hi everyone. im due on Friday but have a awful feeling I could be pregnant.

dh has had snip but I have been pregnant 4 times and sometimes its just unmistakable.
im hoping im wrong but here goes.

I have taken 3 first responses tests. all have dark tips at top and bottom and a fainter line through.

sainsburys own test keeps coming up with a dark but skinny line- I have read about these and apparently mostly negatives.

so today I trotted to the shop bought a 2 pack got my mum who is def bot pregnant too pee on one and I did other
. again the skinny line comes up for me nothing for mum.

im not talking anymore tests anymore im driven demented.

anyone had any of these and been negative ir positive?

dh is booked in for a check for his semen tom to double check

I'd be really surprised if these aren't positive. I've broken open loads of tests in my time and have never seen a line unless I was pregnant or it was a digital

Yeah mine were all skinnier, I remember being on a ttc forums panicking about it as iv miscarried before and was worried they weren't gettin darker, also I had a 1st response one first n that came back negative, n then my internet cheapies showed the really faint positive (won't lie, was a poas addict) but like I say iv never seen an evaporation line, so I can't say that urs arnt evap lines, however I believe that evaporation lines are usually colourless rather than pink or blue so I dunno if that may help... I'm no expert tho so I'm really sorry if that info is incorrect! I had a quick google n it says about colourless lines here:

Depends on what time you get the bloods done and where they send it to be tested. At my docs results are same day if you go in the morning

I hope you get some clear answers. I did cheap internet tests two days before I was due really feint line next morning first wee of the day i did a Clear blue digital and was quick to come up 2-3 weeks pregnant so in my experience it would have picked up on the hcg hormone unless you ovulated late and its just not strong enough hopefully you will get an answer one way or another in a day or two

hi everyone .. long week if stress has ended. we have a very very heavy period that has just started!

I have since wrote a letter to first response and sainsburys regarding there tests! I did a first response and sainsburys this morning and didn't open and again same lines!

angry with myself for kind if believing them and making my poory dh send a sample off. Also angry all the stress we have been through all week and if any couple desperately wanted a baby would get lines like that, the heartbreak would be awful.

any who im stuffing myself with chocolate and sitting here feeling so relieved that I don't have a awful decision to make.

so glad you have answers and are relieved. Chocolate is surely medicinal at times like this.
