Bfp line faded after a few hours

Hi ladies, I took an FRER and Asda own brand this morning (think I’m 13dpo). I dipped them both in fmu although it was quite diluted as I had been thirsty through the night. The Asda one came up with a line straight away, albeit a very faint one. The FRER took about a minute and was lighter than the Asda one but was still a pink line. I went back to bed and when I got up a few hours later and the FRER line had faded to basically nothing. The Asda one is still visible but the FRER one is barely there. What are my chances? Im going to try and hold off a couple of days and retest but it is killing me inside! This is our 7th year ttc x

I've learnt not to test early as I've had two chemicals both detected only on frers Hun, if the line doesn't process I would hope for the best but prepare for the worst, my lines finally got a bit darker both times and then I came on, it wasn't faulty tests and blood test showed my number was at 17 so some sort of pregnancy was trying to take place xx

Thank you. Haven’t tested yet. Waiting until Saturday morning. No real symptoms though so I think all my tests have been dodgy. I’ve taken 6 all with extremely extremely faint lines that came up straight away but I’ve read so many forums this week about this happening and them just being indents but mine all had colour, not sure if an indent has colour. The frer I took last I thought I saw something but don’t know if I just wanted to see it. The next day when it had dried there was a faint pink line but I know that it could have been an evap. If no line on Saturday then I know I’m not because I should have a prominent line at that point xxx

@summ3r2 I'm having my fingers crossed for you! I can only imagine the emotional rollercoaster you are on

It was due today. I took an opk and my lines are still really dark, not positive though but not far off and that never happens. They always go back to practically nothing. I will definitely wait a few more days before testing again. It’s too much heartache. Total rollercoaster xxx

Well you have some positive hope then, if you are due AF soon then you can always wait to see if it arrives!

Well I took an Asda test and a frer just now and a pink faint line came up again on the Asda but nothing at all on the frer. I thought I saw a glimmer but I think I have line eyes. I don’t know what to think now! The Asda one is still faint but definitely pink xx

Hey all, it's worth remembering that first response test results are only readable between 3 and 10 mins. After that time frame the result can alter. So when you went to bed for a few hours and checked the test again, it is technically no longer applicable. Having said that I know myself that I have kept tests so I can keep looking at them, but I already know the result by then.

Princessfaffalot · 17/02/2020 16:42

I’d say give it another 24 hours then test op. I’m here if you want to talk xx

Yes very true. I’m tempted to take another one tonight but no I will be disheartened if it’s another faint line xx

Princessfaffalot · 17/02/2020 14:53

You haven’t come on so that’s a really positive sign Flowers

Thanks I love the positive stories. The lines are still there but went lighter when they dried. The frer is proper pink but I was reading forums where others have said that their evaps on frer were pink xxx

I haven’t been well last night and today on and off. Been going really hot and then sick. I have diarrhoea as well so probably just a bug. Not testing until tomorrow now. I’m scared it’s a negative xx

With my second DC I tested early as it was NYE so wanted to know if I could drink. I had a positive test that then faded within an hour. Took another, same thing happened. He's 7 now so I wouldn't lose hope just because the line is fading.

Princessfaffalot · 17/02/2020 11:16

How are you this morning op? CakeFlowers

mrsc1987 · 16/02/2020 20:38

I see something on your tests! Deffo would do another with fmu eek good luck to you

queenqueenqueen · 16/02/2020 20:31

Sorry can't see any lines and think with those dates you should def see more than that at this stage. Really sorry x

Aww congratulations, how lovely. I did get darker lines with the Asda early response. Will get some more and do them over the week xx

Hi OP, I got a super faint positive on a FRER that faded to nothing and with same urine got a good positive on a Boots early response. Two days later the line on another FRER was still pretty weak but Boots early response much stronger and a Clearblue digital said 1-2 weeks. Clearblue digital went up by one week like clockwork to 3+ weeks so hopefully all is going in right direction. I’m now 8 weeks and fingers crossed all going well. I found the FRER a bit disappointing and will just be using the Boots ER in future.

Thanks for looking guys. There are defo line but so very faint. Hubby came in from work so was showing them and he could see them and he usually says he can’t see anything. Anyway they may just be flukes or something. Il retest in a few days and keep you posted xxx

Princessfaffalot · 16/02/2020 18:56

I’m so sorry but I can’t actually see a line at all, my tests were very very faint but there was a line. I’m so sorry. Test again in a couple of days if you don’t come on xx

Michette · 16/02/2020 18:47

I can’t really see anything OP...
Also a FRER should pick it up at 13dpo?
Or are you unsure about dates ?

I would wait at least two days to retest so you can get a reliable answer...

Good luck x

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 16/02/2020 18:34

I can see something on those tests. Try not to drink too much and do another test with FMU.

🤞this is your month!
