Testing Question

Hi there im new here so im sorry if this
is in the wrong place :oops:
ok well I was taken off the mini pill
quite a while ago due to a blood disorder
I have been told that I am not able to use
hormonal contriception anymore :?
:shock: so ever since my husband & I
have had to use barrier forms ie
condoms.
About 2weeks ago almost exactly inbetween
periods, we were making love and the
condom ripped and slipped off :oops:
:cry: we didnt realise until after and I
had to go to a&e to have it removed as
we couldnot retrieve it. Now last week
again we were making love as married
couples do and again the condom split it
didnt slip off but we still only noticed
afterwards. :shock:
my q is, I did a test yesterday on the
evening. After 6 mins there was a really
faint line almost a watermark but there
was alittle colour in it,in the result
window. Is this nothing or is it a
positive result?
Thanx confused xx

Id test again mate, maybe with a more
reliable/better brand. Clearblue is the
way to go.

1.99?? I aint never heard of that!!
Doesnt sound reliable to me atall!!
Clearblue is the best in england yes, u
can get it from pretty much all
pharmacies(pricey) and
supermarkets(cheaper), places like
superdrug and boots. They r bout 10quid
tho wherever u go...Thts if u r from
england?!!? But anyway they r the best.
And get better contraception, like the
injection. Its more reliable
:d

My dr wont put me on the depo injection or
any other pill hormone based contriseptive
anymore :cry: I have a blood disorder
which means that I have high risk of
cloting.
I was on depo about 3 and a 1/2 years ago
but my blood test results weren't very
good so I was taken off it.
I will get a clearblue test today from
boots or moss pharmacy, do you think that
it is too early to test though? Or would
it be ok now?
Thanx for your reply's by the way you are
being a big help & I am so sorry for
all of the q's :lol:

D.O. N.O.T. Pay attention to the lines
the don't mean nothing all you pay
attention to is the screen and whether it
says pregnant or not pregnant. Well
better luck next time when you test

Funny how you state" making love as
married couples do" it almost sounds like
if youre not married youre not making love
or that if youre not married you shouldnt
be having intercourse. Anyhoo.....

By the way you need to pay attention to
both lines in each box. If you got a
faint line and its colored then its most
likely positive.

I might have missed this if you said it
already (i just woke up and am still
alittle squinty. Lol), but have you
actually missed your period yet? If not,
that might explain the wonky results.
Also, a cheap test is no less reliable
than an expensive one... Some of the
expensive ones can just detect the hormone
sooner.

Okay let me restate what I said so you
don't get confused, emma2 said that you
need to pay attention to the lines in each
box=don't listen to that. That only
applied to the first test you took. With
the clearblue digital you only pay
attention to the window that says pregnant
or not pregnant. Not the lines that you
see when you eject the stick. And like I
said once before good luck testing next
time

My best experience with tests was with
first response. I hadn't even missed my
period and I got an obvious posistive
result. I know alot of the ladies on
here don't like that brand but just lettin
ya know that it's never steered me wrong
:wink: maybe you could try a first
response?

You would be better off taking your
pregnancy test with your first morning
urine when the hcg hormone would be most
concentrated. All pregnancy kits advise
this.
The next time you restest, take it first
thing in the morning.
If you do not wish to become pregnant, you
should look into an iud. Very effective.
No hormones. Or a diaphram/cervical cap
to use along with the condoms. Double the
protection never hurt anyone.
Good luck!

If you take a first response, it says that
you can test at any time of the day.
