Faint tests

[Hopefullanxiety]

Hello. I started my last period 28/10. 35 day cycle usually however now 4 days late. Over the last few days l have taken several strip tests which have mostly been faint positives/some negative, 2 Clearblue rapid detection faint positives and a Tesco test which was negative. Experiencing cramping over the last 6 days and fatigue, no spotting. Just concerned if this is normal to have such faint tests as I’m very anxious, many thanks

Tests

Hello,
How strange. These are exactly my dates and cycle length.

Started Last Period 28/10
Ovulated 19/11 ish
Period should have started 02/12

And got my postivie test today- first time I've tested. It was quite clear, I swear by those cheapy pink line tests.

Do you know when you ovulated by any chance? I'm only going off EWCM.
Are you testing with first urine in the morning?
Any other symptoms?

I'm thinking you could have ovulated a bit later than expected and just need to test again in a couple of days...

Congratulations :) that’s so weird haha!
I did not test for ovulation but I am assuming it was later than expected if not testing faint positives until last couple of days.
Have been reading a lot about chemical pregnancies and just getting myself worked about it and want to see some darker lines!

Thank you 😊
I think that's totally possible- when I'd worked out my ovulation window (just counting back from experected period) I think it was something like from the 18th to the 22nd...an implantation time varies person to person.

Totally understand how you're feeling. This is second time round for me and I drove myself mad with tests last time.
My best advice would be to think 'the testing won't change the outcome', focus on looking after yourself, buy a pink line test and do it first thing Sunday morning by which point it will all be really clear. Harder than it sounds though!

Thank you very much, you’re right and I think that is a very good idea.
This is my first and first cycle trying. I very much expected it to take months so when I was late this month, it’s just thrown me a bit. Emotional rollercoaster!
Wishing you all the best 🙏

First month! Eeek! Let me know how you get on please 🙏
