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

God they are so faint so I’m not getting my hopes up. I bet you can’t even see them xx

Ok lovely deep breaths and relax. They don’t sound like evap lines but I completely understand your anxiety. When I was expecting my second I took a test 3 times a week until my 12 week scan...cost a fortune! Are you on a phone or laptop/desktop? At the bottom of the screen you should see a paperclip symbol, if you click on that you can attach a photo. I actually found Superdrug/Asda/cheap boots tests more reliable than first response. You still have 2 days before you miss a period so lines will be faint Flowers

If I am I wonder if I ovulated later than I thought

I held my wee in all day and took the other Asda one and I see another faint line. I’m scared to get excited in case I just see what I want to. I mean they are soooo faint. Il work out how to post them. It would be the first time ever to have a bfp. I mean I thought I’ve had them before but they just turned out to be evaps. I feel sick! I bet it’s not a real bfp and it’s just dodgy tests or more evaps. Just my luck xx

But you have got a clear positive! You’ve got two positive tests no matter how faint the line. Would this be your first bfp? After 7 years of ttc I’m sure you know everything there is to know about getting a bfp! But I’ve always been told (and it’s always been true in my experiences) you can have a false negative but not a false positive. Would you like to post a photo of your tests? Not saying I know anymore than you do but might help to talk about your actual tests, a problem shared and all that! Everything crossed for you op Flowers

I’m due in 2 days. I just thought if I did have IB then I would have had a clear positive by now! xx

Ah op I get it. I’ve been really lucky to fall pregnant easily but I do remember the torture of the two week wait and the agonising over faint lines. When are you actually due on? X

Really? Well that is promising. I had a couple more left so might try and hold off as I’m scared of getting a bfn. It’s like torture!

Yes that’s what I thought. I thought I had implantation bleeding at 9dpo as I had pink watery stuff when I wiped once and have had no other symptoms, apart from increased cm. Never mind.

I would test again ASAP. I’m pretty sure from your description you’re pregnant, lines do fade but wouldn’t appear in the first place without you being pregnant. I have four children but have been pregnant six times and my tests before my period was actually due were all very faint positives that faded after an hour or so.

If you are sure of your ovulation date a FRER should definitely have picked up something by now and be a clear BFP. I've found the times where a faint line faded then it wasn't a successful month sorry OP x
