Anyone experienced faint lines every month but not pg?

Every month for 3 months now I have gotten faint lines on IC tests from about 6dpo til after AF arrives. I'm wondering if its the tests? I haven't gotten anything on frer or any other tests.

This can happen when you're hypothyroid. Once your TSH is 2.5 or lower you can support implantation. Different threshold for everyone though, this may not be relevant to you!

@eloiseislost Now that would be the sensible thing to do wouldn't it!

I'm more super curious to why its happening. I get a lot of PG symptoms too, and then the inevitable AF comes eventually.

This certainly sounds odd @walkingout101 Confused Perhaps you could buy a few packs of FRER (they are often on offer on Amazon) and only test on the day of your missed period? Of course, that's hard to do, I know for a fact, as I'm known to obsessively POAS during the 2WW… Grin

@eloiseislost Thats my thinking too. No - all different batches and packs and the lines only show after ovulation and until AF, otherwise the tests are blank.

I would trust a FRER more than an IC. Are all the tests you are using from the same pack? It might just be a bad batch.
