clear blue on Friday … it still feels surreal. Despite me telling him numerous times, DH thinks a ‘faint’ line means it isnt 100% positive 🙄

First morning wee and I was expecting this to be much darker if I’m honest.. it’s actually a hint lighter than what it shows in the picture.. I have my last two left which are the clearblue digital … when’s the best time to do them?

Take the digital this afternoon but I would agree it does look a little lighter.

VanessaShanessaJenkins99 · 30/07/2025 08:39

Are you sure you ovulated when you think you did? If you are 4 days late the line should be darker, i would take the digital clear blue - at least it will then literally spell it out.

This mornings test! I will do the weekly indicator this evening

Yay that looks like a great line! Just be careful with the digital one if not using first morning urine, they generally need higher HCG to show as positive so don't want you to get the sting of a false negative if urine is too dilute etc.
