hey girlies, well it is official, I am absolutely demented by these tests cos I cant believe I am actually pregnant. I have done 5 tests in total since sunday- sunday morning faint line, so I thought and neighbours could also see. Monday morning- FMU and another really faint line, nothing with afternoon urine. Today, tuesday FMU- and line the space of about 4 mins, but still really faint, although looks like the purple colour is trying its damndest to get out!! Did another test at 17.40 today with a fresh batch of tests and very faint line with afternoon urine, not as good as FMU, these tests are 10 MIU by the way. Anyway, on the advice of babezone I dipped one of my tests in plain water to assess them that way, to see if evaps etc were possible, watched test develop in the same way and left it for the same time and compared all three from today- there was not a single evap on the water one, not even a hint of a line. This is what my tests have been like up till now. Oh and I also showed my neighbours my test from FMU, and they could see the line also. So nothing visible at all with water, not even a millimeter evap- does anyone know or have any thoughts on this matter, my last period was 21st feb. Any advice would be appreciated. My average cycles are 25 days btw. Thanks Candice xx

It sounds promising. You probably are pg but as it is still early days you are only getting a faint line. How many more tests have you got? either keep testing or try waiting a couple of days (very hard i know!) HCG doubles every 24-48 hours so line won't get darker until time passes. xx

It could be that because your cycles are shorter the HCG hormone just hasn't built up enough to give you a strong line. My cycles were 24 days and I tested for 5 days after AF was due before I got a good clear reading on a test.

Candice I did aboout 8 tests all whilst shaking from head to toe!! the first for were clear blue where the line was so faint you could have said I was imagining it then I did 4 first response ones that were as clear as day I took all 8 to the doctors they looked at me asif i was completely insane when i asked them to test me to lol.
I'm pretty confident you're pregnant!!!!!!! remember you can get false negatives when its too early but not false positives xxxxxxx

ps congratulations!!

Just to update on what has been going on- I tried cb digi today and came up negative!!!! But my regualr new batch of tests were still comiing up faint!! After researching and phoning the helpline on the box, I found out that many of these digi tests are in fact 50 miu, too weak maybe to detect anything at this stage. So- depressed, I asked the chat ladies what they thought and one of them suggested I do a test there and then so she could time me in real time. My tests atr 10miu remember and as I was doing it I could have sworn that I saw a shadow of a line. Being the paranoid person that I am I asked her if she would have a look at all my tests and make a comparison, I scanned them all into the computer and she came right back to me saying she coukd see lines on them all!!! She also used the exact same tests that I am and has never had an evap on them. This cb digi has really messed with my head, I though t it would help and it really hasnt. Maybe I would have been better buying first response. I have also had kinda pinkish brown discharge when I wipe, not a lot, but a bit last night and this morning, also I had bleeding gums yesterday when I was eating an apple, I never have that. Can anyone shed any light on this? have any of u had experience with the digi that wasnt the best? I think I am pg, but really early , thanks, Candice xx
