Negative or positive?

in Trying to conceive

I'm 5 days late for my period, I've been having headaches, nausea, lower abdominal pressure, and I keep having to pee. I took two test, one had a faint line and the other was a digital and said not pregnant. I'm going to wait another week to see what happens. Does it sound like I may be pregnant or is it something else?

    Even a faint line is pregnant, the digital tests are no good in early pregnancy because you will get not pregnant until at least a week late. The first response are best because they pick up very early readings. I would say your pregnant alright. Can you stick a picture up?

    As said above even a faint line would be a positive, I think the digital ones aren't always accurate. Give it a wee bit more time and do another, failing that go to your GP for clarification.

    Hi Amber,

    Hope you don't mind me jumping in but i have had exactly the same thing as you.
    Although i am irregular so for me it's hard to know when i'm due and when to test which drives me mad!

    With my first i didn't know until 10 weeks but recently i have been having symptoms like itchy nipple, itchy tummy, gooey CM, lower back pain, weird taste in mouth like metal or iron, nauseous etc.

    Saturday i did a Sainsbury own test and it was negative. Sunday i did the other from the packet and i got a very faint line (see pics). To clarify i went and got a digital CB one and said not pregnant. Now i am so confused, am i aren't i? Was the faint line an error? When shall i test? Am i going mad?!?

    Can anyone shed any light or maybe tell me whether or not i'm imagining things in my head? When shall i re-test?!

    This is the negative with the faint pos.
    I just don't understand why it would go from very faint to digital one saying not pregnant?!

    The digitals require more hcg to be present to pick up a pregnancy. I waited till my af was due before even trying one because they are soo expensive. Congratulations on yr positive test. If u want reassurance test in a day or so and leave the digital for at least 48 hrs so yr hcg can double. (I would wait 3days if retrying a digital personally) x

    Thanks for the advice guys, but for some reason am feeling a lot less hopeful especially hearing Sainsbury has given false positives.

    Also seems like the itchy nipple and nausea seems to have gone down which isn't right is it if anything it should be getting stronger. I think I'll just leave it and not re test, really hate that sudden feeling of disappointment. I'll just put that very faint line down to system error.

    You've definitely got a positive noodles. The digital ones are only good if your a week or so late for af. Congratulations Xxx

    Just thought I would update. I just did Asda own brand and First Response and both a clear single line so a total BFN.

    What first response test did you do noodles as the first response test I took only gives you a single line it doesn't give you a plus sign, not sure about asda tests. x

    O no noodles! Sorry to see those tests! Hopefully af will arrive for you asap if your not to have a bfp so you at least know where you stand with your cycles! Are you normallyrregular? Xx

    No I'm normally irregular which is why it's so hard to know when to test. Its a nightmare!

    That's why with my first I was 10 weeks along and throwing up all day before I tested. Oh well.

    Off to my first Aqua Zumba tonight, hoping losing some weight will make me regular again! xx

    I think exercise is good in general, have a nice time, work off that disappointed of a bfn. X

    I would try again in a day or so , my 1st looked like the tesco 1 with the v.faint pos , sometimes takes awhile for the hcg to pick up , don't mean to get your hopes up but it can't pick up hcg if it isn't there - in my experience anyway , good luck , please keep us posted x x

    Like u noodles I am very irregular! Sometimes 4wks sometimes 6wks! And it's always been like that even when I was a size 10 so I'm not putting it down to weight! Like ur sainsburys test I did the numark tests they look exactly the same and also use blue dye! And was getting negative results I didn't get a positive result until I was 6wks 3days since my last period and that was very faint on a first response with my morning urine! Also my symptoms used to come and go I'm 16wks 4days now after 3yrs of trying! I'd leave it a couple of days and test with a first response with the first wee of the day! The test with the purple end looks like it has a faint line aswell (maybe just the photo) but keep positive! X

    I can also see a faint line on the second pic.  Noodles, just test again in 2 or 3 days.

    Thanks guys, never knew that about the blue line tests. 

    Still no AF, but still have funny taste right at the back of my mouth weirdly, lower back pain and feel like i am gonna come on any minute now but then when i go and wipe nothing - it's all gooey discharge and when i move it around on the tissue it's stretchy (sorry).

    Hate the waiting for AF game. I just really really don't want to get my hopes up. Specially when i got 2 negatives!
