Positive test?

Hi Everyone, starting a new thread as I think the last ones been too long since I posted. Unfortunately after experiencing a positive pregnancy test before Christmas it ended a week after I posted. I was absolutely heartbroken.

Since then I’ve taken up acupuncture and focused on my health. Tonight I’m home alone as my husbands out and I couldn’t stop crying for no reason. I decided to take a test even though I was positive I couldn’t be pregnant because I had absolutely none of the symptoms I had the last time. (No tingly boobs!). Also it was so late and my urine was definitely extremely diluted. However I’ve no self control.

I was shocked to see what I think is a really faint positive. Am I going crazy or does it look like a positive to others. Bearing in mind I took this after 10pm after drinking lots of water and even a coffee not too long ago.

I’m going to test again in the morning but similar to last time the already faint line seems to have faded and almost disappeared. I know this can happen because the level is so low but I can’t make myself feel excited because I’m so terrified of the same thing happening.

I’d love to know if anyone else sees a positive or if it looks like more of an evaporation line due to lack of colour (it did appear in about a minute I should add).

Similarly if anyone has experienced in the very early days a positive test fading away after a few hours. For more context my period would have been due today or tomorrow and I’m about 13-14 days post ovulation.

I would say that's a fairly clear positive but recommend a pink/purple dye test for FMU..

Good luck and warm wishes

Thank you! Do you mind me asking what FMU is?

I’m so terrified I’m experiencing another chemical pregnancy I just wish I could fast forward time.

Early positive for sure x

Also, a kind of stupid thing but this week I’ve also been extremely unhealthy. Up until now I’ve been very focused on a Healthy lifestyle but this week I was struggling with my mood and ate a lot more chocolate and coffee then usual. I also had 1 and a half alcoholic drinks which is so unlike me. I know they say one drink won’t hurt but the anxiety is so real after experiencing a loss.

Did you retest? A digital picks up 14 DPO fir a definite result or try a pink dye they tend to be more sensitive. Also don't worry about 1 bad week. I had 1 bad week of a glass of wine and takeaway and lots of coffee about a week after conception of my daughter and she's a perfectly healthy 12 month old now 😊

Also FMU means first morning urine 😀

Positive test?

Oh it's definitely positive congratulations. I know how you feel I'm 5wks 1day and I've just caught covid. I'm worried to death but trying to just eat as well as I can and not think to much about it. I hope everything goes well for you this time 💖

@JenniferR2021

That looks like a strong positive to me! I also took a test again this morning and it was a bit stronger this morning.

Unfortunately I still only had a clear blue so today I bought one digital which I’ll try in a week and a few pink dye tests. I’ll do them over the next few days to keep an eye on my Hcg levels.

Really really don’t want to get my hopes up after my last loss. Just trying to do whatever I can to stay calm and distracted.

Positive test?

Thank you and congratulations on your own pregnancy. Hope Covid dose is not too tough on you 🤞

Any tips on staying distracted? Works so busy and I have exams to study for as well so you think I’d have more than enough to keep myself preoccupied but I am just constantly checking to see if there’s any bleeding.

Well I've not told my partner yet he's away with work till I'm 6 weeks and I want to do it in person, so as I can't discuss it with anyone thats not a stranger on the internet it doesn't feel real. Last time i worried myself sick every single day and even had a panic attack at my 12 week scan that it would flag up a missed miscarriage and the first trimesters joy was lost to worry and anxiety so this time I'm trying to mellow out and believe that what will be will be.
