Did anyone's BFP take a while to show on a test?Please help!
Hi, I have briefly migrated over from TTC! I'm on month 6 TTC no. 2 now and AF is 6 days late.
On monday at 2 days late i tested with a FR and a very faint line appeared within the 3 minutes of waiting. So I did a CBD that night and it said 'not pregnant'
So Wednesday I did another FR and the same faint line appeared again, it was possibly slightly darker than Monday's.
I looked on FR website and it said any line no matter how faint is a positive, but just trying not to get my hopes up yet as CBD was a BFN.
I rang FR helpline yesterday and asked and the lady said any line is a positive, but i can't believe it until I see a proper line as i've heard of people getting evap lines and things like this although the lady on helpline said if the lines appeared in the time then its not an evap.
I have no more FRs to use but one Tesco HPT left so will try that in the morning. But terrified nothing is going to show. If nothing does show i'm going to be so worried, as i don't know where AF is and if these lines are faint positives it is surely not a good sign that the hormones aren't increasing enough to show a stronger line.
As experienced PG ladies (!) can anyone please tell me what they think to this/whether it happened to them/recommendations of best or most sensitive tests to use - I am getting desperate to know - it has been a LOOOONG week not knowing!
Many thanks, I hope to be joining you all soon!

I have never had experience of getting a bfn then doing another and getting a bfp tho but I have heard that a test can give a false negative but never a false posative so maybe thats a good sign.
Personally I would spend no more money on tests- use the last one you have and book an appointment with your gp- either to book in your pregnancy or to see what he says
I hope you get the result you want xx
I am just so confused and the more time that passes the less confident i feel that this is my BFP, i keep expecting AF to turn up at any minute.
Thanks again, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My positive took a while to show. My normal cycle of 28 days had been a bit patchy for the few months before, 33 days 39 days and a 29 day. I was 2 days over, counting a 28 day cycle, although i didnt really know if that made me late or not! Had period type cramps, i was grouchy and wanted to eat every single piece of chocolate i could lay my hands on! This was absolutely my normal pre-period routine. This started on Thursday but still no show by saturday. I did a FR on saturday afternoon (i know maybe should have been a morning one) and got BFN !!! Pains carried on so decided to do morning on sunday - again BFN !!! Monday morning - BFN!! These were all FR. Tuesday still nothing so, decided to do finally FR on Tueday night as was going out of my head by then, did it about 8pm and got BFP!!!! couldnt believe it, so jumped in the car and went to tesco and bought CBD - had to see it in words!!! Got the new one that tells you conceived time (approx) another BFP - and said 1-2 weeks!!! so i was a couple of weeks pregnant and it had taken almost a week to show up!!
Hang in there! Got any pains? Maybe wait a couple of days and try CB instead?
Hope this helps, sorry if a bit long!

Now you've mentioned it I have 2 more symptoms, severe grouchiness and feeling so hungry all day even after a big meal!
I am having stomach cramps, more painful and like stabbing pains rather than AF pains. And if i stand up too quickly get a very sharp pain in my lower abdomen. Also got backache and keep getting pains in my left shoulder for some random reason!

Really hope this isn't the case with you and you get good news from your doc
Fingers crossed xx
Went to doctors yesterday and she did a test which came up with (another!) faint line. I am just worried that the line isn't getting any darker. I also mentioned the shoulder pain but she didn't seem bothered by it as i hadn't had any one sided stomach pain (?!). Had cramps all over but not only on one side. The shoulder pain has happened 3-4 times and feels like a stabbing pain in the tip of my shoulder. She thinks I may have just picked up a virus?!
I had already been referred for a scan to identify what was causing probs with my periods so waiting for a letter to come through about this and hopefully something will show up on there.
In the meanwhile I haven't booked in or anything yet, as don't want to tempt fate when i haven't had a strong line. Just got to wait and test again this week!
Hope to be joining you soon!
