Pregnant or not?? The first two seem like duds to me. They are still pink and from the same pack. However the last 3 were done with the same wee pot…

My last period was Nov 18th

The first one seems like a broken line and second one maybe flooded (although when I’ve had a flooded one before it’s not been positive).

Digital ones are less reliable with early testing. it’s really hard to say.

When I tested I did 4 like you so I’d know if I had one dud (whether false positive or false negative) but you have 2 of each!!
Wait till tomorrow I know that’s so tough but if those are real positives then tomorrow you should have enough HCG for a positive too xx

Also just seen you are 5 and a half weeks since last period - what is normal for you as for most people that’d be pretty late. So you’d expect a positive tomorrow if genuine pregnancy.

please update! X

Wow! Thats pretty cruel if they are false positives.

@Renisenbthanks for the reply. Its been a bit of a whirlwind. I got a new box of tests yesterday and the first one I took was clearly negative. Took the other today and pretty sure its positive. It came up straight up

That test also has a lot of dye bleed. Can you get hold of a digital to confirm?

Looks good, apart from the pink behind? Or was that during the first couple of mins.

if they are clear and simple like I used they said the full time was 10 min I think and they certainly took at least 3 min to “dry” and not be all pink behind like that…

@YetegsI know its very confusing. These are all just supermarkets own brand but I got them from different supermarkets and stores 😭. I took a digital and it said not pregnant 2 days ago

@Renisenbit was the first few mins but doesnt look any different now! Il have to go to the pharmacy tomorrow. Im 8 days late on CD41!!!!! So youd think it would be showing up by now. I am cramping and have such sore boobs today. Not sure if its dodgy tests and AF is coming or early pregnancy symptoms 🤷🏻‍♀️

Try get another digital if you can and test with FMU if possible. Or even better get GP to do blood test if possible. Also maybe try collecting the sample and dipping the test in rather than holding it in the stream, as they do look flooded. Best wishes with it, let us know how it goes x

Yes as above dipping them gently into a pot to the level/for the time shown in the instructions avoids this pink flood problem.

also using a sample means you can do a few and compare - I did 2 Clear and Simple + 2 Sainsbury’s so I wouldn’t doubt the result.
all from same pot in the morning xx
