Pregnancy tests

[Brittanyjaynem]

Hi there I am trying to get pregnant, I have come off the pill in May. My mind is completely blown 🤯 hence it’s now 3am I can’t sleep and I am normally such a great sleeper… I took a pregnancy test 2 days ago 28.09.23 and had a very faint line.. see photo with the pregnancy box behind it.. hard to see well on photos. Went to the shop again bought 2 digital tests which both said negative.. disappointing. Then yesterday 29/09/23 I had retaken on the strip test again.. and the faint line got more prominent see photo again … then went to buy a more expensive clear blue digital and said ‘ not pregnant ‘. Please help I am on holiday in less than a week, drinking holiday! I need to know 😰😰

When is your period due? The digitals aren’t as sensitive as the strip tests so you’d generally only use them when you’re late and with FMU.

Hi @Brittanyjaynem
The second pic definitely looks positive hun! How many dpo are you? x

I haven’t really looked into this all to much so I’m not even sure what days post ovulation I am I have tracked when I have my period & when i have sex.. but my periods have been all over the place since being off the pill in May! So hard to tell when I am suppose to be on my period x

Hey, my period is all over the shop recently, used to be so so regular, since coming off the pill I’ve no idea when it’ll be! What is FMU sorry? X

@Brittanyjaynem
Aww bless, try taking a digital Clearblue test in a few days hun.
From the second pic it does look like you are pregnant x

I will do thank you! 😄 eek hope so, just so hard getting my hopes up, then it crashing back down the past two days 🤯😰thank you for your advice 🥰 x

Are you using first morning urine (FMU) - or your first wee of the day?

If the second test was read during the valid window - usually 10/15 minutes - and not afterward, that's a definite positive. It's not uncommon for digital tests to be a bit less sensitive.

Nope I haven’t been, I will do tomorrow though now! I’ve got a strip one I can use, or do you think use a digital one on my first wee of the day? Nope it was definitely within the first 5 minutes of the test that that showed 😆 thank you 😆

Save your FMU tomorrow, pee in a container. If you get a good result on the strip test then dip your digital into it. If you’re only getting a very faint line then I’d wait another couple of days and do the same again.

Some advice please .

i had a normal period in January, and then a couple of days in Feb where its was light brown spotting. Been getting sick a lot and heartburn and bloated and bigger breasts. I randomly on the off chance took two different tests yesterday and I think they are positives! The digital one said not pregnant, so not sure whether to wait now or do another test,

any advice is appreciated
