Is this a positive test?

I am in genuine disbelief and struggle to believe this is a real positive. For a start, I was in floods of tears so bad this morning as thinking my period had started (been struggling to conceive since miscarriage) - I seemed to have the faintest pinkish red when I wiped as period due, so thought my period was ready to come in full flow. I put a pad on today but all I’ve had is some brown blood on it. Cycles are usually 24 days long, it’s day 26 today, but nothing more. I took this test this morning - I only have this one in house and unable to get another until tomorrow.

Is anyone able to tell me if this is reliable? Thank you.

Honestly, I still don’t believe it and I’m scared to tell my partner in case it’s a false positive. I’ve ordered a different brand due to arrive tomorrow and I dread testing again. I’ve had all my usual pre period symptoms, and obviously the brown discharge today. Should I phone 111 about the discharge?

thank you everyone

Sounds like normal implantation bleed. How many DPO are you?

Thank you so much - I hope you’re right! As I say I can’t believe it. Dreading testing again. I had a missed miscarriage last time I was pregnant and had brown bleeding around 9 weeks when I was miscarrying so I hope this isn’t the case with this bleeding I’ve had.

Took another one and yep looks like I am pregnant! In shock. Did not expect a positive at all when I tested yesterday. So anxious now though. Thanks everyone for the comments.
