Back at the start of another TWW… anyone else at the same point and fancy being TWW buddies? We have tried the SMEP method and conceive plus lubricant this month, time will tell if they have made a difference!🤞🏼

Just got home and did another test, stark white. Spotting is also not stopping so I am now sure that it's a sign of AF approaching, probably I'm just having a short cycle this time (happens to me sometimes). Will not waste any more tests now and will just wait for AF and the next cycle and start over.

Sending baby dust to everyone, hope to see some bfps here tomorrow 🥰

@PennyPencils Great to hear you think the easy@home are good and it’s been useful to hear your experiences with them thank you!!

PennyPencils · 21/09/2024 18:37

Indents can become lines overnight is what I've found.
I've used so many hundreds of easy@ home tests when trying for so long for my last DD that I trust that there's rarely smoke without fire on them. Never had indents. Had very very faint lines for a few days then chemicals sure, but this would never happen, say when I'd just ovulated so although the lines are annoyingly faint for a while to start with, they do pick it up very early and a bit of intense torch work can give you a clue that there's something happening in there. I love them.

Didn't realise that was going to be such a love letter to cheapie tests but there we go. It's fitting for this thread I think 🤣

I've got line eyes badly. Just done a long photoshoot with a blank test.

@Littlebean25 yes!! My control line was ridiculously light so can imagine me and my torch with that one🤣🤣

Hahaha that's what I've just been doing 😂😂

Just done a boots, the control line is so light! Do they always look like this?
If the control line is this light I'd have no chance seeing a positive 😂

This is after 10 mins too!

I got a very clear indent line last cycle (sadly!) the way I verified it was just to do another test with same wee (which had no indent) and then the next morning, which also had no indent sadly.

If you're getting lots of indents that sounds like a proper line to me

Bb542 · 21/09/2024 17:59

It's not as obvious as my previous test but there's a little shadow there. I don't think it came up within 5 mins though. I wish we all just knew.... anyone have a crystal ball?

@Emiily887 I've a good feeling about you. I think you definitely might have implanted late 🤞🏼

I don’t get how an indent line would happen. Is it more grey tinged? My ‘lines’ look the same thickness that the line should be and it’s in the right place… I can’t really tell if they look grey or not.

yeah the frustration is starting to sink in now as at this point in my cycle I would have hoped for darker lines like I had last time.

Sometimes you can get an indent in just water. I think basically if you put a magnifying glass on a test there will often be a tiny indent where the test line is meant to form, because it has the chemical/detection stuff in a line there.

You'd never get a clear, thick line as an indent though. But for a 'is it there isn't it' line it could be. Indent lines will never have colour, or be highly visible from what I understand. So yes it'd be very faint and also grey

Just dipped the boots one in water…no indent😱

@Bb542 noooo you’re joking! Did it come up in the time frame? As my ‘is it isn’t it’ last night was in the time frame, same with the boots one. This morning’s I thought was negative then thought I had lime eyes so not too sure on that one.
Your lines do look too convincing to be indents surely ☹️

Question, so I’ve just gone back through the thread to check when I had the sharp quick pains, it was Thursday around 2ish, so if that was implantation that means I’d have only implanted Thursday at the earliest. Is it 48-72 hours for hcg to rise enough? Maybe it’s still just too early??🥲 in which case….rip to all the hours I’ve spent examining my science experiments since 7dpo🤣

Bb542 · 21/09/2024 17:39

I think there's is a little indent on the water test so I'm officially counting myself as out this cycle. Hopefully AF comes soon so I can move on from this cycle.

LuxyLocket · 21/09/2024 17:33

That is re assuring @Emiily887 but let’s hope it’s not a chemical or indent.

Bb542 · 21/09/2024 17:33

Emiily887 · 21/09/2024 17:26

Done a boots strip and a clear & simple, both have the same shadow mark as the easy@ home but it’s still almost invisible!! Although these are 25miu. So I’m either getting a ton of indents, I’ve not long implanted or it’s a chemical. Question is, which one😭

I'm in the exact same boat 💔 so frustrating. Hopefully we'll have a clearer answer tomorrow 👀

We've all lost the plot 😂 can't believe I'm wasting pregnancy tests for science 🤣 the water test is stark white so far...

Ooh well that's good news isn't it?!

I will test again tonight as I'm too impatient to wait until tomorrow 😂 was out of the house all day so that kept me a bit distracted. I have been feeling quite nauseous at various points today but it's probably nothing. Also spotting again so chances are, it's AF (although I did spot at around 11-12dpo in my last pregnancy too so who knows...)

Bb542 · 21/09/2024 16:58

Littlebean25 · 21/09/2024 16:54

All this testing has encouraged me 🤦‍♀️

Put too much urine on the test hoping it would be stronger and flooded the last test in the house 😭 At least the whole thing is bright pink and not stark white 🤣 Off to boots for some more experiments!

🤣🤣🤣 oh dear. I support you and your POAS addiction 😂

Yes keep us updated! I will be doing this tonight!

@Emiily887 did you have a go with your cheapy tests yet?

Bb542 · 21/09/2024 16:46

Currently doing science experiment now... one test with water and the other with wee 🤣 both developing as I type this. I will keep you all updated 😂

LuxyLocket · 21/09/2024 16:46

@Bb542 I’m feeling exactly the same, this time last time I tested in what would be 2 days from now but I had a very visable line on an hcg strip that was 25mi. If my 10mi are barely showing a line I’m not getting too hopeful. If I am pregnant it’s the slowest building hcg ever
