*sensitive? * faint positive?

Hi ladies, this is my first post but I did answer to some of your posts... I hope you can help me here!

I'm 41 now. After 4 years TTC, 3 IVF/ICSI cycles, 4 transfers (1 ectopic with removal of right tube, and 1 gave us our DD), we're trying to conceive naturally as at the moment we can't really do much else. Today I'm at 13 days after positive ovulation test. I had a wee at 2am, and another a few minutes ago. I've got a cold so I wanted to take sudafed for my nose, and thought "better checking"...

What do you think? Can you see a faint line? I'm getting mad, didn't sleep at all last night (my daughter has a cold), and fell totally numb.

Thank you for any comment!

Hi dear, I have used this brand test kit before and have gotten similar lines like yours twice. Both times end up not preg. Based on the advice given here by other ladies, better to use pink dye test kits like first response which would be more accurate. Or u can test a few days later when the line would be darker for strong positive. But I'm keeping fingers crossed for you and hope youa re preg :) 😃

Thank you dear, your answer is helping me keeping my f feet on the ground! Indeed it's tough to say if this kind of result is a positive or not, I wish Clearblue had a page on their website with pictures of positive and negative tests, each commented with the number of days post ovulation, and with the outcome of an eventual pregnancy.Also, thank you for the advice, I'll try to find a First Response later today... I'll keep you posted!

I can see something but I would suggest a different test as ive heard these can be notorious for false positives.

Hi Jaygee, indeed that's why I asked on this forum. It looks a bit strange (but I haven't missed my period yet), and it's be too good to be true. I'll update the page later so other ladies may benefit to know whether something that looks like this is actually a false positive.

Got the first response early tests today, but I couldn't resist until tomorrow and took one at about 12:45 (so no first urine of the day) and this is what I got. Faint positive again. I'll keep testing, but I'm ready for a biochemical pregnancy.

I can see a line but it is faint. I'd perhaps try tomorrow morning with first urine of the day. Good luck xx

I can definitely see a line, fingers and toes crossed for you that it continues. As others have said I've found this brand definitely the most reliable early test, so I would say you're pregnant!

Hi ladies, still posting here with images because I hope this may be of help to the community in the future. I've taken a Clearblue test every day, with the first urine of the morning, and they all look faint within the three minute time frame.

The First Response test, instead, was taken mid morning (I couldn't wait!)

The thing is, to compare the tests of course they all need to have dried out, and this is how they look like today, mid morning.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be a biochemical, but I'm failing at really admitting it.

I think I'll keep on testing. Apologies for the spam, I'm going to post it every day until it clears out.
