Very new to all this but have seen similar threads to this before! I took a test wednesday and thought it was positive but then looking again decided it wasn’t. Done one today and can swear I can see a faint faint line!!!! What do you think??

Maybe post a picture to see if others can see a line? How late is AF?

Post a pic, OP. The more eyes the better.

My first test was a very faint line, I was convinced it was nothing but my fiancé swore blind he could see one. Of course he was right

It won't let me attach a photo! Sorry very new to mumsnet! Does anyone know when I can post a photo?

One of the three circles under the box you write in. Has a paper clip.

AF is due today/sat/sun (haven't had the most regular cycles) but have been using natural cycles for conception and think got caught on a fertile day!

I get a message that says 'new users cannot post photos immediately' I only joined today - just wanted advice without asking friends and family! Didn't wish I freak them out!!! I'll do another test tomorrow x Bear

Try again with your first mornkng weem today when you wake up. Failing that, you can always try a digital test which will literally spell it out for you.

Hey, OP - Did you take another test this morning? Smile

JustGettingStarted · 27/01/2018 11:59

If you can see a line, however faint, you're pregnant. Anything that can show up on a photo here is absolutely a positive.

DeedeeJ1 · 27/01/2018 13:02

Still won't let me post a photo which is SOOOO annoying but yes I did a first response last night and this morning both have similar faint lines... pinkish in colour but convinced they are evap lines as they didn't come up straight away within 2-3 mins came up about 5-6 mins x

Frer are accurate but for early positives they can take a few minutes for the test line to develop

JustGettingStarted · 27/01/2018 14:27

Evap lines come much later, like when it's dried out.

Paradisefinallyarrived · 27/01/2018 17:55

It sounds like a positive Smile

DeedeeJ1 · 28/01/2018 08:16

Another first response done this morning and a faint pink line, no darker than the others I have done though and clear blue digital says 'not pregnant'. So confused Confused

OP posts:
DeedeeJ1 · 28/01/2018 08:28

AF is due today

OP posts:

Clear blue is not as sensitive as first response so you will get any earlier positive with first response.

DeedeeJ1 · 28/01/2018 08:32

Do you not think the first response line should get darker? I've done 3 in the last 3 days x

It is measuring levels of hcg in your urine and it doubles every 48/72 hours so you might not notice it getting darker for a few days. If you can wait a day between testing and you might notice more of a difference. Saying that I couldn't wait and tested everyday with cheaper tests and then stopped when I got the 'pregnant 1-2 weeks' with a digital.

DeedeeJ1 · 28/01/2018 14:27

Just to add to the confusion I've down two boots early tests and they've been bfn. :(

I did an early test when I suspected "implantation bleeding" (it was a lot different to my usual period, so I thought I may have been pregnant) and it came back negative. 4 weeks later I had no period so tested again (4 times!) and got 4 positives. Maybe wait a few days if AF was due yesterday and try again.
