Am I pregnant or is it a faulty test?

Hi,

I'm reaching out to see if I could be pregnant. My period is often a little unpredictable and I've done 4 tests over the last 2 days. 2 came back negative and 2 had very very faint lines. For reference I had a faint line positive yesterday, then another this morning, then I did a digital test which Said 'not pregnant'

I had a bit of cramping and light spotting yesterday so assumed it's my period but then it's completely stopped.

Is this possible early pregnancy or a chemical pregnancy or even something else..I'm so confused! Photos attached. X

go get a blood test!

if you really won’t, or the gp won’t, get some cheap tests and keep testing over the coming days in the morning with your first wee of the day :)

I wouldn’t say any of those are positive OP, those tests are known for evap lines and I’d say all of those look like evap’s x

Digital tests need a higher HCG to pick up than the dye tests so often they would be negative for a few days after a positive dye test. However clearblue blue dye are horror for evap lines.

Get a pibk dye and test with first morning urine.

Cramping and spotting can be signs of implantation.

they read negative OP.
my CB exam looked like this. Even more so than yours. I'll never use them again.

Ahh ok that might be the case then... I never even knew that was a thing, guess I'll hang fire for my period!

Oh no I'm sorry. I didn't even know about the Evap lines. With my first pregnancy I got the digital and it was positive so all this is new to me. How crap to have people get their hopes up too! 😥

I wouldn't say it's conclusively evap? Definitely worth a try with a cheapo test with FMU in the morning.

I don’t think those are positives. Test again in a few days. Definitely do not go and ask for a blood test 🙄

I have just had the same experience 2 faint tests but a negative digital someone told me these are common with these tests and to try a pink dye one, hope you get the results you want
