Pregnant or no?

I really need advice but it's a bit complicated sorry in advance.

So I started the mini pill at the end of February (round about 20th). I then had a course of antibiotics started from 5th March which would have over ruled my pill, week later I also missed a few days. Conception date would have been the 14th March.
I have taken 1 clear blue test which was faint but definitely a visible positive, 2 boots own brand also positive not strong but visible and 3 clear and simple strips which were so faint you could barely see them so don't know if it was positive or evap. Iv stopped my pill 10 days ago for my usual break through/bleed period which Iv not taken. I have really bad bloating, migraines, food cravings, bad skin, sore boobs, lower back a leg ache.

I really don't know if I'm pregnant or not going by how faint these tests were and the date of conception? What's the chances these are false positives or am I pregnant? Help please.

If your tests are positive then it means your pregnant

So you've had 6 positive tests? I'd think that's fair to say that you're pregnant then Smile
You probably ovulated late as missing the pill will have messed with your cycles so you're just very early on.

If you conceived 14th March, you'd be around 10-11weeks at this stage and I think pregnancy tests struggle at this stage due to such high hormones. Your best bet may be to speak to the doctor and ask for a blood test for hcg level - this will give you a definitive answer as to whether you're pregnant or not. If you are, they'll probably scan you to date you pretty quickly.

@RunnerGirl123 this is what I've read it's so frustrating because I know it defo was 14th March not before and definitely not after (one night stand) sorry sounds disgusting it's with my best friend so not some random. I feel pregnant with the bloating hard stomach etc but my lines just won't get any darker!

@sel2223 I can't be any less than that so either I'm just getting faint tests due to HcG levels or something isn't right x

I'm not sure if diluting your urine will help achieve a stronger result? I've seen some posts about the hook effect if you want to google it?

Shelbys97xx · 08/05/2020 19:13

@RunnerGirl123 yes I read this too I just wasn't sure if it was a myth il try that with FMU and see how it goes. I also read somewhere that if you add a few drops of water to a positive tests it will take away an evap line so if line stays it's positive if it goes negative. Tried this and all lines stay, faint but definitely visible, but again I'm unsure how reliable that theory is. X

Crikey if you don’t believe all those tests, what will it take you to believe it?

Shelbys97xx · 08/05/2020 19:18

@xeniiia I know!! I'm so skeptical because of my dates I just thought my positives would be really strong and then obv I had taken the pill but wouldn't have been covered because of antibiotics and missing some days
