Blue dye tests

32 replies

Mjsmama4 · 20/07/2018 16:31

So I have taken around 20, yes 20!!! Pregnancy tests, both blue and pink dye. Only the blue dye shown me a positive, all of the pink dye tests(just cheap ones no fr)shown negative. All of the blue tests, including a clear blue pee stick shown positive within the time frame given. Has this ever happened to anyone? With my lb the pink dye test shown positive straight away. I have a scan booked in next week. Just feel ashamed if I'm not pregnant. Been experiencing ache in my lower tummy like my uterus is stretching but I keep thinking I'm imagining it. HELP!!!

When was AF due? I've read that blue tests can give more false positives and pink dye more reliable but never experienced it myself.
Fingers crossed for you

I last had a period in April at the end of the month so I've missed 2 periods

Have you tried a digital?

Blue dye tests can quite often give a faint line when negative –how faint is the line? If you think you're that far long, it should be very dark. Even after a couple of days of a faint positive, it should be getting much darker. I'd recommend getting a good pink dye test and a digital: both should show a blazing positive at this point. If not, it could be you've just had an anovulatory/delayed cycle. I had an 80-day cycle randomly once for no real reason.

I was hoping if they come up straight away then they are positive as the evap line is after the test has dried. I tried to attach a picture but it wouldn't let me. The lines have been getting darker, but not super dark.

Digital was not pregnant also

Think with blue dye tests the dye tends to run so can show up straight away. Not saying this is what's happened but I agree with PP to get a first response and see what it says.

Mjsmama4 · 20/07/2018 16:54

Thank you. They shouldn't sell the tests if they give people false hope, I'll be heartbroken if it's negative

I agree. Fingers crossed for you. Could you contact your GP for bloods?

Mjsmama4 · 20/07/2018 17:09

GP referred me to my local maternity and midwife unit even though I explained about the tests

It's difficult, I know, but I'd try not to get your hopes up if you've been getting negatives on digital and pink dye tests :( How long has it been since your first blue dye positive?

Mjsmama4 · 20/07/2018 17:19

It's been 10days since.

Got me to be so embarrassed if I'm not pregnant and I've had a scan and been to see a midwife

Mjsmama4 · 20/07/2018 18:54

Why won't it let me post a picture?

New members can't. You can upload it to a website like tinypic and post a link though.

That was my first test

It kind of looks like too much urine has got into the test. Did you dip or pee on the stick?

Mjsmama4 · 20/07/2018 20:49

I dipped

Fishy as in unsure of result / unreliable Or dodgy tests x

Mjsmama4 · 20/07/2018 22:11

Getting another test tomorrow, I've had stomach cramps for days, a sickly feeling, sore boobs and hot flushes. No AF though

OP posts:
leanne9312 · 21/07/2018 07:45

Symptoms sound good!

Mjsmama4 · 22/07/2018 09:16

I'm still getting symptoms but done another 2 tests and they are negative. So frustrating

OP posts:
Mjsmama4 · 26/07/2018 10:39

Just been for a scan, bloods and an internal. No sign of a baby. Expecting AF any day then as ive been getting pains on my uterus. Absolutely gutted.
