HELP, HELP - JUST DONE A PG TEST AND NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK!!!

[tigerbear]

If anyone is still up and has any advice, please help!
I've just done a pg test (First Response) and there are def two lines, but the one on the left is MUCH lighter than the one on the right, which is the one shown on the indicator as the 'not pg' line. I've thrown the instructions away, and can't remember if the faint line was there on tests I've done in the past. I really want to be pg, so maybe it's wishful thinking that I'm hoping the one line light, one dark means that I am!

So so sorry. Perhaps they use hyper sensitive tests in the EPU?

Oh dear, so sorry tigerbear. You must be feeling dreadful - to get a positive result when you are desperate to conceive and then find this out is like a bereavement. Don't feel a fraud. But do take some time to grieve and perhaps pamper yourself a little.

Hi Tigerbear,

Just wanted to say sorry you have gone through this, and that exactly the same thing happened to me. I did a test in the middle of a cycle as I 'felt' pregnant. It was a faint positive, so I did a CB digital, and it said 1 - 2 weeks pregnant. I sort of knew it couldn't be true, but got my hopes up anyway! Went to the doc and she said to wait for my period, and if it didn't arrive to test again. Well, a week later I did another CB digital, and it still read 1-2 weeks pregnant, so my hormone levels weren't going up. Eventually my period arrived, and then I finally got a negative test. Was very frustrating as I'd been trying for a long time and had already had miscarriages. But, good news is that I did get pregnant a couple of months later, and so far that's going well. So don't be too despondent, good luck with things going better next time. xx

Thanks for posting everyone.
Countrybump - glad it's working out for you now.
How long to go?

I am so sorry and i truly mean it and understand, i have had 2 miscarriages one at 12 weeks and one at 5 weeks and altho the last was very early, it doesn't matter. You have this excitement and plans and when it goes wrong its still devastating. Right now talk to your dh and i know this sounds lame but eventually you will get pregnant and will be fine, looking back now i seem to have had miscarriages after having stopped the pill.

Is this your first pregnancy, i am here whenever you need to chat x x

Hi Tigerbear, only three weeks to go for me now. I really hope things work out for you soon. Trying to have a healthy baby is such an emotional rollercoaster, but it seems to me that once you get on it you just can't get off! xx

Countrybump - that is amazing, only 3 weeks to go. It's nice to hear happy stories! Good luck!

Loyi71 - thanks for your kind message, and sorry to hear you have had 2 mc's, that is awful. I'm not feeling too bad today, just trying to get on with things. Yes, this was my first pg, and I was sooo excited when I saw the positive tests (all 6 of them!). Couldn't really believe it when they said the test was neg at the hospital.

Ilovemydogandmrobama (I think you win prize for best MN name!) and Can'tthinkoffunnyname - thanks for posting. What's odd is that I don't think they actually use super sensitive tests at the EPU, quite the opposite. I did a CB digi when I got home last night which still said positive (but gone down to 1-2 weeks, when it was 2-3 weeks on Monday), and did a crappy Superdrug own brand today, which came up positive too. I'm not hopeful that I actually still am pg though - I just think the hormone is still there, but decreasing. Shows that the EPU tests must be pretty rubbish though, if even a Superdrug test can detect a small amount of the hormone and they can't...

hi just wanted to really see how you were doing now thats all x
