Hi all, I'm 7dp5dt and already we are testing. My husband said he can see the faint line, I think I an but need confirmation that I'm not just forcing myself to see what I want.

Thanks in advance x

i know most will say negative but my eyes r playing tricks on me. i think im just seeing evaporation lines.

Hollyandtheiveee · 02/07/2017 11:04

I can see today's. It is def lighter than yesterday's but that doesn't nec mean anything. They're not quantitative tests. You will get a stronger line eventually if you're pregnant, but you can't tell much from a lighter line today. You're still very early on and only equivalent of 13 dpo. Keep testing and good luck. The only other way to know for sure would be a blood test tomorrow and then one two days later to check it's doubling. If your clinic doesn't do this, you can do it privately. I know how hard it is to wait.

I can't see today's, but that may just mean your urine was slightly too diluted this morning, especially as it's still quite early. I just did another test after getting an obvious positive on a 20mlu test 2 days ago and the line was a bit darker but not majorly. AF is now 2 days late.

Good luck. I'm sure it will darken over time.

CatsCantFlyFast · 02/07/2017 08:49

My frers were this light until about 16dpo. A digital and a Superdrug tests were conclusive though, even when the frer were barely there

MrsWifey · 02/07/2017 08:14

I can see a line on both tests.

Writerwannabe83 · 02/07/2017 08:09

I can see a faint line on yesterday's but not today's.

Are the FRERs you are using the early response ones you can use 6 days pre-period or are they just the standard ones?

With my current pregnancy I used just the standard ones and even on the day of my period being due, 14-15 dpo, the line was still incredibly faint.

WinterRose92 · 02/07/2017 07:58

I think I can see a very faint line in the 2nd one, too. I would try the clear blue digital test. When I took my test I could see a very faint line, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. To be sure, I took the clear blue digital one and it estimated I was 1-2 weeks pregnant. My son is now nearly 7 months old!
Give it a go, good luck! X

ladybunnikins · 02/07/2017 07:50

I'm sorry, Katherine, the lines look incredibly faint for a FRER on the equivalent of days 12 & 13 dpo. I think it might be a chemical pregnancy. The IVF process is so hard but especially this part.

1stX · 02/07/2017 07:48

Hi, I know it's tempting to test early but that will drive you crazy! A few days wait will make all of the difference. You're just going to stress yourself out. Most tests are only really accurate from the day of your missed period and even then they can be hard to read. I took these 3 days apart. The top one being on the day of my missed period.

I've got my fingers crossed for you but please for your own sanity the best you can do in the meantime is try and relax, eat clean and wait xx

HumpHumpWhale · 02/07/2017 07:05

Yesterday's now looks like an evap to me. I think you're probably pregnant but it's still too early to be sure. Sorry!

Hi all, so here's todays pictures.
Today I'm 8dp5dt and the line looks a little lighter than yesterday which has me a little worried, I don't know if it's because yesterday's one has dried.
What do you all think?

The first one I took was yesterday so, this one is a little bit darker but tomorrow's should be even more so. Not sure I could wait till my OTD, think I'm just going to test everyday till then, haha!

DandySeaLioness · 01/07/2017 11:26

the hormones double every 2 days so it might not be that much darker in the morning if it's been less than 48 hrs. That said, I completely understand that it's easier said than done

Thanks everyone, I'm going to test in the morning. Praying for a darker line, picture will be posted afterwards haha! x

dperkins64013 · 01/07/2017 10:09

I can see a very very faint line, good luck! X

DandySeaLioness · 01/07/2017 09:24

that was meant to say "I used"*
Once again congrats!

DandySeaLioness · 01/07/2017 09:23

Katherine, the app is used Negative Me, I found it in the App Store but I'm sure you'll find lots if you type in negative photo. My positive looked just like yours, I'm 32 weeks now :)

katherine7172 · 01/07/2017 09:00

Thanks for doing that, I'm in shock after looking at that picture! What app did you use? I'll keep testing! X

OP posts:

user1498895645 · 01/07/2017 08:57

definitely a line, best way to check is if you get an app to show you the negative imagine- the positive lines glow.
congratulations! it ould get darker in the next couple of days.

I feel a bit in shock, don't know whether to believe it, if that makes sense. I do have normal tests still so I'll use them for another couple of days ans save the clear blue digital for a few days time then. Thanks for the help guys! X

OP posts:

NoWordForFluffy · 01/07/2017 08:11

Definitely a line. If it's that faint though, I wouldn't use a Clear Blue for another 4-5 days (or at least until you have a much clearer line on the FRER).

Good luck!

Mustang27 · 01/07/2017 08:09

I see a line

Hedgehog80 · 01/07/2017 07:59

Def a line there !

KitKat1985 · 01/07/2017 07:59

I can see a very faint line!

Icklepickle101 · 01/07/2017 07:56

Clear blue digi have a much higher miu than FRER so I'd leave it until at least 12dpo before usbig that one!
