Getting my hopes up again.. ttc sucks!!

Morning, I'm now 11dpo, been trying to conceive for 15 months now.. I feel like It's never going to happen. On the waiting list for a lap and dye for endometriosis and possible pcos. I've taken a frer this morning and a cheapie. I'm sure there's a hint of a second line on the frer and the cheapie has been left for a while so counting it as an evap line. I don't know how many more months I can feel like this. I thought this month was it. Anyone see a line on my frer??

Maybe it's just too early. Has anyone had good positives at 11dpo?

Hi, didn't want to read and run... I can see a very faint line on the FRER. Strangely for some women (incl myself) FRERs tend to be darker later in the day. So when I test I usually get a stronger line in the afternoon or early evening after a couple of hours hold. Maybe that's worth a try if you have a FRER left? I never got a line on a cheapie this early on. 🤞🏼

@NoCallerID thank you for replying. I don't have any left but some are being delivered tomorrow and I'm at work until 4pm so maybe that's a good thing and I can test again when I come home. I'm hoping and praying it'll give me a nice second line. I'm feeling very low and depressed at the moment xx

It’s such an impossibly hard two weeks.
We’ve not been trying for long and it’s still torture. Did you ever have the scan for PCOS. I was diagnosed last year and it definitely makes it easier when you know what you’re dealing with.
I hope the line gets stronger for you.

I see the line.....I don't know exactly when I ovulated but my first test was only a bit darker than that and it was the day before I was due on! At 11 dpo mine would have been a lot lighter.

Please keep us updated!

Hey. How far into it are you? Yes I had a scan last year I had bad bad stomach pains and they found enlarged cysts on my ovaries. They never really gave me much more detail though so still in limbo. Do you see the line on the frer? I have some more being delivered tomorrow so hoping if a more clear answer then 🤞🏻 xx

I'm not sure what dpo to be honest - we thought I'd already ovulated and were out that month! It was our wedding anniversary and DC1 was with her grandparents whilst we stayed in a nice hotel for a night!

Took this cheapie this morning. Waiting on some frer to be delivered today. Sure there's a squinter here. In real life it looks like there could be the start of something x

That was taken 10 minutes after when it had dried. I don't know what to think. I'm crampy and shattered and hungry. Guess I shall wait for frers to be delivered later and see what that says x

I can see a hint of something on the IC. Very light. This is such an emotional rollercoaster. I hope you're ok. The waiting is really difficult xx

I’m sorry but I don’t see anything on any of the tests

I think I can see something on your cheapie ones! Only really faint though so I don't want to get your hopes up. Fingers crossed for you!

Definitely there in real life. So hard to catch on camera. Thanks 😊 I'll keep my fingers crossed for a better answer over the next couple of days x

I've had so many faint lines on those cheap tests, which have turned out to be negative, so please don't get your hopes up OP. I shall cross my fingers for you 🤞
