First response, positive??

Okay so I’ve taken some first responses and i’m just really confused. We are ttc baby number 3, the first picture was the first test i took. I looked at it afterwards and noticed another line was there but it’s half a line?? Is that still positive? I then did the other test but it came back negative so i’m really confused and don’t know what to think. Trying not to get my hopes up! 😞

How many dpo are you?

I would test again in morning if you have another.

I don’t see it, but 10 dpi is early. Try again in 48 hours, or when your period is due

I see a line but it appears to be colourless. Unfortunately, FRERs aren't reliable at the minute and seem to be giving lots of false negatives. If I were you, I'd test with a different brand tomorrow or the day after.

in person, it's pink in colour but just a line half way down

Sorry I can't see anything.
If it's not a full line then it's not a bfp, it might be a faulty test.
Try again with another at 12dpo.

@ellieeex Well was it positive?? I have a test in front of me that looks the same as yours 🤣 I’m pretty sure I have “line eyes”

Awk shit I’m sorry. Hope you conceive soon xx

B1993 · 26/10/2022 07:22

@ellieeex I'm sorry it wasn't a postive! 💔

@SmurfStar FRER are so unreliable right now! I've read so many horror stories about women thinking they were pregnant and going for blood tests and what not to confirm, only to find out they were never pregnant at all!! 😲

But, you could just be super early. I'd test again with a different brand like CB. I used One Step test strips from Amazon when testing early - got my first faint lines at 8DPO and have been really reliable for me. Then I confirmed with FRER and CB digitals.

Hi,

I’ve just done a first response test, I’m due on in 5 days. There’s a really faint line but I’ve now read how these tests have been giving false positives and the faint line could be an indent line. Can you guys let me know what you think?

First response, positive??

I got a false positive last month but thankfully i conceived the cycle after. I don't trust the first response anymore so many try another test! Good luck!

@bees2conceive I'm with @ellieeex I don't trust them anymore. I bought wondfo strips off Amazon and found them to be really sensitive. The line does seem darker than most indents I've seen but it looks colourless. Hope you're pregnant, buy a digital 😊

P.s. @ellieeex I also conceived the cycle after!!

bees2conceive · 17/11/2022 13:01

Thanks so much for your responses. The line is pink in real life so does that make a difference? Will also get some other tests. Thank you xxx

That would be a positive but definitely grab yourself some different tests just to be sure! xxx

Yes that would be positive but honestly don't get your hopes up like I did JUST incase .. sorry to be a Debbie downer, defo get more tests, I bet it will be good news xx

B1993 · 17/11/2022 14:14

@ellieeex and @SmurfStar, congrats on your pregnancies!!

This definitely looks like a true positive to me as it's pink and not grey @bees2conceive. But, as the other ladies said, definitely worth taking another brand to be sure!!

Just to add, I did use FRER tests to confirm my pregnancies but only after faint lines on one step strip tests from Amazon. FRER had much stronger lines than the step tests and were accurate for me. 😊
