With my last pregnancy, I got much stronger positives at night than with fmu for some reason. Don't give up hope just yet! However, with my chemical I had a positive digi one day and the next morning it was negative. I would take another hpt later today and see what that says. It could very well be you just didn't have a high concentration in your fmu. Best wishes <3

Thanks for the reply, I won't give up hope just yet!

I'll do some more tests later and tomorrow and see what happens! :) x

I'm also getting loads of cramping today, but not like AF cramping, it feels like pulling/tightening feeling. Is this a good sign or a bad sign I wonder?!

4 hours before I get home to test, today is going too slow!

Honestly these tests are more finicky than a lot of people lead on...I would trust the positives because SO many things can effect the levels of hgc in your urine. Too much urine on the test, not enough, what you've been drinking... You are still early so I have hope for you! Don't expect strong positives for at least another 4-5 days. I have 2 kids and I never got a strong positive on my first one...sometimes the tests have more dye than others even. Good luck to you!!!

Also on the cramping, I never felt more like I was going to start a period than when I was pregnant! LOL

I even had spotting with both mine which is terrifying when you're preg, but they are both healthy!

Rest easy!

Thanks for the positivity, it really helps! :)

Yes, I think I need to be more patient and look at the bigger picture in a few days time, unless AF arrives in the meantime of course!

I love these forums, everyone's so supportive!

Yeah I know it's reaaally hard not to jump to conclusions, but with pregnancy tests a positive is a positive and a negative is a maybe ;)

I read through a forum the other day and was totally addicted to it (that and poas)...any who the woman who started was thinking she was nuts because she had all the signs...she found out later that she had PCOS. Well the post was from 3 years ago and yesterday I saw her post a positive pregnancy test! I cried...I was irrationally excited for her! Felt like I knew her after reading the posts.

Keep us posted! I'd love to hear the outcome! My AF is due tomorrow, bfns so far. We weren't actually ttc, but it would be great news none the less!

I know what you mean, it's like you know all the people, after reading all about their most intimate details! :)

Yes, I'll be sure to keep you posted! Thanks!

Ok, so when I got home from work yesterday I took the following tests, and just so you know my pee was extremely strong as I hadn't drunk or pee'd for 4 hours! (darkest pee i've tested with yet!)....

Clear Blue Digital = 'not pregnant'
Internet cheap dip stick = extremely faint line, fainter than the one I got two days ago (when I got 'pregnant 1-2' on digi)
Clear Blue (not digital) = very faint, see below pic
First Response = very faint, see below pic

I posted on the 'unsure' gallery on here and so far 100% of 27 have said that they're positive... you can view poll here (just add the www. at the beginning!)

However, if the digi test gave me a positive reading 2 days ago, and the dip sticks had faint line, surely two days later with extrememly strong pee, I shouldn't be getting 'not pregnant' and an even fainter line?

AF is due the day after tomorrow (Friday) so I guess I'll just have to wait and see if it arrives, but the fainter the lines get and the more I get a 'not pregnant' the more I think I've had a chemical?!

Oh, and my temps are still really high as you can see here (I'm pretty sure I Ovulated a day later than fertility friend predicts so I'm currently 13dpo not 14dpo)...

But then I'm not sure if temps would drop straight away if chemical had occurred?

I have no idea what's going on! It's just a waiting game right now, but I'm so impatient!

I'm not going to test today (to stop me analysing too much!) I'll leave it until tomorrow PM I think and hold me pee for 4 hours again so it's nice and strong (my FMU never appears as strong for some reason?).

watch this space! ...

Usually the digital ones are less reliable because there must be more HCG to be detected compared to other test but congratulations!
