Line eyes at the ready!!

I'm not going mad am I? There is a vv faint line here? 8/9 days post ovulation. I'm super thirsty all the time. Been waking up to pee for the past 2 nights.

@Whyhaveidonethis I see it - defo a squinter! Wait a couple of days and retest, congratulations 🥳

[Sharlo53]

I see it!

[Whyhaveidonethis]

Phew!! Yesterday's was too faint to even take a picture of!! I KNEW it was there though. Fingers crossed it's not a chemical again.

[LouH1981]

I can see it! Not bad for 8/9 dpo 😊 Keeping absolutely everything crossed x

[Loveislandlydia]

I see it! Fingers crossed for you

[Whyhaveidonethis]

Thanks all. Feel really pessimistic about it this afternoon for some reason

[RogueV]

I see it

[MrsA2015]

Keep positive OP , I can see a line!

[LouH1981]

@Whyhaveidonethis probably your minds way of protecting you. Try to stay positive or distract yourself if you can (easy to say I know).
Will you test again tomorrow am?

[Loveislandlydia]

Definitely self-protection mechanism. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but just keep as busy as you can so it doesn’t get you too down!

[Whyhaveidonethis]

@LouH1981 and @Loveislandlydia maybe. I'm over analysing everything right now.

[CottonSock]

Don't see it sorry

[Sunflower2019]

Keeping everything crossed for you x

[maria2bela]

Can defo see something, retest today or tomorrow x

[Whyhaveidonethis]

It's hardly there this morning. Maybe it was a pink indent. Feel really emotional and can't stop crying.

I think testing at 8/9 DPO is always risky (and god knows I've done it so many times!)

The problem is that when an embryo initially tries to implant it releases an initial amount of hcg - FRER are so sensitive that they can pick this up. Problem is that human fertility odds show that most of the time implantation doesn't complete - that's why sooooo many people get a very faint line on 9DPO (which is the most common day for implantation to occur) and then a negative the next

[Whyhaveidonethis]

@itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted I think you are right. It's been 21 months though and I am feeling so depressed about the whole thing.

[ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia]

Hope are ok OP. Have you tested today?

[LouH1981]

@Whyhaveidonethis Been thinking about you, hope all is ok. Good luck for today’s test if you are doing one xx

[Whyhaveidonethis]

Tested last night and it was there and stronger. This morning it was very faint again. Going to try to hold off testing till Saturday, bet I cant

[maria2bela]

@Whyhaveidonethis that's fab! Honestly you're still quite early and 2 days will make a great difference x

[Whyhaveidonethis]

I feel really low about it right now. All symptoms seem to have gone and I could just cry. Thank you though @maria2bela I appreciate you reminding me to be sensible! I actually really needed that reminder.

[maria2bela]

No probs :)...Did you cave yet lol? X

[Whyhaveidonethis]

I've started bleeding. :(

[LouH1981]

Oh @Whyhaveidonethis I am so very sorry 💐 Mother Nature can be bloody cruel at times. TTC is such a rollercoaster of emotions.
I’m sure you have already thought about this or may have done it already but have you asked your GP for the 21 day blood test to check your hormone levels? xxxxx
