Faint line or evap or nothing? 11DPO

dreamerkr · 26/03/2021 16:38

Hey guys, so I swore to myself that this month I wouldn’t be crazy like this but it clearly didn’t work. I deleted Clue and Flo off my phone because they were a headache. TTC is so stressful. I’ve been trying for over a year, around a year and a half I guess. I’ve had a mc and two chemicals. This month we weren’t trying, but I tested this morning on 11DPO and I swear I can see the faintest, faintest line. I took two FRERs and got the same faintest line. Can you guys see anything or am I going crazy again?

Yes I was defo clear of all tissue. The dr was very confident that there was nothing there and that the lining had built back up nicely.

@Gaga87 you were clear of any tissue in the scan, so I really don’t think this positive is due to hormones from the miscarriage. I definitely think it’s a BFP, and I’m so happy for you! Recurrent mc sucks so much.. I know the feeling. I’ve had 1 mc at 6 weeks and 3 chemicals... :(

I was 7 weeks but it was an empty sac so passed really quick with no pain! Went for check up to make sure I was clear of any tissue which I was. No I didn’t test after miscarriage.
I don’t want an early scan as my last pregnancy being an empty sac created more worry with the scans than I can handle. 3 recurrent Mc and 1 dd, then empty sac just over 4 weeks aho

@Gaga87 how far along we’re you when you had the miscarriage, and didn’t you test after the bleeding had stopped to see if you were still getting a positive? I don’t think the positive would be that strong if it was from old hormones, especially as it’s been 33 days. You should really make an appointment with your GP though, and how come you don’t want an early scan? Fingers crossed for you! x

Problem is I miscarried (empty sac) excatly 33 days ago today. Went to app to make sure all was good in terms of emptying my womb after natural miscarriage but worried it could be old hormones. Can they last 4/5 weeks since natural empty sac Mc? Any advice! I refuse to have early scan!

Another test- defo positive!

@Veronika13 you’re so right, haha! My period is due today, I’m not testing today at all let’s see. I had really bad cramps last night though, it felt like AF was gonna start right away.. really really bad cramps. They’re a bit less today. Idk what’s going on.

@Gaga87 I can definitely see a line, that’s a good line you have there! Try using a FRER, but I’d definitely say that’s a positive. Congrats! x

I don't know why but wanting to test too early reminds me of the days when we would tell our gfs or ourselves not to check recent ex's social media 🤣 it just makes you feel shit afterwards! That no good can come out of it. With testing I think it's the same - wait when it's time to test, otherwise it makes me anxious afterwards and stressed.
Even if it's a faint line - it's agonising whether you see it or not, anxious to check the next day if it disappears etc

@ottie27 thank you, fingers crossed for you! I got faint lines on FRER, Answer and also an IC, but they’re super faint. Probably another chemical... :( or I ovulated later than I thought. I have no idea right now, but I’m not thinking about it until tomorrow or the day after. I’m not testing early either next month... it’s too much stress.

@Veronika13 I don’t know what’s going on, honestly... I’m not gonna test again though, I’ll only test when and if my period is late.

@firsttimemummy321 again, I can see the lines on all of your test! They’re not evaps if they’re on three different brands. The FRER looks a little darker to me?

ottie27 · 28/03/2021 12:34

I’m afraid I don’t have much advice OP, but just wanted to say I’m in the same boat at the moment so I know how it feels. AF due today(ish - not 100% sure) and only had faint lines. I’m assuming this either means it’s a chemical or I’ve just been really unlucky and got loads of evaps. Just want to know now either way - the uncertainty and anticipating the let down is awful. Fingers crossed your darker line is a good sign!

Next month I’m def not testing until after AF is due!

firsttimemummy321 · 28/03/2021 12:22

@dreamerkr 🤞🏻 for you! Hopefully you'll see some progression in a few days 💕 cramps can be either so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yeah same again here it's so frustrating 16dpo 2 days late but I don't have much hope tbh as so super faint still but on 3 brands so surely can't all be I dents and can't be evaps as taken within the time frame 😩

Top 3 are fmu bottom is 2mu

Save not lave

Veronika13 · 28/03/2021 12:21

Good approach @dreamerkr
I know it must be hard, but try to hold off a little. Lave yourself the stress.
I can't see any lines at all sorry 🧡

@LividLiving that’s true, and yeah.. I’m worried about it being a chemical so I definitely need to stop testing. But now the cramps have gone.. it’s so weird!

