Hi,
This is my first post, I would like some advice if possible.

My period is usally 5 days, it started monday afternoon but stopped suddenly wednesday. I had no period for 24hrs then I had what I would call "old bleeding" on and off today.

I feel nauseas so I did a pregnancy test, I was expecting a negative to be honest but there seems to be the very faintest, barely there line?

Could I be pregnant even though I had a short normal looking period, has anyone else experienced this and if it is not pregnancy related does anyone perhaps know the cause?

Thanks B. xx

Well we class a faint line as pregnant in A and E so I would say yes. Congratulations if you are.

Is there any news?

Hi Peeps!

Thanks for the messages! :-)

I'm totally stumped, I did another test this morning (5.30) and one just now, both are negative. :-(

Not sure what to think now? Can only assume it was an evaporation mark?

I had another look at the original test this evening (just incase I was imagining things) although the line is ultra faint but you can still see it?

I showed it to the hubby as he said I was acting a bit weird lol, he said he can see a very faint line too.

No idea what to think? shrugs

I guess something is wrong with the original test?

Any suggestions? :-D

I suppose I will have to accept I am not pregnant yet and keep trying.

Thank you all for being so supportive. xxxx

I wouldn't give up yet. Wait 3 days and retest with a pink dye test.
If its not to be this time then very best of luck with ttc.

Totally possible. I'm 6 weeks now but had spotting for a day then heavier next day when period due. suddenly All stopped. 2 days later did test. Faint but there. Got stronger test and line defo there. Took me another week to get positive in docs, so I would wait before you go to docs for a few days! Good luck.

Definitely wait a few days and invest in an early detection test. They all range in sensitivity so one may give you a negative, another a positive. One way or another you will find out soon enough although it may feel like a lifetime waiting. Best of luck. X

Thanks everyone, I'm going to wait a week and then test again.

I don't feel like myself, nothing I can put my finger on though, maybe it's wishful thinking. xx
