So I'm actually a week early in testing. But have felt sooo pregnant with lots of symptoms. This would be dc4 an I have 'known' every time before af has been due.
Anyhow I've stupidly been testing like mad. One sainsburys test def shows a faint line but every other one has been negative :( the waiting is driving me crazy! So is it a v early bfp and rest if tests are just not as sensitive? Or a duff test?! I have read lots about sainsburys tests being rubbish but then again... A lines a line right?!

a line is a line. I don't think you get false positives, only false negatives. I think you are up the duff!! I would order some internet cheapies, and test again once they arrive in a few days time. Or better still wait till your period is actually late.

Tentative congratulations I think.....

Thank you ooh it's far too exciting! I am impatient at the best of times and this is totally bringing out the worst in me :D

A line is a line. Maybe retest in the morning just to verify? Sounds like congratulations are in order!

What about the neg ones? I'm ashamed to tell you how many... There are LOTS! Why only one + but sooooo many - ?

Were they done with later urine? A different brand / batch? Have you drunk more to get more wee to test with ( and therefore diluted it too much)?

Hmm maybe I have gone a bit poas-crazy last couple if days. Rather pointlessly as its clearly far too early really x

I don't like the whole "a line is a line" thing. Whist it is technically true, if it is very faint, it could be like one I had when my period arrived 3 days later.

The only way to know is to rein in the excitement and wait for a week. Difficult as that is!! :) Good luck :)

I have been going through this recently. Get a first response early test. It is the best xx

I found the asda ones were earliest for me x

angryangryyoungwoman · 30/10/2013 15:37

....and I'm 37 weeks now. Very faint line like you at first!

Katylou3684 · 30/10/2013 15:50

I had a super faint line the day before my period was due, that was with a cheap wilkinsons test, I also did a clearblue one and got a negative, I'm now 29 weeks! :-) x

SinisterSal · 30/10/2013 15:52

I had a very faint line too. So faint you could only see it at certain angles

Am most cheered by all your (bf) positive stories Grin

I came on here and asked exactly the same thing 22-ish weeks ago. A line was indeed a line! However, I felt a LOT better about it when I got the unequivocal 'Pregnant' on the Digi.

neversleepagain · 30/10/2013 19:56

My line(s) many tests were so faint that DP didn't believe it was positive. My twins are now 13 months old.

Congratulations :)

Update! I have done tests since and they've all been negative but am now on day 27 and usually (not always) have cycle of approx 31-33 days so it's poss I have been testing too soon of course.
This afternoon though I have had light pink/brown dischargey spotting which has now stoppe so am hoping its implantation bleeding???

But also feeling a bit crampy too which perhaps isn't a good thing :( ad is never ever ever early. Also if it is implantation spotting how long might I have to wait now before a bfp would show up does anyone know?

OP posts:
bonzo77 · 06/11/2013 14:48

I don't know about implantation bleeding. Or how long till a BFP. but I definitely had period type cramping during implantation with all 3 of my pregnancies.

I'd lay off the testing now till the day your period is actually late. If you can!

kasareem · 07/11/2013 21:01

I had implantation bleeding on Monday, tested on Sunday morning and got a very very feint line...tortured myself for the next few days with feint lines but eventually got a proper bfp today! Wish I'd waited till af was late to test and saved myself the stress though :)

kasareem · 07/11/2013 21:04

Sorry, meant to say it sounds very promising and good luck for testing! I would wait a week after possible implantation bleeding to test (if you can!)
