What brand of test are you using?

cherrypiepie · 30/10/2020 07:01

Did they do a blood test for pregnancy or just to rule out other causes of the tiredness?

You could post a pic of the test here or in the conception board.

Some brands are more reliable than others

I've used the strip ones and the plastic ones the doctor didnt give me a reason for my tiredness and dizzyness he just said bloods are normal as far as I'm aware he didnt check for pregnancy

You could try a first response early response test (FRER). That will detect low levels of HCG. If that is positive then try a clear blue digital with the weeks on.

It really does depend on brand, not type. And the dye colour.

Or just contact midwife for booking in appointment and see what they say.

I got false positives on the cheap plastic and strip tests from the internet
I deffo wasn't pregnant

Comps83 · 30/10/2020 08:35

I second a FRER , worth the money to put your mind at rest
Buy one today and do first thing in the morning