@Dopeyduck I know what you mean, and you’re definitely right about the stress especially after I’ve had so many chemicals before too. I wasn’t even gonna test today but I’m crazy so I did.. and I was shocked to see a pinker, and a darker line. The picture is so rubbish, I know, but the line was more clearer today in real life. Like it’s still really faint but it was using a less sensitive test, and it was pinker. My symptoms got less yesterday, but my boobs are so sore again today. The sides ache like hell. I’m not gonna test now until my period. If it’s late then I’ll test after that. It’s due tomorrow so let’s see what happens. :)

Dopeyduck · 28/03/2021 11:35

I'm really sorry but I can't see any lines. I think you're being unkind to yourself and you need to stop early testing and just wait until you're post your period being due. If you are in fact pregnant this obsessive testing and stress is not good for you. Testing won't change the result. Try to be kind to yourself.

LividLiving · 28/03/2021 11:30

You have those cramps when you’re pregnant, too.

But super faint lines can mean chemical. I hope this isn’t the case for you.

This line looks lighter in the pics than the previous pics I posted but it’s darker guys.. and it’s using the Answer test which apparently is less sensitive than FRER. But these cramps! :(

So, I just tested using FMU, with an Answer brand test. The one that looks really similar to FRER. And the line is slightly darker! I mean, it’s still really faint, but I didn’t have to squint to see it. I’ll attach a picture but the pics didn’t turn out well. It’s clearly visible in real life and it’s definitely pink. But superrr light. But I still don’t have hope, because I woke up this morning with strong AF-like cramps. I’ve had cramps when I found out with my chemicals too, but those cramps were different. It really feels like AF is almost here right now.. it’s definitely like period cramps and they’re strong. :(

How are you guys getting along? x

@firsttimemummy321 did you test again?

@firsttimemummy321 that’s true, and it must have been implantation bleeding then. I hope your test is darker tomorrow, good luck! x

firsttimemummy321 · 27/03/2021 14:44

@dreamerkr 🤞🏻 symptoms this early can come and go so try not to worry the hcg level is so low still so wouldn't cause much so 🤞🏻

Thank you, nice to hear others can see them my husband thinks I'm crazy 😂
I bled from 7-10dpo so assumed either early period or implantation and pretty sure about ov as was confirmed with opks and temp 🙈

Was tracking as breastfeeding a little bit still and not bled since April last year 🙈

@firsttimemummy321 I can see all of those lines, perhaps you ovulated later than you thought you did, that’s why the lines are still faint? I have my fingers crossed for you! These don’t look like evap lines to me! Is your period late?

I might test again in the evening after a 4-5 hour hold, let’s see how that goes. I’m not too hopeful though. My boobs were so sore over the last few days, they still are sore but only very slightly. :(

OP posts:
firsttimemummy321 · 27/03/2021 14:22

@dreamerkr no it's got darker but I'm talking from a torch squinter to a visible without torch but still a shadow/squinter but I'm sure it should be so much stronger now! Been on frer one step and easy@home but I'm thinking it's cruel indents maybe, can't be evap as there at 3 mins

Photo of a variety of shadows these are all the last 2 days

Have you tried in the evening on a min 4 hour hold and little drinking? Mine were always stronger at night with my first

@firsttimemummy321 the line isn’t getting lighter? Did you test using a different brand? X

@FayLivvie OPKa can pick up pregnancy, so you should try with a FRER! Fingers crossed for you 😊

firsttimemummy321 · 27/03/2021 13:25

@dreamerkr 🤞🏻 mine are super faint shadows tbh but are there at 3 mins so shouldn't be an evap and been on 3 brands as well. Been like this for a week am 15dpo today

@FayLivvie 🤞🏻 it can pick up pregnancy something to do with the protein similarity but you can also surge before af but 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
