I tested on a hunch at 11dpo, and got very very faint "is it there or isnt it" lines on several different IC. Then yesterday I did a couple more tests and got almost nothing, so chalked it up to bad tests. Then this morning, the witch didnt arrive as I expected, so I peed on some more, and got more lines, darker (I think) than 11dpo. So I did a clearblue +/- test and there is a definite line, but its really skinny, not fat so I'm doubting its real. I dont know how I can be pregnant, as DH has had the snip almost 2 years ago, we did have sex the day I ovulated (I keep a close watch on my cycle as its irregular and I like to know when to expect AF) so I suppose there is a microscopic chance.

what do you think? am I just getting dud tests?

green ones are def. hpt, my OPK's are navy blue handles.
I could see the lines on the IC really clearly IRL, but the clearblue I had down for an error/evap due to the thin line.
I dunno whats going on. Still no sign of AF, spotting has totally stopped, and no cramping yet. I dont really want to spend £10 on a digi test when I have plenty of IC's which will tell me the same thing eventually if you see what I mean. I suppose I'll have to sleep on it and see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully not AF!

Hang in there faddle.My faint line (that my GP refused to confirm due to incredibly low levels of hcg!)is now the eldest of 3!
Every day you're pregnant,the levels increase so test away.
Best of luck faddle.I'll be thinking of you.

sorry, didn't mean to doubt you. It's just that mine are green for ov and blue for preg.(different make)

Will keep an eye on your thread and keep fingers crossed. How great if you don't have to do the reversal.

Good luck.

well still no sign of AF and no spotting or cramping since yesterday. my BB's are a bit less sore though. I'm starting to doubt myself and wonder if I got my ovulation day wrong.

the lines on the green tests are the control lines to let you know they are working (i have used these) i cant see any other lines sorry.....maybe wait (i know impossible!) a few days to see how the bleeding is/if you get any more then test again with a different make.

Good luck x

Any news faddle?

Havingkittens · 17/05/2010 00:20

I agree, the green ones are opks in my experience. Although I have heard of opks being used as hpts (see peeonastick.com).

When my AF was due last month I did two tests on the blue internet cheapie test sticks and got lines that were just about perceptible to the human eye so I did a digital and it came up as 'pregnant'. It will give you a definitive answer rather than torturing yourself with uncertainty and running back to the bathroom every 20 minutes so check whether you're seeing things or not.

I can see two lines on both the green ones.

liahgen66 · 17/05/2010 11:43

Green here for OPK and Blue fot HPT too

Sorry but the green lines are in completely the wrong places to be pos lines, they would be much closer to the control lines,

cant see anything extra on the CB i'm afriad

Sorry,
