So my last period was 24th Nov, I ovulated around the 9th Dec, using opk strips, which are now blatantly negative so I tried a hcg strip and I can see 2 lines but surely it is too early? They're just cheap amazon tests, I've had a few symptoms but I always put it down to pms 😅

That is a positive. Congrats! 🎉

Thanks for the replies! Can't quite believe it 🙈 should I test again to be sure with a different brand?? I'm only 7 dpo 😅

Definitely a line there - congratulations!

I had exactly the same last month (are these the sensitive tests from Amazon?). I swore it was too early but I'm now 5w1d and got my 3+ weeks clear blue today too!

Thanks everyone, still in shock, been trying for 6 months 😅 just got home from work and done another one and it's definitely 2 lines 🤯😁 have attached a pic with packaging they were just cheap early tests off amazon! 🥲

How long did you have to wait for a digital to show results? I did another of the same tests just yesterday and I can't see anything on it 😔

Congratulations! You could possibly do ultra early test but it might need a few more days to pick it.

Nearly a week later and I'm now testing negative 😪 can anyone offer any advice? Ive still got some symtoms (boobs are like bricks, constant headache and an appetite like no other) I'm not too sure what to think, ive had no bleeding or pains either, I'm booked in for blood tests but thats in 2 weeks time, this would be my 4th loss if that's what's happening, utterly heartbroken 😥

Oh love, I'm sorry. The three possibilities are:
You were never pregnant and got false positives
You are pregnant and are getting false negatives
You had a chemical pregnancy

The third is by far the most likely. I had multiple losses over the years and learnt to avoid testing before my period was due. I just couldn't go through the heartache. Sending hugs ❤️

Oh, those cheap test strips are terrible for false lines so if you do test early with them wait to you get a darker line than that to get excited. Fingers crossed for next month.
