7 weeks late…is this my BFP?

After weeks of BFNs, I’ve got this. It came up within 5 mins but is very faint.
Opinions please?

@Buttons659 I had a faint positive (enough to be a convincible BFP) last November and honestly was sure I was pregnant. I'd only been TTC since July. I wasn't pregnant and decided to stop TTC for a while and enjoy Christmas. The next month I got my BFP

It's so strange how it works, the odds were against me due to previously having to have ivf. I also think it's incredibly cruel when you get a false positive. It set me back emotionally, please don't let it set you back. Even if you weren't TTC it's a lot of weight on your shoulders because it's a hard thing to go through

@Sunshinegirl82 I done FRER this morning BFN, i did think i could see a very very faint line but now I'm not so sure and believe I had a classic case of line eyes haha!

@Buttons659 testing is so cruel and frustrating isnt it?!
I get that, maybe you are but the hcg is still too low to be picked up on some tests.
If you are not preg then in all honesty I'd put it all down to the covid vaccine, its doing weird stuff to people - ill add I'm not necessarily an anti vax but having read so many posts from women since they've had it and their symptoms, it seems to be quite common at the moment. I'd get onto your GP anyway and just get checked out ! Xx

I agree that you should be cautiously optimistic! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Ive just done a Wilko test, and got a glaring, unmistakable BFN. So I guess that proves the ICs we’re just evaps.

I’m not sure how to feel TBH. We weren’t TTC, so it’s ok not to be pregnant right now, but atleast it would have provided me with some answers.
I’ve missed 2 periods, unusually loads of CM, nausea and queasiness, and belching loads (hiccup type things, not burps)….But BFNs.
I’m fed up now, I just wanna know what’s wrong with my body. Now I have to face upto the fact that I probably have something medically wrong with me 😢 and that’s really scary!

@Sunshinegirl82 I agree they are, but only after the time frame... within the time they are good!
I have a first response to try in the morning but I'm feeling pretty confident that it is an evap line, i have been googling and its happened to quite allot of people ! I also read that evap lines seem to be thinner than positives so looks like I'm out :(
This is the same test within the time frame and when i got back from the shops a couple hours later 😩

Blue die are just cruel if you're like me and lack the capability of just accepting what you see in the time given 😂 x

All blue dye tests are rubbish in my experience! Always giving weird looking lines and confusing evaps!

That said I'd be wanting to do a first response after those just to be sure, there is a lot of colour in that line.

StillJustWaiting · 29/10/2021 19:32

@Holskey unfortunately it is :( this is within the time frame... totally negative, its so frustrating 😩

@Buttons659 they are so cruel :( i've had it in the past with these tests too, it just literally shows you can not read the test after the 10 minute mark!! X

7 weeks late…is this my BFP?
Buttons659 · 29/10/2021 19:13

Oh my, @StillJustWaiting if they are evaps, they’re the cruelest ones I’ve ever seen!

OP posts:
Holskey · 29/10/2021 18:52

@stilljustwaiting no way is that 10dpo an evaporation line!

StillJustWaiting · 29/10/2021 16:47

Oh noo, i had exactly that with the freedom tests, they kept giving me false positives, I ended up making my friend pee in a pot... hers come back positive too, at that point we were like either we are both pregnant or these are some really awful cruel tests, tried a couple with tap water and yup, my tap was pregnant too!
Its not fair!
But i have had some nasty evap lines on clear blue tests... these are my tests from the last 3 days - all were negative in the time frame so they are evaporation lines...
Top - 8DPO
Middle - 9DPO
Bottom, today - 10DPO

Its so frustrating!

Hi @StillJustWaiting I havnt been able to get another test yet as I’ve been waiting in for the joiner all morning, but I’m gonna pop out to get one soon.
Got another squinter BFP with FMU…BUT I’ve just used water on the test and also got a very similar test line show up!!! So looking likely that they’re just nasty evaps!

StillJustWaiting · 29/10/2021 13:20

@Buttons659 any update today? Did you manage to get a different test to try??
Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🌸

Buttons659 · 28/10/2021 23:54

Currently feeling veeeerry queasy at the smell of fabric softener coming out of the tumble drier 🤢
Literally feel the saliva filling my cheeks.

Yikes.

Sunshinegirl82 · 28/10/2021 20:46

@Buttons659

I've got a thread on here about it somewhere! The FR was a clear positive (as was digital obviously!) Even looking back at the photos of the test now you have to really study it to see anything and even then it's only a hint of a line!

Buttons659 · 28/10/2021 20:31

@Sunshinegirl82 that’s exactly what I’ve read on the Amazon reviews too!

OP posts:
Buttons659 · 28/10/2021 20:22

Oh wow, thank you so much for all these helpful replies!
I know you’re all right…I need to do a CB or FRER but I’m too scared! I wasn’t TTC (we just had a slip up for the first time since DS was born 6 yrs ago) so having that element of doubt is the only thing stopping me from freaking out!
I know I need to do it though. 😬

OP posts:
Sunshinegirl82 · 28/10/2021 20:08

I would try a first response. I used these and with DS2 got the faintest line ever (so faint I very nearly dismissed it as a negative) on day period was due. Got clear positives on both FR and a clear blue digital the same day. Took about another week for the onestep to show a clear positive.

saltontoast · 28/10/2021 20:06

Looks like a positive to me, can you get a clear blue digital

StillJustWaiting · 28/10/2021 20:04

@Buttons659 i can still see a line! But fainter than SMU... hmmm FRER for sure, hopefully you'll get a clearer answer then! X

Holskey · 28/10/2021 19:24

They look positive to me but most likely not right for 7 weeks. Either they're very dodgy tests or you've ovulate later than usual. I would try a different brand, preferably a frer. Good luck!

Buttons659 · 28/10/2021 19:17

@StillJustWaiting
I couldn’t make it to 4 hours, so here is my 3hh….
Not sure what to make of this 🤷‍♀️

StillJustWaiting · 28/10/2021 16:38

I'm glad you seen it too because i cant for the life of me find it again 😂
Yes i would think by now you should definitely be getting a strong BFP, however it depends on what the jab has done to your cycles, its changed some people cycles dramatically and others not at all 🤷‍♀️
Thank you, I'm eager to see ☺️
I honestly cant tell you what is going on, but i truly hope this is your BFP! 🌸

Buttons659 · 28/10/2021 16:23

Thank you @StillJustWaiting.
I seen the link yesterday too, it was very interesting! But surely by the time I’m a few days late, I should be getting a BFN at any time of day! My cycles are usually 25 days 🤷‍♀️
I’ll try to do a 4HH test tonight, but I did that last night and it was BFN. So confusing!

OP posts:
StillJustWaiting · 28/10/2021 16:13

@Buttons659 I think you should try a FRER, also please out of curiosity could you do another this evening with 4hh and post a pic? I'd be interested to see if there is a line again and if its the same or darker !

How long are your cycles usually?

I can definitely see a line and can definitely see that it is darker than yesterday!

Ill try and find the link that someone shared the other day where it shows how many people are getting positive at what stage in their cycle and what time of day, it was an interesting read, lots of people test better with SMU or late evening rather than FMU xx

Buttons659 · 28/10/2021 15:40

Quick update…
Tested with FMU and got BFN

Tested with SMU and got this….
Slightly darker than yesterday, I don’t need to squint and angle it to see it, but still questionable 😩

Also, just realised I titled this post wrong. I’m not 7 weeks late, it’s actually 7 weeks since my last period. 😂
