Yes, but they are colourless.

Oh god. It's so faint that I'm wondering if I'm imagining it! I think it has colour to it...
Did one a couple of days ago and there was nothing, so the fact that I can see something now is good. Isn't it?
AF due tomorrow.

When I say 'see' I meant by holding it into the light and squinting

I got an extremely faint line on an ebay cheapy a few weeks ago. I tested later on in the day with a Tesco test and the line was still faint but was obvious. Just out of interest and being slightly obsessed I used an ebay test a couple of nights ago and it came up with a strong positive straight away. So I think you have to be quite pregnant for it to show up strongly. Sounds promising to me - if you are pregnant the line should keep getting darker so do another test in the morning. Good luck!

Thanks for the replies!

Amester, first of all, Congratulations! I hope all is going well with your pregnancy... It's encouraging to hear that you had an extremely faint line too

abitchilly, oh I really hope you're right. In fact, when I read what you'd written it made me want to cry! Think I might be feeling a little emotional, but then that could be due to PMT too.

Will test again in the morning.
I'm so not going to be able to sleep tonight

Just to add to Amester's post - I also bought some strips from Ebay. Last Tuesday - so over a week ago now - I did one and it was very very faint, I was almost sure there was something there but asked my husband to check. Kept doing them and they got stronger.

Did one yesterday morning just out of interest and very stong line (almost as strong as control line which seems to be very dark) came up almost immediately.

So fingers crossed and hopefully congrats!

Thanks King, and congratulations!!!

Thanks Amester too - am driving myself mad as have done another one today and got exactly the same incredibly faint line. If I hold it up to the light as if to look through it I can just about see it. I hate this waiting! Have been backwards and forwards to the loo at work today so many times that I'm sure my colleagues must think i'm incontinent No sign of AF though (yet) so there's still a glimmer of hope. Boobs are killing and have had funny tummy pains and I can't think of anything else. Aagh!

If I were you I would buy a 'proper' test I know they are expensive but Clearblue have always been good for me. At least that way you will know for sure. I know it is so frustrating to be not sure.

All the best and keep us updated!

Amester, I wish I could! Am abroad and the ones here are rubbish. Am going to try to be patient and test on Saturday if no AF by then. I'd hope that it'd show up stronger then if I was pg. Please keep your fingers crossed for me!

Yes fingers crossed laughingbuddha! Really hope it all goes well for you. Must be so frustrating not being able to buy a proper test like Clearblue or First Response...

Thanks both!

I caved and just tested again and got a very slightly more visible line Put that together with the boobs, feeling a bit sicky and the lovely EWCM (TMI!) I think I might be up the duff OH MY GOD.

Am still not going to really believe it until I get a much stronger line, so will test again on Sunday!

Yay congratulations - that sounds very promising! I've never had any patience with waiting to test either
