Squinter?

Hey, could this be positive? I know it’s a squinter. Xx

Clear blue digital test - week indicator

My LMP was 22nd of May, i tested positive on 22 of june using Clear blue digital test at 1-2 weeks. I repeated the test on 25th June and it showed 2-3 weeks.
i repeated it again today and its still showing 2-3 weeks when i expected it to be 3+ weeks as i am 5 weeks 5 days pregnant as per my LMP.
It’s my 2nd pregnancy, in first pregnancy i tested with same duration and it gave 3+ weeks.
Anybody faced the similar situation? I am really scared. I have no bleeding and have very mild early pregnancy symptoms ( mild nausea and tiredness)

Please help! Freaking out.

Are these two tests maybe positive or are they just negative? I have very very bad line eyes.

Test faint

Maybe silly of me but I was curious so I tested today and I am 11 weeks today but the line was quite faint… the digital still says 3+ but kinda made me anxious now any advice sorry.

Early signs

Did anyone experience any signs before their first positive test/missed period? I’m feeling very sick, but not sure if it’s even possible to get any signs this early. (Week after ovulation)

HELP

My last period was April 5th. I have PCOS so have irregular periods. I took multiple tests since and all came back negative.
I took 6 tests last week still all negative. I took one on Monday evening and it was positive instantly. I took another 4 and all the same.
Bought a clear blue and it says 3+ weeks???
I'm so confused!
I've self referred but the wait is absolutely killing me!
I need some sort of peace of mind as I've been ttc for 2 years since my last baby

Preg test

Hi all, I had unprotected sex 4 weeks ago, can a test still show as negative if positive but I’m having pregnancy symptoms and tests r all negative thanks x

Tests

I found out Im pregnant over a week ago and obviously when I first tested it was very light but then got really dark but then the past couple days it got and little lighter again is that normal ?
Am i overthinking it ?

Line eyes?

So I am 9 weeks PP, about to be 10. We waited the 6 weeks to have any sexual activity, and obviously used pull out method and know our risks. But hadn’t got a period and was wondering why so took a test yesterday (randomly in afternoon not first morning pee) was truly negative. Not really any background line or shadow. Then this morning I noticed I’m bleeding brown/light pink, wiped that away then have like really DARK thick blood, almost blood clotty. Anyways, I used first morning pee this morning this time and it very visibly and obviously has a background line. Showed up right away. How I tested with my son was this way… no line at all and negative then test again and super faint, then darker and darker each test. My thing is that I’ve never experienced implantation bleeding or spotting with my pregnancies so I’m curious what you all think??? Picture attached.

When did you get pregnant with baby #2?

Hi!! We recently wanted to start trying for baby number 2. I am currently 12 Dpo but also over a day late on my period. My cycle is usually 23 days long & most of my life it has been consistent. I tested this morning & was still negative but also no period.

Is there a change of seeing a positive ?

I’m confused honestly 🥲

Clear blue digital

Has anyone had a negative result from a clear blue digital but opened it up (yes I know we aren’t meant to 😂) and had 3 lines and ended up being pregnant but v early on? I’m now 1 day late and usually bang on.

Can anybody else see a really faint line?

Me and my partner can in person but it’s very hard to see on the photo (best I could get) I’m either 10/11dpo. I’m due my period in 3 days. But, this morning I had a very tinge of brown discharge. This test was taken in the afternoon after a 4 hour wee hold so that’s why it could be faint but when we took one Sunday it was nothing on it. Just curious if anyone can see it as well? I’ll also be testing first thing in the morning 😁

positive tests ?

i’ve taken 3 tests the 1st and 3rd are morning wee and middle is later in the day . they are very faint came up straight away with in the time frame . are these positive ? if so i must be very early as their so faint , can see them better in person will add more pics to comments

GP is useless

So my period is basically 2 weeks late I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. Every test since has been negative but I’ve had no bleeding or anything. I’ve also never missed a period before. It’s not due to stress or health conditions. I’ve contacted the gp and they won’t give me a blood test or anything and the tests just keep saying negative so I have no clue what to do it’s so confusing and frustrating so I can’t even find out if I’m acc pregnant or not, I’m not even going to find out

Very confused

I had a miscarriage on the 28th May and my tests got lighter but never completely negative and now I’m getting positives again but unsure if I can trust them !
They digital have stayed on 2-3 weeks for 5 days !

Would you say this is a faint positive?

Let me know!
