Hi , can I ask your opinions please?

On Thursday at 7pm, I had one drop of bright red blood and horrid cramps that eve. Presumed my period had started early. If I go by my app (I didn’t use ovulation sticks this month) I’d have been 11dpo. Anyway, since then, no more bleeding. I’ve taken two tests (yesterday afternoon (predicted 12dpo) and this morning predicted 13dpo) on a clear blue early test and there was a vvvfl. My worry is it could be an indent, and/or hasn’t got any darker between the two tests.

I’ve attached a pic of today’s test to see if you can see anything. Just wanted to see a nice clear line, not a confusing one/one that makes me question it!

catness75 · 07/10/2023 09:59

With my first I never even thought about it! But I didn't have any information because I was quite young. I was working it out actually wayyy back in 2012 when I got my BFP with her on 11/12dpo I think!
In my heart I just feel like it isn't going to happen for me 😞
Its so tough!

kat167 · 07/10/2023 09:49

@catness75 it's such an emotional rollercoaster! I understand why all the sites recommend not to test until the day your period is due or the day after.

I had a vfl yesterday and today nothing. No it's so confusing. I think I'll retest tomorrow morning just because DH will be traveling all next week and if it is positive I want to tell him I'm person of course. But if that's negative or still really faint, I'm just going to wait to see if AF comes or not. I can't keep spending money in these tests!

catness75 · 07/10/2023 09:41

@kat167
I am gutted but relieved any sign of a line and I'm hopeful so at least it's super clear this time! I've had lines on all different brands of tests though which is really disappointing. Technically I'm only 11dpo and I suppose there is time but I think Id have a positive by now!

kat167 · 07/10/2023 09:39

@catness75 ah, I'm sorry! 😔

catness75 · 07/10/2023 09:36

Well doesn't get more negative than this 😞

peonym · 07/10/2023 09:08

It's that awful stage of not getting hopes up but also pretty sure something there! I will be so excited to see your tests when they arrive!

We just paid privately for one, did the same last time around the 6-7w mark before telling parents! Was £60!

@peonym im not getting my hopes up as I’ve had plenty stark whites too but just hoping it’s still very early and some tests are picking up my hgc levels and some aren’t yet.
12 dpo today. Not got any tests left until my Amazon delivery later on but I might see if I can hold off until tomorrow.
that’s amazing and so reassuring to see a heart beat so early too! How come you had an early scan?

peonym · 07/10/2023 08:10

@MrBigsCat this looks like the start of promising news!!!! Will keep my fingers crossed for you!!! 🤞🏻

Just had an early US at 6w3d and saw a teeny tiny little alien ball with a teeny tiny little heartbeat lol. Going back in a couple of weeks but this teeny tiny thing is kicking my arse with sickness already 😅

kat167 · 07/10/2023 07:50

@MrBigsCat the horizontal line is a smudge or something. It's faded a bit now maybe but it shouldn't be there. It absorbed unequally, I could see it absorbing at like a diagonal angle. Not sure if that could have had an effect.

It still looks about the same, now evaporation line. I've never had evaporation lines appear really. Maybe a bit on the one from yesterday but the original vfl was still there as it had been

MrBigsCat · 07/10/2023 07:38

@kat167 why can I see something on this?!
Mir also looks like there a horizontal line along the bottom ?
how does it look now out of curiosity?
I did one on Thursday and it was negative and after 30 mins a thin blue line appeared, evap I assumed but do they all do this?

kat167 · 07/10/2023 07:08

Did another CB today but it looks like a BFN. It's confusing because I really thought I saw something on yesterday's. This test has a smudge, so I don't know if maybe it didn't work as well. I also had to pee twice during the night. Maybe I drank too much water before bed or something. Or maybe I just imagined yesterday's very vfl.

Twochubbylegs · 06/10/2023 21:21

@MrBigsCat yep, awful isn't it! I'm currently 6/7dpo, definitely had sex at the right time and holding out to 11/12dpo at present to test! Steering clear of the easy@home this time though

Original poster

MrBigsCat · 06/10/2023 21:13

@Twochubbylegs you would be mistaken thinking they were positives if the dates added up 😡
I’m at the stage when I’ll only believe a positive when I get the words on a digi!

I see a line @babbaganoush !

@Twochubbylegs they look positive were these the only lines you got that cycle?

Yes, one was a Friday evening and the other was the Monday. All other tests in between the two were negative, including different brands and after! They also didn't add up with my cycle or when we had sex, but my curiosity got the better of me as my app suggested I was late at 23 days - I'm normally 28-34 days 😂

Hello all!! I came across the 1st thread and found every comment so friendly and kind, so thought I'd join this one too :)

Here's some easy@home evaps for your line eye pleasure. Cruel things!! I had a normal period about 5 days after these.

babbaganoush · 06/10/2023 18:22

I feel like I've found my people!

Anyone see anything on this? 8dpo so I know it's stupidly early but I can't help myself.....

catness75 · 06/10/2023 18:03

@MrBigsCat i felt really good this afternoon best id felt all week. Now I do think AF is on her way 😭 I am gutted and to be honest a bit relieved I'll have a answer!

MrBigsCat · 06/10/2023 17:43

I feel the same very crampy, very emotional
I’ve had cramps in all my previous pregnancies (3)
so it could be either af or pregnancy.
I always got cramps when my periods were due at 8/12/16 weeks too which was worrying but was always fine

catness75 · 06/10/2023 17:38

@humanwinginglife i am 10 dpo today but in the last hour felt very much like AF is on its way! 😞

humanwinginglife · 06/10/2023 17:30

catness75 · 06/10/2023 14:28

What do people think of this because I can't wait til tomorrow morning 😂🙄

Looks very much like mine today. How many DPO are you? It looks like it could be the start of something but best to wait a day or two for a true result. Everything crossed for you!

@humanwinginglife im not sure but daylight washes mine out they are hardly visible, in a shaded area in my house is where mine show up the best

I just realised this myself after doing yet another test. Tempted to get a FRER this afternoon.

Yours are looking fab! Everything crossed for you!
