Faint pregnancy tests

[Ltommo88]

Hello everyone, so me and hubby have been trying to conceive after having the coil (that’s for a whole new thread) for the last week I have seen very faint lines, the first one was quite obvious but the others not so much, I’ve had the metallic taste in my mouth my breasts are achy and weird cramps that take my breath away but not constantly there. I’m worried I’m imagining everything and going crazy 😜 I’ve never tried to get pregnant before and have two amazing girls. This is controlling my life x thanks for any input

Hi OP.
FYI- not to put a downer on things, but in your second picture, it looks like the lower test is flooded, and it looks like your green handled test in the third picture is flooded too.
That doesn't mean you're not pregnant, but just wanted to give you a heads up as it can suggest a result isn't accurate.
Have you done any tests other than the ones in the photos?
Best of luck!

Hi I haven’t no, didn’t want to spend more money until I have a good line. See all the tests come out with the faintest of lines.
What does flooding mean? X x

Can you see this one? X

@Ltommo88, flooded means there’s too much liquid been in contact with the test strip and that can cause dye to leak out of the control line into the test as a whole but especially into the test line. I have to agree with @Glitterandunicorns that the lower test strip on the middle picture and the 3rd picture (the green test) both look flooded so their results cannot be taken as accurate. A way to avoid flooding test strips is to pee into a clean pot and then dip the strip into the pot for the time specified then leave on a flat surface for required period before reading.

FWIW, I can see a line on the green strip but not the others and, as previously mentioned, that would be deemed as flooded so not an accurate result.

Okie dokie, I peed in a pot each time so unsure how they are flooded. Thanks for advice
