Positive or just wishful thinking??

Today is 9dpo and I took my first test this morning using a FRED test. I can see a very faint line, do you? It appeared after 2/3 mins.
I'm reading a lot about evap lines so I'm getting more anxious...need to relax.

Any advice much appreciated, thank you

I had a FRER like yours this morning, it was actually fainter than this. I then did the 6 day early CB digi and look…!! I can’t believe it!

@EsouthA I will! Every cycle once I've ovulated I've been experiencing a heaviness in my lower abdomen and perhaps dull cramps for most of the TWW - I was wondering if TTC was making me hyper-aware, or whether something else was going on and in fact was planning on getting it checked out if we didn't conceive this month. I still have that this month which is what's keeping me on the cautious side of optimistic.

Last night I had the worst headache, it sent me to bed early it was so bad and making me feel really sick! My boobs are quite sore too. These are both out of the ordinary. Still feeling quite sicky but could simply be ill!

Good signs for you 🤞🤞🤞

@Bluets definitely let me know how your test goes tomorrow.
Have you many symptoms?
I have quite frequent mood swings which I don't usually have at this time in my cycle and I also keep getting bad headaches (I rarely get a headace usually). I have dull cramps which come and go but not entirely sure that's not in my head 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

@EsouthA it looks pink to me! Mine is very similar. I have the Clear Blue up to 6 days early for tomorrow - it tells you in words so I'm hoping it will take the ambiguity out of it. I'm so nervous though! I hope you have positive news tomorrow. Keep in touch, let us know how you get on!

@Bluets
Ye that's what I've been reading. I can't tell if it's pink or grey, I would say more pink but it's so light it's hard to tell 😬
Does yours look similar?
I will test again tomorrow I think, I'm too impatient to wait a couple more days.

Looks positive to me x

I can see a line there and I'm have really similar feelings to you this morning having also tested using a 1st response at 10 dpo with a very faint line appearing after 2-3 mins. I've been reading with pink dye tests, if the line is a faint pink that's a good sign, if it's grey it could be an evap line. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
