Is this a line or do I have line eyes?!

Morning everyone! I’m driving myself mad this morning as I swear I can see a line on a IC I’ve just done.
I do this most months so don’t want to get my hopes up. We are TTC #1 .
I’m currently 10 DPO and think I’m gonna do a FRER tomorrow.

I had the most vivid dream last night that the line on a IC was negative and that I then did a FRER and got a positive so if this is a good sign that’s super weird! X

@togetherismyfavouriteplace My IC looked very similar this morning, but my FRER line was as dark as the control line! I was so pleased!

Togetherismyfavouriteplace · 27/01/2020 13:21

@bluemoon2468 thought I’d update you on today’s IC vs. FRER ! Very poor but at least there’s a slight line today lol! X

@Emmyc123 sadly it's a waiting game! Can be better not testing and agonising over it I think! Have you done any more?

Hello everyone sorry to Jump on and congratulations to everyone who had their BFPS!!! Can someone help me I'm put of my mind crazy I'm around 9/10 dpo not quite sure which one and done tests since 4dpo ridiculous I know which were clearly bfn but 2 days ago I was out with friends and had a pulled muscle feeling below my belly button and a sharp stabbing g pain much lower down the day before but it lasted 10 seconds and didn't come back. Very irritable and moody for me snapping when I shouldn't be, and last night for the first time shooting stabbing pains across my boobs when laid I bed never had it before. Had a dream I did a bfp test so woke up and did boots test strip ones which I've used before and got bfn but this one has a line even though its faint !! And the other 2 have even fainter lines but I know they are there, got Hope's up did a clear blue digital and it said not pregnant which may be too soon and then just now so later on in the day after 4 weeks today did a first response and that's a bfn :( I'm so confused with the other faint lines and I've done these tests before and it was bfn with no line what so ever! Can anyone maybe shes SOme light for me? Thanks in advance! Emma xx

Haha hi everyone! So I've been poorly still so did another ic today. And I think it's a BFN. OPK still pos I think. (I did both) and I had sharp one sided pain last night. So thinking is was a dodgy pg test and maybe another ov? Gahd. It's such a nightmare ttc! Thanks to everyone who replied. I'll keep an eye and update in the next few days! Xx

paintfairy · 26/01/2020 09:44

@bluemoon2468 it won't always let me tag people I have before. Stupid thing!

But that's interesting! And @Togetherismyfavouriteplace has the same thing! Maybe people that are despairing with the ICs then should definitely try an frer to be sure. I've now got 2 - delivered yesterday. But I've not opened the parcel. Lol. Too early for me yet.

So @Alice8688 needs to update us in the mean time. Grin

What a joke 😄

Togetherismyfavouriteplace · 26/01/2020 06:53

@bluemoon2468 I’ve got positive on clear blue digital too! And the IC is still only coming up with a barley visible shadow that can only be seen when moving the test around like you say!

@Alice8688 I’d 100% get a FRER to double check if you are unsure. Those IC’s are so crap, I still can’t see a line on mine even those a clear blue digital is telling me I’m pregnant! Keep us posted! Xx

Sorry that should have been tagging @paintfairy

bluemoon2468 · 26/01/2020 06:01

An update from me - I've just had a positive on a CB digital and a dark line on a FRER, and an absolute squinter of a line on an IC. I've lost all faith in them tbh, I'll probably be in labour before they show a strong line 😆

@Alice8688 I took a cheap test on Wednesday evening and it looked paler then yours. I took another first thing Thursday and it was the same as yours so I went to Asda, bought two of their own brands plus a clear blue digital and they came back strong positive (2-3 weeks on digital)

Good luck! X

Alice8688 · 25/01/2020 15:49

I hope it's ok if I hop on ladies. I'm having a bit of a mare!

I have been waiting for a positive OPK all month. I was due (by apps) to ov on 14-16th. Nada. Then I missed a few days of opks tues-thurs because I was poorly (and honestly just chalked the month up to a non-ovulation month!) but had sharp ov pains last weds. Today I accidentally did a pg test (ic- got mixed in with opks) and got the following result. (I did an OPK with the same sample once I'd realised what I done 🙄 added photo it for reference. Darkest OPK I've ever had). Could this just be a dye run? Or could I have ovd really early and this be the start of a bfp?

My cycles have been screwed since a mc in sept/Oct. 😔 sorry for the long post! I can just see you use the same tests! Thank you xxx

That would be interesting actually! And maybe helpful to others.
Congratulations though! Grin

bluemoon2468 · 25/01/2020 15:28

@paintfairy there is, but it's so, so faint. Like you have to move the test around and look at it at different angles to see it. Was convinced it was an indent. I was soooo shocked when I took the FRER 😆 those ICs are absolute crap... I'm going to keep taking them just to see when I get a positive.

MrsA2015 · 25/01/2020 15:27

Congratulations!

paintfairy · 25/01/2020 15:25

@bluemoon2468 is there even a line on your one step? Hmm Can't believe how much difference there is! I've just had some frer delivered. Was unsure if with the money but you've just convinced me they were!

Togetherismyfavouriteplace · 25/01/2020 08:20

Thank you all so much for the lovely messages. I’m honestly in shock and can’t stop crying! Ive felt completely off this month but didn’t want to get my hopes up as I’ve done that so much in the past! Good luck to everyone that is still in the TWW or out for this month. Your time will come.
I really thought I’d struggle to have a baby due to having endometriosis so seeing that positive line this morning is honestly the best feeling in the world xx

Huge congratulations OP - it was this time 4 years ago that I had my BFP with my now 3 year old DS! He was due start of October but came 2 weeks early.

urbansloth · 25/01/2020 07:26

Massive congratulations!!!!

bluemoon2468 · 25/01/2020 07:08

@esmerelda1988 I'm also not due AF until the middle of next week. Just have to be positive and hopeful I guess 😊

esmerelda1988 · 25/01/2020 07:02

Thanks @bluemoon2468 Grin

1-2 weeks on a clear blue this morning but my period isn't even due til Monday so a bit worried it'll be a CP

emmy4 · 25/01/2020 06:59

Congratulations 😁

Literaryseed · 25/01/2020 06:50

Congratulations OP!

bluemoon2468 · 25/01/2020 06:50

I should say for us all! Sorry @esmerelda1988*!
