Faint line after the test time

Took a test this afternoon 9DPO - can anyone see the second line? It is pink in colour but it didn't really appear until around the 5 minute mark (it's a FRER and it says to read it at 3 minutes) we've been trying for 2 years and this is our second round of clomid. I have never seen any second line at all before. Please help!

@laurenN congratulations! X

TriangleBingoBongo · 26/01/2020 17:48

Congratulations!! I see it.

muddypuddles12 · 26/01/2020 17:44

Yes potentially too early for CB. They're not early detection ones so presumably only likely to show BFP after you've (hopefully!!!!) missed AF.
Keeping all fingers and toes crossed for you ❤️

@muddypuddles12 I really really hope you're right. I did a CB digital with the same pee but it said not pregnant- tbh though I didn't expect it to as it's so early. Will do another digital in a couple of days too. This whole thing is so so confusing

That's positive without a doubt - you're pregnant, congrats mama ❤️

What a head f**k! Was there plenty of urine on the BFN test? Strange (but great!) that you would get a BFP a few hours later.

Hope tomorrow's test are good and dark for you. It's such a rollercoaster!

Neednewwellies · 26/01/2020 16:43

I see a line on both your tests. Good luck

wannabemummy123 · 26/01/2020 16:37

lostfrequencies · 26/01/2020 16:35

@RedPandaFluff haha yes I'm a POAS addict now 🤭 this one appeared in time and is ever so slightly darker than yesterday afternoons. Will do another tomorrow afternoon and pray it's still there and darker 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

2 false positives is very very very unlikely! I don't see any indication of chemical, if so, it would be positive followed by negatives, not positive / negative / positive.
I would try to get a digital and test as soon as you think it may pick it up.

RedPandaFluff · 26/01/2020 16:07

Oooooo! Exciting! Are you planning to test each day? Please update us!

KADAQ1 · 26/01/2020 16:01

I see it. Looks positive to me congratulations

I've just done another test, only drank 1 cup of tea and waited 5 hours. This one came up just after 2 mins! Not sure if either last night I had too many fluids and therefore the test couldn't pick it up this morning or if a chemical is looming. What do you all think?

I'm due on Wednesday/Thursday and I'm 10DPO today.

Wish I had never tested so early now 😞complete head f**k

Thanks so much to you all for your support

@LaurenN23 - yes, a faint positive went darker over the next couple of tests and we were so happy, then it started to fade away as I kept testing over the following days and by 14dpo it was a stark negative. This was after our second IVF cycle so it was really heartbreaking to feel so much joy followed by so much pain and disappointment.

There are positives to take from it, though - it shows that you CAN get pregnant. You released an egg and your partner's sperm fertilised it and it implanted.

You mentioned you'd been trying for two years - have you had any fertility investigations? There are so many minor issues that can be easily remedied - baby aspirin for clotting issues, mild steroids for immune responses, anticoags etc.

muddypuddles12 · 26/01/2020 11:48

Sorry I mean clear blue! That's what we used in the end because I just wanted it in front of my eyes - yes or no.

muddypuddles12 · 26/01/2020 11:46

Oh darling, it's not over until the fat lady sings (or Aunt Flo as we like to call her). Your turn will come!
Is it too early for one of those first response tests that literally says - pregnant / not pregnant? I know they're expensive and obviously can't be used all the time but just to put your mind at rest? Thanks

wannabemummy123 · 26/01/2020 11:28

Babe maybe give it a day or two and do another. You're not out until AF arrives ... when are you due? Xx

@RedPandaFluff did the same thing happen to you with the tests? BFP to BFN?

OP posts:
RedPandaFluff · 26/01/2020 10:25

Ahhh @LaurenN23 I'm so sorry to read your update . . . I had a couple of chemicals and it's really upsetting. Hang in there Thanks

@Trying2b just slightly sore boobs but nothing else :/ don't feel hopeful now - just cried all morning.

@blackcat86 yes I will do - will probably wait for AF now if I can wait. Feel so so sad

OP posts:
blackcat86 · 26/01/2020 09:52

Sorry to hear that. Could you wait a few days and get a digital test? I couldn't cope with the lack of clarity on the others. I needed it in black and white.

Trying2b · 26/01/2020 09:24

Yeah I would have thought so! It's strange to be negative today. Maybe yesterday's test was an evap line, although I don't think so in that time frame. Who knows, it's a complete roller-coaster isn't it! You're still early, it could still happen for you. Are you feeling any other symptoms? I had very sore boobs, was occasionally dizzy and had a low heavy feeling in my womb. I've been pregnant before so I knew the signs. Fingers crossed for you xx
