Faint bfp or frer indent?

11dpo. Not fmu.

Came up within time frame. Vvv faint line. Am aware of the notorious indents frer can give so very reluctant to think anything of it yet.

One pic unedited, other has contrast up slightly.

Thoughts?

@AnxiousAnnie86 sometimes you can from 6 weeks but it isnt guaranteed. You generally can from 7 weeks though. So the nearer to 7 weeks the better!
I'm going to do a 10 week scan too so my husband can come to that. If I get that far my 12 week wouldn't be until Jan! 8+5 is amazing!!! Gosh well done! Xx

AnxiousAnnie86 · 12/11/2020 11:13

@AMS19 when can they pick up a heartbreat? I've never had an early scan before.... my nhs one I think will be first week Dec, as they are classing me as 8+5 already x

AMS19 · 12/11/2020 11:06

@AnxiousAnnie86 6 weeks 2 days. It will either be the Friday or the Monday. I might wait to 6 weeks 5 days if I can as there is more chance of a heartbeat then ❤ I'll have to see how I go!

AnxiousAnnie86 · 12/11/2020 11:04

@AMS19 awww that'll be good to do on the same day! How far will you be then? Xx

AMS19 · 12/11/2020 11:00

@AnxiousAnnie86 2 weeks tomorrow is when I plan to do a viability scan!!! God let's pray for another Nosecco Friday xxx

AnxiousAnnie86 · 12/11/2020 10:57

@AMS19 I think your right, I think I'm going to try stop testing, hahahahahah

Looking forward to nosecco tomorrow ladies! Two weeks tomorrow till scan, which will put me at nearly nine weeks, so hoping they won't have to do an internal! They make me sick every single time!!

AMS19 · 12/11/2020 10:51

@moominmiss honestly I'm absolutely buzzing for you!! So so happy. Habe you told your partner? I feel like our Nosecco Friday is looking more and more likely!

@anxiousannie86 yeah I reckon you've maxed out now! But you have a beautiful strong line so id be happy staying with that!

@TryingToNotTry I fell in my first month! 11DPO on a FRER is possible, but if you get a BFN you also won't necessarily be out either! So depends if you want something more conclusive?!

Katievb · 12/11/2020 10:32

@Moominmiss Yes serial testing. I used a FRER yesterday. And have 1 for tomorrow and then a digital for Saturday. I have also been using ic every day but they arnt getting darker and then weirdly just vanish after I get a faint line? Did anyone else have this? Nervous for tomorrow x

AnxiousAnnie86 · 12/11/2020 09:55

@Moominmiss eeee it's so nerve wracking isn't it! I couldn't look on digital I handed it to my husband to wait!! I was so nervous waiting for progression on weeks one, I think I gave it about ten days till I did the next one! At what point do we unite and stop testing?! 🤪

@AnxiousAnnie86 I had a feeling your lines were as dark as they could get. I think you should take your reassurance from that though, they aren’t getting any lighter and you’re still having symptoms!!

Book yourself a scan and try to just enjoy the fact that in less than 8 months you’re going to have a baby!!!

Thank you @mumof23188 ☺️ And I think we could be on this journey together if your tests are anything to go by!!!!!!

@TryingToNotTry I got my first faint bfp at 10dpo but really was a squinter, 11dpo was when others could see it too. That was either 2 or 4 days before af for me. My apps all tell me af was due today so 🤷🏼‍♀️
I’d say it depends how disheartened you’d be seeing a possible bfn (even if you are pregnant).

But good luck for when you do decide to test!!

@AlexisIsMySpiritAnimal and @emelsie thank you both ❤️

@AMS19 what a fabulous frer line!! Dye stealer right there!! I’m saving my last frer for tomorrow as I want to see (hopefully) definite progression from yesterday’s.

And like you said just goes to show that the cheapies are rubbish! I didn’t even bother doing a cheapie as I knew it’d just make me panic! I was so super nervous waiting for the digital to show. I’d convinced myself it’d be a not pregnant result.

@TryingToNotTry thank you so much. It’s definitely helped to ease my worries for now. I did manage to get a pregnant 1-2 with my last chemical so I won’t feel more at ease unless I see it progress on to 2-3 but this is a step in the right direction from the not pregnant result I got 2 days ago!

@AnxiousAnnie86 it was you that made me think about doing the digital today! So I’m glad I listened! It was the reassurance I needed today so thank you!!!

@Katievb how exciting!!! Congratulations, are you a serial tester like the rest of us? Good luck with testing tomorrow! What tests are you using?

@Moominmiss yay!!!! Massive congratulations lovely 💕💕

AnxiousAnnie86 · 12/11/2020 09:30

@TryingToNotTry I never tested before AF as after 15 months I found the negative tests harder to bare than Af coming, xxx

AnxiousAnnie86 · 12/11/2020 09:28

@AMS19 @Moominmiss my tests came!!!! It's same as it has been for past week, think it's not going to go darker and I need to call it quits, I'm just struggling to let go of this bit of reassurance x

Congratulations Thanks

Congratulations ThanksDaffodilCake

TryingToNotTry · 12/11/2020 08:32

Wow, so much good news!

@Katievb congratulations to you as well!

@AMS19 I noticed that our posts just missed each other so now I see, so thrilled for you! This is my first cycle so I am excited and nervous all in one Smile

@AnxiousAnnie86 I am going to try to wait it out, let's see if I make it Wink

What is the absolute earliest you all recommend testing? 11dpo (4 days before my AF) or later?

AnxiousAnnie86 · 12/11/2020 08:20

@Katievb congratulations!!!!! It's nerve wracking isn't it! You wait for that bfp then as soon as you see it start panicking!!!

@TryingToNotTry hey! Will you test early or wait it out? Xx

Katievb · 12/11/2020 08:18

Congratulations!!! Been watching this thread, so happy for you all. I got a faint bfp yesterday at 13dpo. Waiting till tomorrow to test again then will do a digital on Saturday. X

AMS19 · 12/11/2020 07:30

AnxiousAnnie86 · 12/11/2020 07:17

Omg @Moominmiss arrgghhh!! I knew it!! Absolutely brilliant news ❤❤❤❤❤

AMS19 · 12/11/2020 07:11

Morning @Moominmiss @AnxiousAnnie86

So I did my IC and it was very light, so caved and did my FRER a day early...
Whoops. But that should lovely progression. The test line was already blaring positive before it even reached the control line!

So @Mooninmiss this absolutely shows not to worry about the ICs as their lines are so much lighter!! I can use them for progression now but would have definitely worried how light it was for 17DPO had I not done a FRER!
