13dpo- is this a line??

Hi all,
Driving myself crazy here. Used a frer yesterday at 12dpo and again this morning at 13dpo. Can anyone else see a line or is it just wishful thinking?

Hey guys,
Am I clutching at lines here? This is 13 dpo. I called myself out yesterday morning with all tests up until today stark negative. However, this mornings test (after a glass of wine last night 👀) I thought I will just test because I've got spare ones but now I'm heavily confused. Shouldn't the line be much darker at 13 dpo...did anyone else's look like this at 13 dpo. I feel bad for having wine last night now but also I dont know if this is the real thing...

Hi everyone! I have been trying to convince for 4 years now and have had 2 miscarriages.
I've just had IVF FET transfer and today is day 13.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal or too faint? I don't feel happy as I have no symptoms apart from moodiness (which may be who I am lol).
Thank you and honestly any interaction would be helpful, feeling very isolated.

Dear OP, did you go on to have a healthy pregnancy? I hope so. I’m in exactly the same situation right now, hence the question... Thank you.

Congrats OP ❤️

Update: this was the result on a CB digital this evening... am going to step away from the tests now. Thanks everyone for all your reassuring words.

Thanks all. Tentatively excited now!

That’s definitely a positive, congratulations!

I don’t ovulate until cycle day 17+ so you could ovulate late and not know. That’s a good positive for before AF being due.

KatnissMellark · 21/05/2020 13:19

That's definitely a positive, congrats!

peperethecat · 21/05/2020 13:11

If you're not tracking ovulation you don't actually know how many DPO you are, so I wouldn't worry about that. The line is definitely getting darker which is a good sign!

raspberryjamlove · 21/05/2020 12:43

I would say you are pregnant - congratulations 🥳

Think the line is definitely darker than yesterday’s...

So, AF due today but no sign as of yet. Did another FRER just now and this was the result....do I take this as a positive? Should the line be darker at this stage??

How long have you been TTC? Have you recently come off hormonal contraception? If you've recently come off the pill or similar than your cycles may still be regulating. And even if you have an extremely regular cycle, if you're not tesing for ovulation you don't know whether you're ovulating on CD14 and have a 14 day luteal phase, or ovulating on CD18 and have a 10 day luteal phase, or what have you. For now I would just assume that you ovulated a few days later than you thought and that's why you've only got a faint line. Test again in a few days and see if the line is darker.

@peperethecat. Thanks for your insight. I am only guessing 13dpo, using a calculator based on my lmp. In reality i have no clue when ovulation occured as only 2nd month trying and not been tracking. Guess I’m not out til AF makes an appearance..

Sorry, I know it's not what people want to hear but it does appear to be true in my experience.

incywincyspiders · 20/05/2020 13:25

Glad you didn't reply that to my thread.

peperethecat · 20/05/2020 13:21

I think the 12 DPO thing is largely a myth. In reality anything that implants 11 DPO or later is likely to miscarry, unfortunately.

Most people with ongoing viable pregnancies who reckon they didn't get a positive test until their period was late are wrong about when they ovulated.

incywincyspiders · 20/05/2020 13:14

You can implant up to anything up to 12dpo so some people wouldn't get a BFP at 13dpo anyway!

peperethecat · 20/05/2020 12:33

OK, it looks like a very early positive but it should be much darker than that if you are genuinely 13 DPO. For now I would tentatively assume that you ovulated a few days later than you think you did.

@peperethecat to be honest I haven’t really been tracking ovulation...AF has only really come back regularly after years of being on mini pill in last couple of months or so.

@raspberryjamlove I’m tentatively excited but nervous in case AF comes in next couple of days...

raspberryjamlove · 20/05/2020 12:26

I would personally be very excited if I had a test that looked like that :) xx

peperethecat · 20/05/2020 12:24

How are you tracking your ovulation?

Thanks all. Good to hear all views. I’ll remain hopeful and be sure to update in a couple of days.

I never did get a positive on frer until a few days late although I got clear positives on clear blue and clear blue digital 13dpo. Strange I know but looks positive to me and going from
My pick below that were all taken on 13dpo in same sample show that frer can’t always be reliable. All where all different batches that I sent Dh out to get more off so I could make sure lol

KatnissMellark · 20/05/2020 11:08

When I've tested at 13dpo and it's been positive it's always been stronger, HOWEVER I've only ever got a bfp after IVF so dates are absolutely certain. You could have ovulated/implanted later. Definitely wait to miss your period then test again. Good luck!
