    Hi,

    I'm TTC for the past 8 months.
    This month didnt get a normal period, lots of pregnancy signs, tiredness, sore boobs, nausea etc.
    So i did a digital test and it came back negative. That was last week, still signs are there!
    So did a test today and i got a very very faint line!
    I used a clearblue plus test, the horizontal line was there but there was a very faint vertical line, even DH saw it!

    Anyway, i'm wondering has anyone had this happen??
    I dont know if i am looking too much into this or if it is a positive result!

    All advice, stories etc welcome!!

    have no experience but.... ooooh how exciting! A line is a line girl! get thee to the doctors for a blood test pronto. Have a happy and healthy 9 months.:D

    In my opinion, you probably ovulated later than you thought, so when you did the test first time round you were just a bit too early.

    CONGRATS!!!!

    Positive is positive. Congratulations :D

    Don't rush to the doctors as the tests they use aren't generally as sensitive as the home pregnancy tests and it may come up negative there.

    Don another test at home in a day or two with the first urine of the morning when hcg levels will be highest. This should give you the definate positive that you're waiting for :)

    Go and buy the digital test again. I had a very faint line on my first pregnancy (he's now 8) and has myself up the walls. Went and got the digital test and it clearly said pregnant. I find those flipping lines a nitemare!!
    Congrats tho!!

    A blood test would show the positive result no problem, especially as it's already appearing on the test strip.

    I would agree though that the strip tests GPs have are crappy, and not nearly as sensitive as the internet ones (10miu)

    Had all the signs of period coming, over 3 years and was over a year TTC and was convinced still hadnt fallen preggers, waited a few more days & still no period, did a test and was pregnant. alot of signs of period are similar to early preg signs. A positive is a positive - good luck.

    That happened to me, well I actually took an early test about 4 days before my period was due, as advertised :rolleyes: but I guess I was just too early cause a day after I should have gotten it I got a clear + :D

    Congrats and best of luck :)
