I got a very faint positive with a tesco own brand test, my DD is now 5 :0)
I also got faint positives very early on using pound shop tests & superdrug own brand and I'm now 28 weeks.

It depends on the level of hcg in ur urine different tests need different amounts to detect a positive x

ChallyCreaks · 19/07/2014 08:59

I can see it in the first pic but not the second one. Did you do another test this morning?

TheXxed · 19/07/2014 09:01

Thank you omg

OP maybe try a different brand tomorrow morning and see what happens.

Showy · 19/07/2014 09:02

No the more expensive ones are NOT better. In fact the cheaper ones are often more sensitive. Do not buy into clever marketing. You're paying for packaging and frills.

Pink dye is better than blue, dip into a pot, don't wee directly on the stick and use first morning urine. Money doesn't come into it.

I think there IS a faint line. Don't be disheartened. Just double check.

omgherecomesno2 · 19/07/2014 09:07

Ow yes showy has a degree in pregnancy tests :/ this is my ninth pregnancy most have failed but the point is the more expensive ones have always been the best!. But op it is your money ur piss you do what you feel is best good luck xx

louise I think you should retest good luck xx

Showy · 19/07/2014 09:39

I'm genuinely sorry for your losses. I've been pregnant several more times than I have children to show for it and also have personal experiences of pregnancy tests. In my case, the cheap tests showed positive when the expensive tests didn't and this was because the expensive ones weren't as sensitive. That's just the way they work.

My anecdotal experience is just that though. The fact remains that spending a lot of money on a test does not a better test make. Realistically, all home pregnancy tests are pretty amazing if you think about it. But if somebody is wanting to test, it's important that they know they don't need to spend £13. That's a lot of money and my sole concern always remains that vulnerable, hopeful, desperate women aren't hoodwinked into spending money they don't have because of clever marketing.

Pregnant women and mothers are always targeted by marketing and convinced they need to spend a fortune from tests to formula to nursery decorations. The marketing works, of course it does. But it is bloody annoying.

Looks like a really faint bfp to me. I'd do another test to check.

ladyflower23 · 19/07/2014 10:07

I did one like that and the line was really faint and did a first response next day and test line was the same colour as the control line. Like someone else said they really are the nuts

Wombat79 · 19/07/2014 11:46

Looks like a weak cross to me but a cross is a cross. To put your mind at rest and confirm, do a clear blue digital (if you can afford it as they are expensive). Good luck x

PresidentSpreadable · 19/07/2014 12:21

I would wait a couple of days and do another one. The tests I did like that had very clear crosses when I was about 3 or 4 days late. Or do a digi. Seeing the word 'pregnant' is much less open to interpretation!

Louiseukukuk · 19/07/2014 19:14

Updated

Took the last one of my tests (box if 2)
And here it is

I no it's negative :(

oohdaddypig · 19/07/2014 19:17

In the first photo, it is positive to me.

The other photos are blurry, on my phone anyway.

My early positive tests are like that.... Good luck!

Louiseukukuk · 19/07/2014 19:20

It's ok x

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 19/07/2014 19:23

Can you get to a shop now and get an early response one?

Then the longer you leave it before you test (without going to the loo!) the better the result will be. You need the hormone to build up in your bladder. The longer the urine stays in your bladder the more hcg will collect. That's why first thing in the morning is best.

So the second test being obviously negative, doesn't mean the first one isn't a faint line IYSWIM. There would be less hcg for the second test.

I've got my fingers crossed for you :)

Edenviolet · 19/07/2014 19:31

With all my pregnancies (6) I had false negatives initially and had to wait a few days more to get a positive.

The first response tests were always the ones I got a positive result with first. Good luck x

Louiseukukuk · 19/07/2014 19:40

Can't get to a shop that sells them now will have to be on Monday :( gutted

BlueStarsAtNight · 19/07/2014 19:43

It's very hard to tell on my phone - I strongly recommend getting a test with pink dye and trying again tomorrow though - I have had several false positives on blue dye cross type tests before where the vertical line has shown up after the 10 mins is up but it's just the dye bleeding. I don't truth at them at all. Hope you get the result you want.

Louiseukukuk · 19/07/2014 19:44

It comes up so fast as we'll :( new test I found one in my medicine cupboard ha

TheWomanTheyCallJayne · 19/07/2014 19:50

The first one looks positive. The others I'm not so sure but your urine could be weaker

Lalalax3 · 19/07/2014 21:59

That most recent one is definitely negative. Sorry. :(
If I were you I'd get a couple of digital ones to make doubly sure in future. If I had a faint line that drove me mad id use them to stop me turning myself inside out! And then, one day, that faint line turned out to be a BFP!

Southpaws · 19/07/2014 23:50

Are you using evening pee though? That can make a huge difference. I got a bfn three hours after I got a faint bfp because I had drunk 3 cups if tea. With FMU the day after I got a strong positive.
