    what do you all think?

    Hi Lena_lowe,

    It's a bit unclear from the tests you show, is there any reason you took apart the digital one?

    I took loads of the pound shop tests when I saw a faint line, but it wasn't until I finally gave in and took a first response test that I was convinced....

    My boobs really really hurt before I found out I was pregnant. Can you get to the doc during the week to get it confirmed? Congrats if you are :)

    i am going try on monday you know when you know you are but nothing say you are i just feel as if i am done few more test i'm actually only 8 days late but still im going mad!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,862 ✭✭✭✭January


    How far pregnant would you be if you were pregnant? You should be getting very clear positives if your period was due a few days ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 128 ✭✭PuddingHead


    Clear blue digital tests come with 2 tests in the box, if both say positive congrats.

    I used one, went to the doc and told her the test came out positive, she was making conversation and said, what brand when I said clearblue, she said well they're pretty accurate congrats!

    I was very freaked out doing the tests and at the beginning too but you'll be fine and there's only so much peeing on sticks you can do before you drive yourself nuts, pop to the doctor on Monday and get confirmation... (Also wouldn't hurt to start taking some folic acid if you're not already :) )

    A lot of those symptoms could be dut to a late period though. The early signs of pregnancy are very similar to PMS.

    We were trying for a long time, and several times based upon 'symptoms' I was sure I must be pregnant, only to discover I wasn't.

    From the images you show of your first early morning test I would say that is definitely negative. But if there is any doubt, instead of spending more money on home tests, get to the doctor and get a blood test and urine test. The blood test is the most accurate way to test in early stages. If your BHcg is over 7 then it is a good indicator of early pregnancy. Then you want it to double regularly.

    Get yourself to a doctor, even an oncall one or a walk in clinic. Set your mind at rest. All the wondering could be affecting your cycle also.

    Fingers crossed for you.

    I am going doctors tomorrow for bloods but i did one test this morning with 1st urine and it was negative now starting to think i am just very later period


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 128 ✭✭PuddingHead


    over thinking it has led to being late so many times for so many women, so try and relax this evening and the doctor will let you know tomorrow one way or another!

    Good Luck

    I AM PREGNANT!!!!

    Not sure how far i am yet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,510 ✭✭✭nikpmup


    Yay!!! Many congrats! I've been checking in on this thread to see how you've been getting on - I'm delighted for you!!

    If the first day of your last period was the 15 th June, and you've a 28 day cycle, you'd be about 5 weeks, and your due date will be around the 22nd March next year, according to the babycenter due date calculator. :)

    What? On whst did they base the positive result if your bloods hadn't come back? I'd be ringing the surgery first thing to demand answers!

    That's awful Lena. You must have been so excited when you got the first call. I can't believe they fobbed you off with a phone call inthe morning for an explanation.

    You poor thing, that is awful for you.

    I would be changing doctors too - not being able to read a basic BHcg test is pretty dreadful IMO. I have seen these tests results myself and they are pretty straight forward once you know what the values mean.

    I also think that if you are never normally late, and are now 13 days late your doctor should be asking some questions there too.

    Thinking of you Lena. Hope things look up for you soon. hugs xxx

    Thanks i'm reading sutff online about bloods being negative when you are in fact pregnant so i am starting to think this now as i am still having all symptoms including a bloated stomach making me look 3 months gone!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 Lena_lowe


    Did a test befor it came up a faint BFP really don't know what to think now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,773 ✭✭✭Synyster Shadow


    hey sorry to hear all there putting you through..
    I would say go with your gut.. and its not really heard of to get a false BFP but its known you can get a false Neg..

    There's nothing worse than been left in Limbo I wish I could give you words of encouragement but I dont know what to say that would help any


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,696 ✭✭✭Lisha


    Hi Lena

    I really don't know what to say and would hate to say the wrong thing,
    But really all you can do is wait maybe a week if possible and test again .
    I eiuld be seeing gp on Monday too as really I can't understand how they gave you such conflicting information .

    Best of luck


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 Lena_lowe

    Lena nobody here can tell you if you're pregnant or not. Please make an appointment and speak to your doctor and in the meantime, please stop torturing yourself with what-if's. Take care

    Doctors wont see me regarding this one because they told me i am and then i was not... and 2nd of all because my bloods came back negative.:mad:

    Then see a different doctor. Even if you're not pregnant - and in fairness, it's unlikely, if your blood hcg was negative - you still need to find out why your period is so late.

    You won't get any definite answers on here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭Hello Lady!


    Lena, I agree with other posters. Only a doctor can tell you what is going on. It is very unlikely for a blood test to come back negative when you are pregnant. You only need a reading of 7 for bHcg to be a positive test. As an indicator my first result 1 day after my period was late and the result was 250. You are either pregnant or you are not and the blood tests are pretty accurate at confirming this. The only time I think there might be a chance of a neg test is if you test too early, or if someone has a very irregular cycle as you don't know when the ovulation/implantation may have occurred.

    Being very late on your cycle could indeed lead you to be very bloated. I know whenever I was late like you I would look huge. The irony is, when you are actually pregnant you don't often look so big so early on.

    Get a different doctor, speak to them about your concerns. They will give you a full check up and at least then you will know what is going on. Only a doctor can assist you now, and worrying and wondering is only more likely to delay your cycle further.

    Best of luck, hope you get sorted out ok with a decent doctor.
