Husband and I have had various losses the last almost two years. Last year we had our baby boy prematurely and heartbreakingly died an hour after he was born. Since then we have been trying unsuccessfully- some months, I think through the grief I would make myself believe that there was a line.

I’m 8 days post ovulation today and I think I can see a vvv faint pink line that came within the ‘window’.

I don’t want to tell my husband and get his hopes up bcos I’m scared that I’ve got line eyes. I am feeling a little rough which prompted me to take the test so maybe I am pregnant?

I can see a line! I have my fingers crossed for you!

MrsHugsxx · 05/01/2021 20:08

I can't see anything sorry but at 8dpo you're testing too early, in a few days you will have a more accurate result. Good luck.

Ladderinmytights · 05/01/2021 19:56

I can see it. Sorry for your losses I know how painful it is.

AlwaysLatte · 05/01/2021 19:44

I'm pretty sure I can see it here? I really hope so for you. Fingers crossed!

funinthesun19 · 05/01/2021 19:39

I see a line in all 3 pictures!

Washingpile · 05/01/2021 19:38

I hope it’s a good result for you. Unfortunately I did a test with a faint line (was darker than this) and I early miscarried. Doc said it was because the hormone was decreasing. I had a blood test to confirm and by the time I had the “happy news” it was already not to be. This was 22 years ago now so not looking for sympathy. Just be realistic and try not to get your hopes up just yet xx

dementedma · 05/01/2021 19:29

Can't see it, but hope Im wrong for you

S111n20 · 05/01/2021 19:17

So sorry for you losses op. I can see a very very faint line on the 1st and 3rd pic.

Wait a few days and do another.

DrManhattan · 05/01/2021 19:17

I can only see one line in each pic

allthewaterinthetap · 05/01/2021 19:13

I can see that, it's just like the one I got five years ago...he's playing dinosaurs now!

Good luck. God bless.

TheNinny · 05/01/2021 19:05

I defo see a very faint line in the 1st pic xx

SlightlyJaded · 05/01/2021 18:59

@Tomcullenisahero

That is a really strong line - I would have been very confident if I'd seen that. I'm so sorry that it wasn't a pregnancy for you.

Proceed with caution OP. Evap lines are notorious and misleading. Have a look at the conception threads - loads of 'line eyes' posts on there with people posting tests at similar points in their cycles.

knowledgeablyclueless · 05/01/2021 18:54

I can see it clear as day!

BrainAyche · 05/01/2021 18:44

Sorry for your loss.
I've struggled with trying to conceive and can empathise a little with your anguish, personally I tested daily and obsessively from far too early on in my cycle as even though I had to deal with the disappointment, the hope and excitement was still nice each most months. I used mostly 'internet cheapy' strips though so they were fine to waste. I saved my FRERS for the day before my period was due.

I had the faintest of a shadow on a cheap strip test when I was pregnant from around 10dpo, maybe before. The shadow had no colour but it was different to the 'evap lines' or indents when compared to the negative tests I was used to, I even compared it with one taken with water and there was an ever so slight difference.

It matters a lot if the line/shadow came up before the time limit or not. Personally I can see a hint of a line but then I still remember how I used to scrutinise these tests so much so it might be that I want to see a line.

Another thing to mention is that sometimes second morning urine can actually show a stronger line than first, I can't remember the reasoning behind it but I remember reading about it at the time as it was the case for me and others that I spoke to on a TTC forum.

Just things to consider if, like me, you can't resist testing again, though I'd have to agree it makes more sense to wait until your period is due.

Good luck!

DressingGownofDoom · 05/01/2021 18:29

I've had disappointment from FRER lines before too but I really hope this is it for you OP Thanks

Northernmummy80 · 05/01/2021 18:18

I feel like I can see a line....or I desperately want there to be a line for you 🤞🤞🤞

Tomcullenisahero · 05/01/2021 17:58

I'm so sorry for all you've been through and I wish you so much luck. I have had a terrible time with FRER and have had several lines but I wasn't pregnant, just terrible indents I think. I really wish you all the best but I don't want you to be so disappointed as I was. This picture is one if the many lines which wasn't a pregnancy.
I truly hope you are pregnant though

Can you see it too?
wobblywinelover · 05/01/2021 17:42

I can't see anything OP sorry. Why not test when your period is due and wait a few days. I appreciate you must be desperate to know but be a bit more patient and you'll get a more definitive result. I had a faint line the day my period was due about 14 dpo. By testing so early and getting different responses on here you're potentially working yourself into a frenzy for nothing. However I wish you the best of luck for the next few days

Greenbks · 05/01/2021 17:36

Thanks guys, I’m really feeling the love from you all and have at times today just burst into tears from your messages. I’m sorry to all the women who struggled, and didn’t get their outcome. If this baby does by some miracle stick then I am at risk of another premature birth so we won’t be getting too excited.

I won’t take the digital yet but have ordered one so it’s ready to go on Sunday when I’m due on. Haven’t told my husband and I won’t until I know for sure but it’s difficult when he is around! We’ve both been trying for 10 months since our son and I really don’t want to get his/my hopes up just yet.

Hopefully next time I post it’ll be good (sticky) news 🤞🏽

londonmummy1234 · 05/01/2021 16:03

I can see a line in two of them. I hope this is it for you. I have everything crossed. Don't do a digital one... this early you'll get a negative. Try and put it out your mind (easier said than done!) and test a day after missed period.

caringcarer · 05/01/2021 15:58

I just can't be see a line. Wait a week then try s digital one. I hope you are pregnant.

MissBaskinIfYoureNasty · 05/01/2021 15:58

I feel like I can see a line but not sure if its just because I really want to see one! Fingers crossed for you!
