Positive test

[Jadeyyy]

Hi everyone. Just done a sainsburys test and it's come out with + and a line but the line going through is a little faint and didn't come up for about a min after. Should I do another?? Am I pregnant

I'm not familiar with the test and how long you have to wait for a result to be valid. Some tests says ignore anything after 3 mins as it is any evaporation line. Best thing to do is read the instructions and see what they say. Also digital are alot easier to use for the early tests.

Yeah. I've used the same one like 5 times before and straight away it has been negative with seconds but it took about 40 seconds for it to go positive today and the line got thicker. Also done a different test and it has come back positive too! But gonna get a clear blue one tonight and do it first thing. Thanks for the reply!

I wouldn't spend a lot of money on the pregnancy test kits. You'll need all your money for the baby items later... start saving now 😂 I bought some really cheap test strips on EBay which a friend had used with both of her pregnancies which are the same as the ones the GP's use. You can get 20 for about £3! They are so easy to use and read. More importantly, they worked.

I've done 3 tests now and all positive!! So think it's a trip to the doctors on Monday.☺️☺️☺️👶🏼

That's fantastic news, congratulations!!! The GP won't bother doing a fourth test 😂 I had only done 2 tests and they take your word for it. I had a quick health check with my GP and then are referred to the midwives for your first appointment at the 8 week mark which is about an hour long - medical history is taken as is some blood and urine to test. You just really need to tell them the date of your last period and they work it out 😁👶🏼
