Is it just me or can you see it? Period due in 2 days but definitely feel pregnant.

Mm I can see a shadow of a line but the test looks dry? Looks like the line just appeared because the test is dry.

Clear line straight away for me. I don’t really get what evaporated or dry marks are though

MrsA2015 · 19/02/2024 20:02

Oooh I see it!!

I have done 3 tests previously, same brand that have all dried and no second line on any of those. I've heard of evaporation lines but not dry lines. I will turn to Google on that lol x

If no second lines on the other dried up one then I’d say it’s the beginning of a positive for sure! I just remember leaving mine in the bathroom and a faint line had appeared as it dried up- I wasn’t pregnant!

Oh I see, maybe it's that then. Will test again in a few days if my AF doesn't show up. Thanks for replying.

My first positive was quite faint too. Baby is now 12 weeks old 🙈 give yourself a couple of days and test again! Wish you luck 🤞🏼
edit to add…this was also 2 days before period too.

This is exactly how my test looked the first time i had tested, took a few more over the next few days (first wee of morning) and line got much more darker. First positive at 3 weeks, currently 33+1!
best of luck!! :)

Cheap tests take longer to get darker. Was this FMU?

No I took it this afternoon.

I had a test like that with my first baby. Took a frer the next morning with first wee and it was undoubtedly positive. I agree with a previous poster who said these tests take longer to get a clear positive.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 19/02/2024 21:51

Definitely use FMU to test with cheapies if before AF is due.

I think your strip test looks darker than mine. I didn't take this until the afternoon though so we'll see what happens. I'm thinking mine could be an indent line.

I have one more left so I'm going to test again in the morning.

My first test looked like this and got darker each day, pic is the tests a day apart. I now have a 6 month old boy 💙

Oh wow, what a difference a day makes. I'm going to test again in the morning with FMU to see if it gets darker.

Yes that’s a clear line, what’s with the ring?!

It helps the camera lense to focus for a clearer pic.

Just took another test with FMU, same brand and it's BFN so false positives definitely happen.

Still no AF and boobs so sore, tummy cramps and feeling nauseous. That one positive test, closely followed by 2 negative. I have no idea what's going on.

Perhaps try a boots early test

Jtj83 · 26/02/2024 19:30

Think I may have had a chemical as period arrived a few days late and was very heavy and painful.

Can anyone offer some advice. Is this a line ?
driving me crazy would be an absolute miracle as been ttc for 3 years so very unlikely x

Looks like but my test here was like this and I wasn't pregnant. Is this the only test you've done? If so then take another one to see if it's the same result. Best of luck x

Thank you I’m sure it’s not! Don’t want to get my hopes up after years of negatives I’ll wait a couple of days as see what happens.
