Very faint line?

[Horseymum2015]

Hi all, I'm new in here first ever post! My cycles are all over the place but my husband and I are trying for our second baby. Cycles have been 46 days long for the last few months but today I am on day 62!! Take three CB and all negative. This morning I took a Boots test. It was negative so I put it in the waste bin. I've just come to empty it and there is a faint line?! My eyes are not deceiving me - it's there but am I just getting my hopes up by checking it too late? Doesn't look like an evap line and I'm 13 days overdue now. What do you think?

Hmmmm. I'd say that the chances are it's an evap line (just because you'd left it so it would have been past the time limit). Maybe try again tomorrow? Some people on here seem to think some sticks are more reliable than others but I'm not sure which sorry... maybe someone will be along soon.

Good luck!

It looks like an evap to me as doesn't have much colour

Try the super sensitive ones:

But that sounds like an evap line to me, if it's showing up that much later.

Sorry to say it looks like an evap to me too, a positive would be more pink in colour.

I always use first response, they are more expensive but IMO much more reliable.

Sorry but I think an evap line too...I would expect a stronger positive result if you were 13 days overdue x

That could well be a positive. The first test (the picture of one test) I took when I would've been around 2 weeks pregnant it was very very faint like yours people told me it was most likely to be an evaporation line too as it was so faint, but I just had that gut instinct, I tested again a week later and the lines came up more clear (second picture... including the first test I took and two others a week later) Also I used the same tests as i am now 9weeks +6 days. I would say test again in a week or so and you should have your answer clearly by then! Iff you don't get the answer you wish for keep trying!! good luck.

Try a Superdrug test I've found they're the most sensitive :)

Thanks everyone I'm just being hopeful I think. I've scrutinized it in various lights and it is very pale pink. I'll wait another week and if AF hasn't shown I'll do another. I've got a docs appt on Friday about the irregular cycles anyway so I'm sure they'll put me straight. Thanks guys

If you think it's pink, I would do a first response tomorrow, or wait three days and do a digital.

Have my fingers crossed for you! It's a tough old business for some of us this baby making business

Thanks Penguinsandpebbles. I just have a feeling that I might be pregnant too. Who knows, maybe it's wishful thinking. I've seen lots of threads about people TTC who didn't get a positive for weeks and weeks after they conceived so fingers crossed. If not, I just carrying on trying I guess! X

Those tests arnt overly sensitive you should really use super drugs own brand I got a faint line 7 days after ovulation! I'm 34 weeeks now

Oh thanks Nikki2ol6! I've been past Superdrug today too. Damn it!

The first response early test also measure on 10miu, so are just as sensitive as the Superdrug early response one if you did manage to get one.

Hello everyone, thought you might like an update (or not ) I took the same brand of Boots pregnancy test about 20 mins ago. The line is darker and definitely pink. I'm nearly three weeks late - is it possible it's just taking a while for my hormones to get strong enough to show a strong positive? X

Yep completely I had the same thing,

Thanks froglou. Seems strange for me because when I got pregnant with my son I got a strong positive straight away and was being sick straight from the off! X

In case anyone reading this is in the same situation, I've done three different brands of test today now. All positive! Three weeks late and only just showing positive after lots of negatives. Baby dust to all. Cx

Wow, congratulations!

Awww congratulations. Definitely positive.

Thank you I'm sooooo happy!

When I was in the same situation(several inconclusive tests and finally a blood test to confirm!), going by my cycle, I should've been 7 weeks pregnant. I went into hospital with pains a week later and they did a scan, should've been 8 weeks, but they said I was only 6 weeks and I must've ovulated late that month. In short when I was testing I was only 5 weeks which is why they was so faint, morning sickness kicked in when I was actually 8 weeks!

Ohhhh, wonder if that's what I've done then Either way, three tests can't be wrong can they? I've been losing my mind - I was so sure I was pregnant but the tests said not until today! I had my works Christmas party on Tuesday and after a negative test on Sunday I over indulged on prosecco
