Faint line positive?

Hi everyone, really needing some advice as I'm feeling incredibly anxious! We've been ttc for a while now and I'm 7 days late with this test result yesterday...

Too scared to test again and symptoms seem to be coming and going. Main this is metallic mouth taste, sicky and horribly anxious. Do people see a line?

Faint line positive?

I see a faint line OP. Everything crossed for you! X

PoisonMaple · 18/02/2024 14:21

I see that as a positive.

This is mine from earlier this month. I'm definitely pregnant at the moment.

Congratulations OP 😊

Thank you so much that provides reassurance! Do you find symptoms come and go and is this normal? I feel like I'm going crazy over analysing everything and can't feel excited just yet. Sorry I'm a ball of worry! First pregnancy!

Oh darling, everything you're feeling is absolutely normal. I'm 5 weeks, found out at 3+4 - feel like I've known forever! And the symptom spotting is insane.

I had the weird tastes in my mouth. They seem to have stopped. I've had sore breasts throughout and also nausea.

Do you know your dates? How many dpo are you? 😊

PearlCat · 18/02/2024 14:42

Thank you 😊 🙏 💓
This was the one month I didn't track so I don't know exactly how many dpo I am this time, but think I'm about 4weeks 5 days. I haven't tested again since yesterday, this test I did with very diluted urine so that might have made it fainter! Just the over worrying I'm hating and want to be excited. Think I'll wait a few more days and test again =]. Congratulations!!! I hope you are doing well and the nausea isn't too uncomfortable 😊 xxx

Well, I'd bet you an entire chocolate cake (because why not!) that your result is a positive pregnancy.

Do your calculations from the first day of your last period.

Mine was 13.01.24 - I'm due in mid-October and 5w 2days.

First morning urine will give you conclusive results. Being 7 days late, you could test in the morning, or just wait a few more days, your choice.

Trust me, the worrying is there even with the excitement! Have you shared with anyone in real life? My DH and my brother know. My DH is too worried to get excited, so my brother is the one I do the squealing with. It helps. 😁

Id say positive.
Mine were always faint lines

As others have said test first thing in the morning.

OOBetty · 18/02/2024 14:51

Ps.
Symptom wise I didn’t get any with either pregnancy except
A desperate need for cream cakes before I knew I was expecting

Hi Everyone

We’re trying for a baby and I’ve decided to test because of a few unsual symptoms.

I took 2 tests and both showed lines but only after 15 minutes… could those be evap lines ? As I’ve read clear blue tests have those… could you let me know your thoughts?

I’d try a clear blue digital
Easier to read as it just says pregnant or not and the number of weeks

Ah well, they're good lines for that gestation.

@OOBetty I will give it a couple of days and will defo try, thank you

PearlCat · 18/02/2024 15:25

Bless you! Thank you so much, your messages have massively reassured me! I have ordered some more tests which will come tomorrow and I'll use fmu on Tuesday:). I feel sick and tired, with sore boobs on and off. Keep getting paranoid that symptoms are going but think it's all normal and fluctuates from everything I've read. Honestly, keep checking and wiping everytime I go to the toilet. We've been trying for a good year so it's hard to believe it 🥰🥰🥰

I've shared with my bestie and DH is also not getting hopes up but is not a worry bot like me! Eek! Wishing you all the best with your pregnancy 😘 xxx
