Am I pregnant? HELP

I am ttc my second baby. I didn’t take my ovulation but think I am around 9dpo. Yesterday I done a clear blue pt in the afternoon and (after waiting the recommended three minutes) there was a very faint line. This line then vanished around an hour later and I was left very confused!! I did a clear blue digital test (with same urine) only for that to show not pregnant.

this morning I thought I would try again (clear blue test again) with my first wee and the same v faint line appeared.

it is so hard to capture the line on camera however there are a couple you can see and if I adjust the brightness on the photo slightly it’s clearer…

please tell me I’m not going crazy! Am I pregnant? Has anyone else experienced this with clear blue?

Congratulations, your pregnant. If you read the packet, it normally says don't read after X minutes because they can fade over time.

Same thing happened to me with a faint line that vanished (cheap strip test though) and I was pregnant, although it's very uncommon for this to happen.

Digits require a higher level of hCG (pregancy hormone they test for) which is why that will be negative.

@Bramblecrumble22, they actually tell you to read the test before so many minutes because negative tests can develop an 'indent' line so could be read as a false positive.

Congreafs OP, there's a line there and you're definitely pregnant! 🐣

I’m currently 37 weeks, my cb pt were fainter than this and the digitalis were saying not pregnant but I knew I was. All I would recommend is getting some cheaper pink dye tests and repeating as I find they come up better, more so than the clear blue.

Cb are genuinely terrible for showing lines when negative. I would get a decent early result pink dye test (boots do a good own brand one) and use fmu. Digitals aren’t as sensitive so won’t show yet. Good luck

Thank you so much everyone for your messages. I repeated last night with pink dye…

although still very faint it seems a lot clearer than cb.
