Unsure if I'm pregnant or not

[Amy1236]

Hi guys, I'm very unsure about whether I'm pregnant or not. I used a clear blue early detection test which came back as a very faded positive. Before and after that I must have taken about 10 more in total which all came back negative. Has this ever happened to any of you?

Hi @Amy1236, can you post a pic? How many dpo are you?

I'm not sure about how many DPO I am as I wasn't trying but it will be three weeks this Friday since I had sex (sorry tmi) and my period ended just a couple of days before that. Unfortunately any time I try post a picture of the test it says "new users can't immediately post photos" :(

Do you know roughly how long your cycles are? And how long your period lasts? If your period ended roughly 3 weeks ago then I would maybe wait another few days to a week and then test again as it may be too early to detect any HCG hormone. How are you feeling?

Hi @Amy1236

It’s hard to tell with limited information but by the sounds of it there would be a low chance unless you had very early ovulation.

Clearblues aren’t the most reliable of tests. Try a first response as they tend to be a bit better. Is AF late? Is that why you are testing?

My cycles are normal about 28-30 days and period lasts anywhere between 5-7 days. I've been having cramps and I'm more tired than usual but who's to say that's symptoms. Just think it's strange how out of a good few boxes of tests only 1 came out positive.

Hi @poptypingchef, not due until some stage next week but I haven't been taken any contraception and had unprotected sex hence why I am testing.

I would say you’re probably best to wait another week and test again. It might be that you aren’t pregnant, and on the one faded positive test you did it was just an evap line. But definitely test again next week if your period doesn’t show!

Clearblue are known for false positives do a First response Early test or go to your GP
