Pregnant or not?

[User875679]

Based on this test result, would you think you were pregnant or not?

Yes! This is stonger than my line at about 4 days before af due (although that was an internet cheapy).

Congratulations

Yes I would!

So it's a bit complicated. Been TTC for a few months. I had a period type bleed (heavy) which ended a week ago. I assumed not pregnant but felt odd so did a cheap test a few days later. It was inconclusive - I couldn't be sure I wasn't imagining the line. I've done a few more since, all inconclusive. This one is a home blood test.

I'm confused. I was sure the bleeding was my period and I wasn't pregnant.

There's definitely a very faint line there but I'd try a urine test, ideally a First Response Early Result to know for sure.

I did a cheap test yesterday but couldn't work out whether there was a line or not (pic attached). I've ordered a first response test. Surely it should show up stronger than now if it's positive?

It may have been a chemical pregnancy and the tests are showing up residual hCG?

I thought it might be that too, but I've been testing regularly for the past couple of weeks and I've never got a "strong" positive so it's not as if the line is now getting fainter due to hcg levels decreasing. I was hoping doing a blood test would confirm it absolutely one way or the other .

How strong the test should be depends on how many dpo you are or how late your period is. If you were 10dpo I'd expect it to be v faint but if your period is a week late you'd expect a strong positive. Let us know how you get on with the FRER x

I also see a faint line in your second picture so hopefully you can do a FRER and then another 48 hours later and see a noticeable difference in the darkness of the test

Hi, just thought I'd update. Things haven't got any clearer. I did a FRER and no line, so assumed negative. But then I tried another blood test and cheapo test today and there's a faint line on the blood test and what could be a faint line (but I could also be imagining it) on the cheap urine test. In heart of heart, I think I'm probably not pregnant since the line on the urine test would be stronger by now (I'd be at least 4-5 weeks by now), but any opinions or advice would be welcome.
