Does anyone have a photo of a pregnancy test BEFORE they peed on it?

Im 35 and we've just started TTC so naturally Im quite anxious that it's too late for me. We had our first proper try this cycle and at 6/7 dpo (this is an estimate from my Clue app) I had a full day of feeling nauseous but not many other symptoms other than that. (I weirdly have a lot of ulcers in my mouth which is strange for me - including a huge on on my throat :( )

Anyway, I got excited and took a Sainsburies pregnancy test last night and another this morning. (Im 10/11 dpo but have a 25 day cycle, AF is due in a couple of days). I was disappointed to see that it was negative. However, after googling pictures of positive pregnancy tests I'm now wondering if they were just very faint positives. There was a very faint blue vertical line in both of them but it was so faint I just figured it was there because that's how they were made, like it was a manufacturing line or something. Unfortunately, I've left it too long to double check - I pulled them out the bin and they both now have positive lines but that would be the case normally, right?

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had a photo of a pregancy stick BEFORE they've pee'd on them so I can see if there was ever a line there or whether I might still be in the chance of getting a BFP.

Thanks guys! Just goes to show not to trust your first pregnancy tests.. or at least look for the faint lines (which I 100% thought were negative!) I think I made my Mums day when I told her this morning! She always assumed she was never going to get grandchildren :D

@gingerninja85 I had mouth ulcers really bad with second and had really low iron! Might be.worth getting a pregnancy multi vitamin and mentioning to midwife when you see her! Xxxx

Congratulations!

I had no idea about faint lines when I had my first pregnancy at 36.

At 39 when trying for baby 2 I could spot much fainter ones!

I was just coming on to say OP that I had a negative first test because i tested too early I think and now DD is fast asleep on my chest after cutting her first tooth today Grin I was so convinced I wasn't pregnant I even had a night out - something must have been looking out for us because I decided at the last minute to drive and not drink as planned and four days later I was feeling so rough I tested again and here she is
Congrats - so very happy for you x

I was 37 at the time and despite having an elevated BMi as the consultant politely described it the worst thing about my pregnancy was constant sickness - no age (or weight) related complications at all!

Congratulations OP! I got a BFP this morning too! Bit of a surprise! 😂
