Hello everyone,

I have been spared line based woes up to now (Cycle 4) - as my period plays ball. This month, it does not.

No tender boobs, quite nauseous, no pre-period weight gain. Two days late - and THIS (not very exciting).

I used a FRER because thats all Amazon could deliver at short notice and I'm not convinced but wondered of anyone sees anything? Not a big fan of FRER but nothing has gripped me as a good choice. If you don't that's ok - I'm probably 16 dpo (OPKs aren't happening as it caused arguments).

If this is in the wrong place please tell me - but appreciate your time :)

I hope you get your BFP soon

I can see faint lines on the FRER but I also think they are indent lines. I have had them 3 times with FRER look....

Tiggywinkler · 23/05/2016 14:19

I think you're still in, but OVd late. Don't give up hope yet.

Ahh, maybe it's just a little early then. My faint BFP at 13DPO with this pregnancy was v faint indeed!

The one I opened was the superdrug. Me and FRER are done - I've had indents in the past with them.
No idea re dpo - I had ewcm 5th and 9th may. So minimum 13 dpo.

I think I can see a little something on the Superdrug one - what DPO are you? The month before I got pregnant I had similar very, very faint lines both before and after my period was due. They never got darker and I was sure of when I ovulated so I chalked it down to a chemical. AF was 5 days late in the end.

AmyB1986 · 22/05/2016 22:06

Hi op, I can see a line but it's an indent. Frer are notorious for indent lines. Usually they disappear within the 3 min development time but sometimes they stay there. Also cracking the case open can make the indent more visible and allow it to change colour. I found this out the hard way. Cracked open a frer that had a white indent line only to have it change to a faint pink colour as it dries much quicker than if it's left in the case.

Hopeful you get your bfp soon X

Thanks for you input - husband doesn't think there's anything there. I wouldn't bet the house on it. Super drug one from today attached.

I'm going to leave it a week now - it's unlikely to be positive and I suppose it won't change anything now!

If I invert it I can see a tiny change of colour but it's so faint I wouldn't want to bet on it. I always found internet cheapies the best for early tests.

No, I have no idea of my ovulation date. I tried using OPK sticks and it made me pretty miserable. I last BD two weeks ago so I can't imagine this is going anywhere. I want my next cycle!

OP posts:
PinkParsnips · 22/05/2016 08:25

I can see something! although I would think at 17dpo it would be darker, are you sure of your ov date? Can you get a different type of test today? Good luck Flowers

Cateroo · 22/05/2016 08:19

I'd have expected something more than this - it's very light/probably nothing and is certainly no darker!

Here - this is today's offering. I don't know.

I can see a verrrry faint line too. I think I ovulate late as my BFPs (1 sleeping beside me, 1 still doing time in the inside) have been faint at first and often taken a good few minutes to appear.

m33r · 22/05/2016 06:49

Have you tested today cateroo?

I see something on the first pic.

FRER are great, pretty much best you can get.

Tiggywinkler · 21/05/2016 22:25

Yep, I still see it too.

POAS in the morning!

broodypsycho · 21/05/2016 21:48

I can't see anything sorry.

haveacupoftea · 21/05/2016 21:11

I have inverted the colour on it - i think i see a very very faint greenish line?

cheeeseplease · 21/05/2016 20:32

Hi Cateroo. I see a faint line in both.. and believe me I've looked at A LOT of these tests. I would be optimistic if I were you! Do another tomorrow or Monday - bet it'll be a lot stronger then

m33r · 21/05/2016 19:38

I see something. I reckon that if its negative they tend to be stark white. Good luck! Come back and let us know x
