Does anyone else look for faint lines compulsively?

That sounded rude! It wasn't! Thank you for replying

@BPT2019 in addition to all the BFN FRERs I've done all week ?
I need to get a grip of myself!

I have stared at this so much. I'm almost 100% sure it's BFN but I didn't want to deny you all a line eyes

@BPT2019 how did you get on?
I'm having a confusing time, I've been getting faint lines on numerous frers, boots own brand and a chemist own brand for the last two weeks. I did another frer today hoping for either a strong line or nothing but I got another faint line! Aarrgghh I'm going mad.
I had thought last weekend it was a chemical so expected bleeding and a negative on the test today. So confused!

[quote Herbys]@BPT2019 do you have any ICs? I would use those if you do, otherwise maybe go for Sunday? I have my fingers crossed for you!

Do you track AF on any apps? (I used to use one, now I use 3 - maybe obsessing 😅)[/quote]
Hello, how you doing today? Hope AF has stayed away!

I've resisted testing today but doing an IC tomorrow morning but expecting a BFN.

[quote Herbys]@BPT2019 there is still plenty of time for that to change, so 🤞! When is af due?

Still BFN this morning and I am feeling very 'womby' so I think af is on her way today or tomorrow - on time as per the Flo app but late on clue and fertility friend. I just can't accept I'm out until she's here![/quote]
Really hope AF doesn't arrive for you, keeping those fingers crossed.

My periods are really irregular so it's hard to say, I am confused after having the two tests in the photos and then this morning I think it was a negative. I drank so much through the night from the heat so I think that could've affected it but I would've thought there would've been a faint line if I am pregnant 🤔

Do I test again tomorrow or leave it a few days? Will power permitting that is lol.

[quote Herbys]@BPT2019 😂 Far easier said than done - I think I must be going to the loo hourly at this point!!

Testing every morning whilst I wait for AF, nothing yet at 13dpo so I can't say I am the most hopeful!

How about you?[/quote]
Fingers crossed for you 🤞

I've done another test today and I think if I squint like mad there is a faint line but that's not a good sign so I think I am out. Guessing the other two tests have evaps....

How have you got on? 🤞

How about you?

How often are you testing or are you mid cycle?

I am worried I would become a FRER addict and it would cost me a fortune 😬

I am using ICs but obviously they're 25miu and a bit of me just hopes I am a bit slow on the hormone levels and it will suddenly appear one morning!

Sorry if TMI but does anyone struggle to hold for 4 hours to get a strong FMU reading? I drink so much at the minute I think I wee about every 3 hours - even getting up in the night! Not sure if it could lead to squinters all the time?

[quote Herbys]@BPT2019 I can see what you are looking at! Did it come up within the time?

🤞 but I would retest in a few days! (or obsessively every day until it gets stronger or AF!)[/quote]
Thanks for your reply, at least I know I'm not seeing things. Yeah both within the time but really hard to make out if it has colour. I'm trying to hold off testing for a few days now and see what I get then but it's hard!

I can see it too I'd totally be down the chemist like a bullet out a gun buying all the FRERs

yeah like maybe wait and retest in a few days

@BPT2019 I can see what you are looking at! Did it come up within the time?

Lol you can both look at mine if you like? Top test is a different one to the bottom, one set with a filter the other is without. I'm thinking evaps?

@Icouldstillbejoseph Same! I love a line eyes thread 😂

Oh and it's not just my own tests that I'm obsessed with - I like looking at other people's too. I need to get a life

It's hard not to do isn't it? I've decided I hate tests, I've just posted two tests for people to give me their opinions on as I have no idea if they are just evaps, indents or actual lines.

@florababy84 Yes all the time!!

Been testing since about 8DPO (way to early, I know, I was curious), I am now 13DPO and still seeing BFNs, but I take photos and squint and invert the colours to see if there is anything at all!

My apps are now confusing me as AF is either due today or Saturday depending which one you look at, so not sure if still hope or not!
(I know you're not out until you are out, but you hear of so many people getting BFPs before now I feel like maybe it won't happen this month!)

Exact same here - the ridiculous thing is, when I did have a BFP (it didn't last) you don't need to squint but the hope does mad things to me....
I dread to think how much I've spent/am spending on tests.....

@Littlebee1990 that’s not in your imagination that is a line.
