VERY faint positive, or am I kidding myself?!

What do you think? I can't tell if I've driven myself to insanity with all of this, or if there is actually a very faint line?! I am 9dpo, assuming I ovulated approx. 24 hours after getting a static smiley on my clear blue ovulation test this month.
I know I am silly to have tested so early, but I have sadly become a little obsessed with ttc after experiencing a mmc at 8 weeks back in January.

VERY faint positive, or am I kidding myself?!

Google image and co pilot are detecting 2 faint lines am I going insane and thinking the opposite these are 100% negative ?

These are both negative tests

Onowotpants · 17/10/2025 09:50

I can only see white indent lines on those.

Trust your eyes in good lighting!

How lovely that you get to share the news with your partner later 😊
I'll keep you posted on how I go xx

It does! It was a 6 day digi but I thought I'd risk it without FMU in the hope I could show my other half the actual words later! Was nervous it would come back negative but I think that's a definitive answer!! Keep me posted with yours!

@Harveybelle
Yay! 🥳
Huge congrats! Must make it seem more real seeing the word 'pregnant'!
My lines are continuing to progress slowly, so fingers crossed. Wishing you all the very best in this pregnancy ❤️ xx

None at all.. I've been weeing more, but no symptoms otherwise. With my son I had sore breasts, and also with my last pregnancy (had a mc in January) I had sore breasts and cravings.. but this time it was just a hunch!

Update!!

Amazing!!! Huge congrats! My period is due in 7 days so I'm keen to get an early test now. Do you have any symptoms?

Harveybelle · 26/04/2024 11:55

Update!!

@Harveybelle it certainly looks very positive, even after only holding for half an hour 🥳

@girlmom2 I can't see a line at the moment, but it may just be the photo. I had negatives at 8dpo, but got my first very very faint line at 9dpo, so there's definitely still hope 😊

OP posts:

girlmom2 · 25/04/2024 16:39

Don't know if any clearer the other one seemed blurry

girlmom2 · 25/04/2024 16:36

I'm also inpatient ... 6 days before period due , is this positive 😅

Harveybelle · 25/04/2024 16:09

Forgot to post pic!

Harveybelle · 25/04/2024 16:08

This is a good line!!
I just caved again. Third one down is just now only after a half hour hold. So lighter but to be expected. And still only 11dpo.

Going to wait and do my last two tomorrow before my OH gets home... fingers crossed for those lines still!!

Fleur9 · 25/04/2024 14:11

@Harveybelle I think your one today looks a little stronger 😃
I took another one just now after holding on for a few hours and it's definitely darker than the one yesterday. I think it's safe to say we're both pregnant... congratulations! Let's hope that this time it's a happy ending for us 🥰 xx

OP posts:

Harveybelle · 25/04/2024 10:06

Too yesterday. Bottom just now... still lines but not much stronger x

Harveybelle · 25/04/2024 07:42

I definitely will. I think I'll do another later and then in the morning. My OH would much rather know so I'll definitely tell him x

@Harveybelle it's still so early for both of us. I totally get why people say to leave it until your missed af. Why am I so impatient?! 🥴
I don't know your OH, but I would tell him. That way you can support each other from the get go. I wouldn't expect to see too much of a difference in line progression at this stage, and I keep reminding myself that some people don't even get a sniff of a positive until a lot later. Although your early detection test looks very strong! It's going to be a long few days for us! Keep me posted won't you xx

Harveybelle · 25/04/2024 07:23

@Fleur9 I'm in the same boat. Pretty confused. Mine this morning is similar to yesterdays on the same test but after work I did a 6 day early response and got this.. so todays on the cheapie strips are just as faint but this early one came up pink. Might grab a couple more of these for the next two days. OH is back tomorrow and I don't want to tell him and get his hopes up.. when af isn't technically due til Monday. But also can't keep it secret! 😩

This photo shows it a little clearer. I do think it's slightly darker than yesterday's. We shall see. Thanks to everyone who responded yesterday x

Just a quick update... I did another test this morning. I can see a line again on this one, but it's still very faint. I am only 10dpo though. Really hoping the line starts to get darker over the next few days. Fingers crossed!

OP posts:

Wiggleyfingers · 24/04/2024 15:03

Looked exactly like mine at 10dpo. Good luck! 😊❤️

@Harveybelle I'm so sorry you've experienced a miscarriage recently too. It's so hard not to symptom spot and obsess a little isn't it! Like you, I just felt a little different this month. Keeping everything crossed for us both x
