    Faint line on FR - AF over a week late

    Hi all,

    I'm new, so please be kind

    I've been on the pill for the last four months. I recently had an ear infection and took antibiotics and also missed a few pills during this month. I started the sugar tablets last Friday and AF hasn't shown up. On Saturday, I did a First Response test which came up with a very very faint pink line. I've done another one this morning and the line is there again. It is still extremely faint.

    It is driving me crazy - whats going on?? Usually my period starts within two days of going on to the sugar pills.

    If anyone could give me any advice it would be much appreciated

    Thank you for your reply

    I called my doctor this morning and I can't get in until next week! Its so frustrating - I just want to see a nice clear pink line! I'm worried if I get too excited yet I'll jinx myself!

    Yup, sounds like congratulations are in order! Go have a blood test for confirmation

    If you want, you could put a link to a photo in here so we can judge for you, but a line's a line in the pregnancy testing world

    Sounds promising
    With both my kids (although not conceived on the Pill), they were both squinty lines.

    Quiet congrats!

    Thank you

    I'll post a pic when I get home.

    If I have my dates wrong, is there a possibility though that I might have tested too early and it could be a chemical pregnancy or something? I've probably spent too much time on google trying to work out whats going on - I just find it so hard to believe!

    We have a nearly 8 year old son, and I've desperately wanted to have another baby for years, but DH hasn't been too keen. If this sticks, it will be so wonderful!

    As Teni said, a line is a line, and the fact that you've had a line on two different tests is very positive! Congratulations!

    I would say you are pregnant! A line is a line and of 2 different tests I would say it is unlikely to be a false positive.

    Yep, a line is a line...buy a few more tests on the way home and watch it get darker and darker until you see your GP
    Darkest lines are usually first wee of the day

    Congratulations!

    Thanks

    Yes I'm completely addicted to POAS!! I was planning on getting some more on the way home. Hopefully it will be a bit clearer and I'll post a pic to get your opinions!

    was unxsect

    Ok, so I got some more tests on the way home, and just to play with me, the control line took a while to come up on this one which has never happened before. I might do another one later to be sure, but here is the photographic evidence

    Oh and ignore the 'was unxsect' at the top of my last post - I accidentally typed the image verification into the title!

    Its not the greatest photo, but its definitely there!
