Self check home kit

I’ve done the self check home test blood test today and got a very very faint line. Has anyone had any experience with these tests? I’ve got an appointment with my gp to arrange a blood test on Friday. I just know it’s gonna be too early to test for a urine sample. I am just anxious as I have PCOS but have been feeling offside recently hence why I thought I’d take a test xx

If it's too early for a urine test, it's too early for a blood test. Frer will detect hcg below 10. 5 is a positive result on a blood test (from gp). Hcg levels double within 48-72 hours in early pregnancy.

Sorry, I have no experience of this specific type of home test.

Pregnant enough for symptoms is pregnant enough for a clear positive test.

Those tests have a reputation for false positives. I would wait until a home urine test comes up positive before seeing the GP.
