Hi all. This is my first ever post and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I ovulated on October 18 and had sex 14/17/19. My periods have been irregular since I came off the pill in July.
I have been using an app and it calculated that I should test yesterday so I did but it was negative- I woke at 5 am this morning and did this one and I thought was negative. I jumped in the shower and pottered about for probably 30 mins before going back to throw away and I saw this line! Could it be an evaporation line? I'm so confused, I want it to be +. May be worth mentioning that I feel like AF is going to arrive although have low back pain which I don't believe I usually get. Also can't figure out how to post the picture of test. The line is almost invisible! If anyone could guide me on how to get a pic up please.

If it didn't come up within the first 3 minutes, assume it's a negative until you're late.

You need to retest. Consider that one void until you get a positive within the correct time frame.

Good luck!

The test will have a timeframe (in the instructions) and the line needs to appear within that to be valid.

Retest in the morning when your pee is more concentrated Smile

Midwife so soon? They don't normally want to see you until your about 8 weeks

Omg! I am going to be a mother- what do I do now!!!

Same as the rest of us - blag it, wing it, make it up as we go along, guess... and hope our kids don't end up in therapy Grin

Congratulations OP!

Thanks for your responses. Thecatsarecrazy- I have an auto immune disease and thyroid problems as well so I need to have bloods checked every 6 weeks etc so I am seeing the midwife in 11 days to go through medications/advice etc.
