A line? Or am I seeing things?

I'm only a day late, but my periods are by the day, same day every month for the last 3 months always been on the 13th. I've been feeling tired, just down in myself so this morning I thought I'd take a test and rule it out. The test came up very faint after a few minutes and I thought I'm just seeing things.

I have an 18 month old after 4 miscarriages so you'd think I'd know how to read tests since I've taken about 20,000 in my lifetime😂 but I'm a bit unsure. I might just get a digital in a couple days if no period.

I'm glad you've said that, I honestly thought I was delusional. My partner at first said no that's negative. He looked again since I was sure and he then said he can see faintly. But he said he had to move it around a lot to see so he doesn't think that counts😂

I can see it but can’t see if it has colour.

Janieforever · 14/10/2023 11:24

I’m sorry op, I can’t see it, I would wait a few days and test again, better than getting your hopes up for whatever result you want. Good luck

That's exactly what my partner said. It's more colour in person than the picture makes it out to be

Def a line not even a squinter

It looks like the start of something. I would try tomorrow with FMU and use another brand - those ones never got as dark a line as others I tried

I see a line but my concern would be that it so faint when you're 1 day late? Usually it's a pretty obvious line by the time periods are late

Mine never were even when over a week late

I can see a line and it looks pink to me. Test again tomorrow morning with fmu and keep us updated!

I mean do I blame the fact it was just a quick job of a £1 test and my second wee of the day🤷🏼‍♀️

Can you take test apart so its just the strip to see if any more colour to it?

It's been well after an hour after I took it now. So would it just be invalid to look? This picture was taken within 10 minutes of taking the test

Yes it would be invalid now. Just chuck it. Do another tomorrow with fmu. Good luck.

Not sure if invalid, pregnancy test have changed so much since I last needed them lol

Update -

Took a digital clear blue this morning and it says 2-3 weeks! Slightly shocked as this test was so weak yesterday
