More of a faint shadow than a faint line

I can't even detect it in a photo but there is a faint shadow (not line) where the line should be. Is the shadow just part of the (eBay cheapie) test?

I didnt use fmu as was up most of the night with dc2 and weed all night.

By my calculations I'm 13dpo (normally have a short cycle/short luteal phase of 8 days) AF nowhere to be seen and the preAF cramps have subsided.

Is it worth getting mildly excited? What do you think?

Thanks.

Good luck for Tuesday. AF arrived with a vengeance for me today- glad I can start on a new month and just hope that was a one off weirdly long cycle. Thanks for all the support c

Thanks! You didn't sound flippant- I know what you meant x

OP posts:
Allstoppedup · 27/03/2015 15:30

Oh just read that back and realised a raspberry might seem really flippant!

I didn't mean it that way. TTC is so stressful and it's horrible when something gets your hopes up.

Sorry!

Allstoppedup · 27/03/2015 15:28

Oh pppfffttt, (big raspberry).

How rubbish for you zippy hope you get yours soon.

You t. mrsfaz (I think I recognize you from earlier conception threads!) Flowers

mrsfazruns · 27/03/2015 13:51

Well that's just rubbish!!! Sorry it's not the answer yku wanted!! The whole TTC thing is so stressful!!

I am 6dpo and so hoping for the BFP this month and already symptom watching is driving me mad!! PLUS got a 2nd temp spike this morning and positive OPK which are "signs" apparently but know I'll be disappointed when Mother Nature calls x
