Faint lines at 14dpo?

Sorry I know this is probably not answerable but I would value people’s experiences.

AF due yesterday/today.

I first tested positive 12dpo (pm) and did a couple of tests both faint positive mainly as I’ve been caught by indents in the past.

I’ve then tested using FMU yesterday am and today and while the lines are marginally darker (I think) they’re still faint.

I did a clear blue (rapid result 25miu) this morning and the line is very faint, I would’ve discounted as hopeful line eyes if it wasn’t for the FRER.

Pics attached. I guess I just expected/hoped them to be Big-Fat-Positive by this point and I’m a bit worried that they’re not.

I know I am pregnant now, I know I can’t know or change what will be either.

Thanks for thinking of me @Mumof3 x

Disappointed but I never really got excited because it didn’t feel like it was going to work out. I know that sounds ridiculous, but although they were indisputable lines I just felt they weren’t getting darker. Never felt like that with my others I just tested once and got on with it, not sure if it’s intuition or whether my previous chemical 2 years ago just made me feel this way. Anyway I have EWCM today so back on it trying later.

Thank you everyone. @hungryhungryhippo8 fingers crossed for next month.

@boho2u thank you lovely but I’m pretty sure it’s over, boobs don’t hurt, what little nausea I had has stopped. Yesterday I was holding on to a little hope as it was only when I wiped, but overnight cramps have kept me awake and it’s pretty heavy now. It’s hard to judge as my periods are only 2 days long anyway but I don’t normally cramp like this.

I'm so sorry x

boho2u · 02/05/2018 22:21

I would keep testing for a few days just to be sure. I had a completely normal period after a few faint positives with DD but she clung on in there. The positives just got stronger but the bleeding continued for about a week.

stellarfox · 02/05/2018 22:07

I'm sorry xx

delilabell · 02/05/2018 22:01

Sorry to hear that Sad
I did spot early on with my first and it turned out to be nothing, so I'd keep an eye on it and if it doesn't turn into a normal period then it could be that things are still OK. Flowers

Thank you lovelies but I’ve started spotting so I’m feeling like it’s not meant to be this time.

Try not to worry, the latest FRER looks darker! Congratulations and good luck xx

VioletteBloom · 01/05/2018 08:45

Don’t obsess over lines. I’ve had a success, a chemical pregnancy and two miscarriages and the lines varied with each. The strongest lines I got I miscarried. She had T9 and so would never have survived. Lines only matter if they turn negative!

Mumof3cheeky · 01/05/2018 03:23

That’s definitely positive! Congratulations 😀 I’m good thank you! Just counting down and the insomnia has kicked in now so I’m typically awake this time and panicing!! How am I going to be able to do this 😆
So excited for you! Have you told your dp yet? X

Mrstobe90 · 30/04/2018 23:15

They all look positive 😊

Hi @mumof3cheeky! How are you?

Thanks @blondemother and @youthrewmysandwichAWAY you’re probably right. I used opks, and had a positive cd 14 but that just means ovulation might be imminent doesn’t it? I didn’t temp, even though the thermometer was right beside my bed because I’m hopeless Blush

I took a frer this afternoon and I got a decent line, so I’m just going to cross my fingers now and hope for the best.

Faint lines at 14dpo?

How are you tracking ovulation? Could it have happened a little late this month so you are not actually as many dpo as you think?

The line has definitely gotten darker on the frer so hopefully it will keep getting darker!

Mumof3cheeky · 30/04/2018 13:03

Mind you I only ever tested on the internet cheap strips and when they weren’t getting consistently darker, I bought a clear blue but not the digital one and that was a strong line and I stopped and instead of buying more tests I booked an early scan X

Mumof3cheeky · 30/04/2018 13:00

Yay EverythingNow !! I’m so happy for you! I still can’t resist come back to conception to re live the happiest moments 🤗
I had exactly the same. Didn’t get very strong lines until about 18dpo so don’t worry! It looks like a perfect second line to me! X
