Hello lovely people!

Firstly, I’m a lurker and a v grateful one at that. I had a miscarriage last year, my only pregnancy, and really benefitted from reading some posts on here when I was having a horrible time.

We are venturing into TTC again as my body and brain feel ready and wondered if you could offer some advice.

I’m due on on Friday (it’s Mon today) and I have what looks like a possible line on an EasyatHome test this afternoon. I did a Clear Blue digital early detection test this morning and it was negative.

I’ve been fooled (tortured) by EaH before so don’t want to see something that isn’t there.

I know I should wait until Friday, I’m just struggling to manage the curiosity! I’ve also been experiencing a weird pulling sensation in my lady parts (sorry) for a couple of days which I don’t usually get on my period.

Any advice would be gratefully received!

PS can’t find any First Response anywhere, there must be a national shortage 😁

Hey!
So sorry to hear about your previous loss 🫶
To me it looks like it might be a line, can't be 100% because it doesn't meet.. But what I will say is my easy at homes looked like this very early on & I was pregnant!
I think these kinds of tests are the most trustworthy so I'd wait & retest (that's if you can because I would literally test each hour of the day if I could 🤣🙈)
Fingers crossed for you & keep us updated lovely 🥰

Also here is a link for FRER on amazon! Quite cheap & if you have prime they will be here tomorrow 😆💖

@Blisax I've ordered these ones before but they're not the early detection ones they're just the fast results ones. Quite misleading of them.

Also op I did a thread on lack of FRER and app it's because they're giving indent/evaps readings so they've been recalled!

Do you have any of these tests left? It could be positive but the line looks abit odd?

Good luck!xx

Annie865 · 10/07/2023 15:07

Thank you - both! ♥️

That’s v interesting about FRER. I haven’t got any more of these strips left as it was an odd one I found in a draw (after testing every 30 seconds a few months ago 😂)

Maybe I’ll try and brave it and wait until Friday 🥴

@pambeeslyhalpert2 oh that's rather bloody cheeky isn't it! I used them too believing that was FRER! Thanks for that 🥰

It looks it but unsure because of the break in the line. Frer haven’t been recalled but they have been discontinued. Boots do their own brand early results tests which are very good if you want confirmation, cheaper than frer too.

The break in the line makes it invalid (neither positive or negative). Boots own early detection pink dye tests always worked great for me.

Discontinued!?! Noooooooooo!!! I loved them!

Annie865 · 11/07/2023 13:34

Thank you @pambeeslyhalpert2 and @allgoodthings84 - I can’t believe that FRER have been discontinued either - I feel like I’ve lost all faith in tests 🤣

I haven’t managed to get to a Boots yet but Sainsbury’s had some strips. Comparison with yesterday and today below. With my heart…I’m seeing a faint line. With my head…I’m logically thinking it’s some v faint evap line.

The TWW is torture 🤯

I can absolutely see 2 lines on both tests!!

galmom · 11/07/2023 13:42

There's definitely a line on both! My first tests were exactly like this with my now 3 month old, good luck op!

Annie865 · 11/07/2023 13:46

😍 I thought people were going to see evap lines!

Looks like a faint positive to me 😊

BeaKind · 11/07/2023 17:54

This looks my early positive I had in Feb. I’m now 24 weeks. Keeping everything crossed for you! 💞

Thank you all sooooo much. Even if it doesn’t work out for me this time - you’re giving me some hope it can happen again 🫶

And obviously - now totally reading my tests with my heart for now 😂
