Right. I realise this is going completely and utterly against everything that this thread stands for, and I also realise that I am being naive and an idiot and you're all going to think I'm an utter mentalist. But something weird has just happened and I need your help.
I ordered some cheap early testing kits from ebay, and they arrived today. I am working from home, and, as I've only ever tested with expensive ones bought from Boots before (a couple of times in the past when I was definitely not ttc but worried I might be pg), these looked very different. So I thought, as they're only 10p each, I would do one, just to practise, so that whenever I'm really testing I won't get all tangled up in instructions. This, I realise, was completely mental, but it's done now...
Anyway, I followed the instructions exactly and there is a faint, but definitely visible and complete, pink line next to the control line, which is darker. I do not see how this can be possible as I have been on the pill for eleven years and never been pregnant (despite aforementioned mishaps) and I have now been off it for only eleven days. I finished it at the end of a packet so this includes the seven days I would usually not take it. So really it has only been four days. Surely this cannot be??? I didn't forget it during the last month at any time, I don't think...
I'm not on medication, I don't have a medical condition, I did the test properly and checked it at the right time. But I really don't think I can be pregnant.
Am I just doing something stupid? This is exactly what you get for getting ahead of yourself. I'm not obsessed, though, - it was just a stupid act of curiosity. Plus I was desperate for the loo when I did it and I've got nothing left to test again! Could I have just made a mistake? Do the ebay cheapies give you false positives? Help!
