What are the chances of 6 faint positive tests? X

Yep they look positive

Stop taking more tests! You are pregnant!

They look positive to me too. You could always try a different brand if you're worried about this being a bad batch? I believe the chances of that are low though

Lola1212 · 24/09/2025 14:40

I didn’t think of them being a bad batch xx

I’m struggling to believe it, I did a digital 2 days ago and it was negative, but every other test has a faint pink line x

My tests were fainter than those and they were positive

Congratulations! Not believing it, is a relatively normal defence mechanism to protect your feelings from rejection but you needn’t because you’re almost certainly pregnant. I’d say at least 3-4 weeks if I compare to the strength mine were, followed by a CB digital which said 1-2

Thank you for understanding, I’ve just popped to Asda to pick up another and it’s positive again. I read lots of things about false positives 😩

False positives are very rare.

If you really feel you can’t trust the tests, you can ask the GP to confirm with a blood test. Although I would maybe wait another couple of weeks as by then you’ll hopefully be trusting the home tests.

Because if it’s bad news you don’t want to believe it and think ‘faint line’ =🤞 it’s wrong. And if it’s happy news you think faint line’ = might be wrong , can’t believe it and get too excited, don’t ‘feel’ pregnant ( too early , give it a couple of weeks) . But yes , I think you’re pregnant, false positives are rare. The test from a couple of days ago is irrelevant . Congratulations!! They’re not all wrong!!
