Heeeelllllpppp

So I’ve been feeling a bit off the last week or so - intermittent sickness, bit of a funny tummy.

I’m on the pill and have literally just finished my withdrawal bleed but decided to take a test to be 100% sure and rule it out for definite.

This is the FRER I just took - it’s rather ambiguous for my liking and now I’m scared (and I definitely feel sick now)!

Is there any chance that’s just a shadow? How do I work out more definitively whether I’m pregnant or not? I take my pill religiously at the same time every day and never skip.

Thanks in advance x

It sounds unlikely that you are pregnant but obviously not impossible. FR tests are a bugger for weird indents so I’d try another brand

Thanks @Jazzybean that’s helpful.

Does anyone have recommendations of more reliable brands?

That test does look positive. Maybe try different ones. You can fall pregnant on the pill

I had a test like that and was on the pill + my husband has had a vasectomy. It was a false faint positive - I hadn't had a period for ten weeks (don't know why) and had a blood HCG to make sure.

It does look positive, I would take a clear blue digital the one that tells you in words if your pregnant or not as it takes out the guess work. Although I would leave it a couple of days as the line is so faint, I don't think they're as sensitive as these tests.

I also took the pill religiously for 5 years. 15 weeks pregnant here. Clear blue tests generally the most reliable though so maybe try one of those!

Get one of the ones with the words on it

Looks positive for me. Take a clear blue and keep us updated

Looks a bit grey so wouldn’t trust it. Clearblue are absolutely terrible for false positives too so avoid them like the plague. Get a boots own brand early results one and test using first morning urine and you’ll get a clear result

Thank you everyone, took a clear blue with the words which very clearly said ‘not pregnant’ earlier so I can sleep easy! Except for working out what this nausea is… x

@macaroonsandgin might be worth checking again in a few days. Digitals aren’t as sensitive as frer so if it was a very faint positive it wouldn’t show on a digital yet, plus you’d need to use first morning urine

I couldn't see a line. I think you're ok.

I see a line but would wait another couple of days and do another digital.

I would test again as I can definitely see a line! X
