Is this a positive? Taken with first morning urine, first cycle after Mirena was removed on 29th April. No idea of my dates as I haven’t had a true period yet, only a withdrawal bleed a few days after Mirena taken out. I had some pains and a bit of very light spotting between 1-3 June but the test was totally negative with evening urine on 3rd June but now there appears to be a faint positive this morning. Taken on a FRER with first morning urine, the line appeared fairly quickly and definitely within the 3 minute window. I’m just a bit thrown as my previous pregnancies showed up as much darker line but then I was much more clear about my dates. What does everyone think?

Sadly my psychic powers are dwindling with age - and despite still having great ‘line-eyes’ , I will definitely need a photo to have a chance of a guess 😬

sorry I did attach a photo but it’s waiting for approval for some reason. Ill try again

The line looks pink and can be seen from all
angles but it’s not the same dark pink as the test line

Yes and YES !! Easy peasy. Didn’t even need to squint . Big congrats 🥳

TappingTed · 07/06/2026 09:01

Yes!! Congratulations I’d say!

hobbledyhoy · 07/06/2026 09:01

Yes I’d say that a definite positive. Congratulations!

are false positive a thing? I was so convinced it would be negative, I’m also having a bit of brown discharge (sorry tmi). I just never thought at 40, I’d be able to conceive so quickly after the Mirena. My second child took nearly a year so I was preparing for a long wait

Also I had a completely negative FRER on Wednesday

I caught the same week I had my coil out!

Do you think the brown discharge and the fact the line is faint means it won’t stick?

No. You can’t be a little bit pregnant. The line is light because the hormone that is detected in the test was weak. Doesn’t mean the pregnancy is ‘weak ‘ . Perhaps you didn’t get much wee on the stick. Have you drunk lots of tea /water and diluted your wee ? Just do another tomorrow. Or in a few days. To reassure.

No hadn’t drank anything and it was first week of the day. But yes I will take another test in a day or so. Just don’t want to get my hopes up. Especially with the spotting. Maybe I’m just earlier than I thought as I tested negative on a FRER on Wednesday evening
