um... how faint is a faint line?

[colditz]

Did a pregnancy test this morning as period is a week late....

there is the faintest smudge where the positive line would be, so faint I'm not entirely convinced it's there.

Court of mumsnet, what do you think?

if it looks like it was there and was within the time limit then it is prob a pos..i would retest tommorow or next day to see

slight line = positive (IMO)

would be best to test again in a few days to see if its darker then.

when is af due colditz?

Sounds pretty positive... you could try a sensitive one see if it is darker?

I think the hormones are strongest in your first pee of the morning - the old tests used to require a first-morning pee. So I always used that, as it was more likely to give a clear result.

It was first morning pee, don't know whether it was in the time limit, I got distracted. If af is period, it was due a week ago!

It was a cheap test though, which test is the most sensitive?

It sounds positive to me. I'd test again in a couple of days to be sure. Is your period normally really regular?

i always have faith in clearblue digi...i used first response this pregnancy and got a negative but clearblue digi came up with pregnant..no analysing lines either

Regular as clock work. The only time my period has ever been late was when I got pregnant with ds.... line showed very very clear positive.

TMI, maybe, but I have raging thrush too. Could this have caused a late period?

I don't think thrush would. But who knows? Any other symptoms? (Are you TTC?)

I'd test again in a few days. If you're pregnant now, you'll still be pregnant then, only more so.

Colditz - I think you're pg... go get a clear blue digital.

Not TTC, but not on the pill either.. I don't mind either way!

I don't think I can wait 2 days, i really don't!

Can't think that thrush could cause this Colditz, I think the only thing that can cause a line there is the pregnancy hormone or a red pen!!

Can you get to the shops now????

toothache obsessing once again about pregnancy testing

I had this- and period arrived a few days later- I think it was a conception that didn't implant properly or something similar.

DS1 was conceived 2 months later though

It is only the faintest smudge though.

When I first did a preg test, it did the same as yours (faint line), and i was confused so I rang the helpline on the packet and they said I haven't weed on it enough. So I did another one and it was negative. Got preg a few months later though and she's now 10 months!

i got this with clear blue - a faint line - and rang docs who said i was pg. But when i went to docs a week later they did a test and it was neg. Quite relieved at time, long time ago with old boyfriend.

Colditz - I only did a preg test because was ttc, had raging thrush out of nowhere and wanted to be certain that wasn't pregnant before taking oral canestan. Baby due in 6 and a half weeks!
Very very faint line at first. Digital test resounding PREGNANT!!

Have done a first response test - resounding negative.

I don't mind, wasn't trying to conceive....but where the hell is my period? I'm never late!

Do you think you will start TTC now? Sometimes after a day like this when you've had all the "what ifs" going round in your head it pushes ya one way or the other.

Just nosey

Very astute Flamesparrow, you obviously have great understanding of people.

Yes, I am thinking about it now. Dp would be thrilled.

Hi , I'm new here so tell me to get lost if i'm butting in but if it's any help at all sprout was totally negative on a first response but she showed as a barely visible line on a cheapy boots test the same day and.. she's a beautiful 3 month baby girly now.. good luck

Argh! I so wish you hadn't daid that...

Am I going to kiss my boozy Tuesdays goodbye for 9 months?
