Am I pregnant? / advice needed

[Littlelondoner]

Back story. 10 years fertility treatment. Suffered badly with prepartum depression in my last pregnancy. Which ended traumatically.

So I am aware I maybe looking into things too much or worrying needlessly.

Only symptoms cramping on/off. Weeing loads. Tiredness.

Period over a week late. 4x negative tests so far.

Then this afternoon this...a second line.

Albeit very faint. So unsure if positive?

Slash part of me worrying that by my calcs I would be 5x weeks. If it was positive shouldnt the line be darker by now?

These cramps are also bad (granted nowhere near menstral endometritis cramps)

I am having such an anixity attack today over all this. My heads spinning.

Unsure if it is me being overly hopeful with the test or...

Here is the test (poor lighting I know sorry) I will try and take a better photo under a light.

I wouldn't say that's an overly faint line, you could have ovulated later than you think maybe? And congratulations!

I can see the second line.

Maybe give it a couple of days and take another test.

Well that's a positive pregnancy test providing you read it in the right time window and it's not faulty. I'd be inclined to do another one I think

Wishing you luck with it

Yes this was taken with in the minute.

I am going to do an other in the morning and then take it from there.

Potentially booking in drs to get bloods done.

Thanks for the advice. Was unsure if I was just seeing things.

Omg that's not at all faint for that type of test, that's really clear. With my last pregnancy I had that type of test and the second line at 14dpo was so faint my husband said he couldn't see it at all and I was imagining it. I didn't even need to zoom on my phone to see that line

That's a positive test

These tests are not quantitative so the darkness of the 2nd line means nothing.
Fingers crossed for you

Go and get a clear blue digital test, if your anything like me you won't believe anything until it's in black and white 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant'. You can also test early 5 days early, you may think you are five weeks but may only be three or four depending on when you ovulate and when conception occurred.

My tests on these tests were not much darker a week after my period. Only once I got to 6/7 weeks did they get really dark. I tested with a first response straight after I had a really really feint positive on a cheap one like that. There was no arguing with the line on the first response!!

Congratulations :)

Ahh thank you. That is reassuring to know that was my main concern was how faint it was. I guess forget how early 5 weeks is really.

I am going to order some of those 5 strip ones you can see the hormones increase on I think for my own peace of mind.

Hi... I'm about 19dpo and 4w5d pregnant... got my bfp yesterday on one of those tests and was just as faint as yours... I did some pound shop tests yesterday afternoon and this morning which were much more clear and a clear blue digital this afternoon that confirmed pregnant and conceived 2-3 weeks ago... This is my first pregnancy and I'm 37 and quite overweight so I am very, very anxious (you know too many stories of things that go wrong as you get older!) so I understand your worry - hence the number of tests (6) done in two days but things are far more likely to go right than go wrong... fingers crossed for you x

Congratulations! That's definitely positive. My cheapie tests never went dark at all and just seemed to vary between light and very light! Am now 22 weeks.

That's definitely a good positive. Congratulations. I wish you a swift and boring 9 months
