Going mad waiting to see if I’m pregnant , has anyone had ridiculously faint line thinking it was evap when actually it was pregnancy ?

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone can give me any stories about when they got a bfp (before or after period) and share some tests that were faint but turned out to be positive /pregnant. I am going mad wondering if I see lines or not and I definitely can I’m just not sure if it has colour so obv scared it’s an evap line . Guess I just want somewhere to talk where I don’t feel crazy and know I won’t be judged and perhaps get some reassurance.
I’m having every symptom under the sun and have been since about 3 days after sex - I know you don’t get pregnant that quick .
Does this sound similar to anyone ?
Thanks

I’m really sorry but no one will be able to tell you either way, I really hope you manage to get a BFP soon!

That said, I know the day I conceived and I was absolutely exhausted from about 5 days afterwards. Wine tasted weird, I had a weirdly runny nose, and felt very sick and bloated. Test didn’t show up as positive for about 2 weeks after but I did have symptoms right away.

On the other hand, your body can sometimes play tricks with you and you end up trying to symptom spot so do try and relax, easier said than done

We weren’t trying to concieve at the time that’s why I’m sure my symptoms aren’t made up if you know what I mean - not that you’re implying that ! :)
We lost our daughter in October at 40 weeks . I’m in the most horrific pain but thinking I could be brought a little hope back . Not that a different baby will ever replace my daughter x

Aaah the 2 week wait and symptom spotting is just painful!!!
How many DPO are you?!
I attached a pic of BFP of mine from my last pregnancy. I was 8 DPO. It's vvvvvvv faint but ended up being my DD who is now 6 months old.
I wouldn't usually post pics like this and it's not going to help your plight but I've been where you are so many times and know how frustrating it all feels and going online to look at pics of lines and tests and tweaked tests and all sorts.
Stay positive! Hope you get your own BFP soon Thanks

Honestly I’m not 100% sure when I ovulate , I know with Robyn I conceived very quickly after my period . According to my app I’m 10dpo x

I’m thinking this is an evap line although , it showed up straight away

My god you poor thing. I can't imagine what you've been through. Truly heartbreaking.

I'm hopeless with evap lines and would hate to even hazard a guess.
You'll know in a few days I suppose...everything crossed for you that you get your BFP!

Minkies13 · 12/03/2020 22:08

With my first pregnancy, the first test I could see an almost see through line if I held it up in certain lights. No one else would have agreed there was a line there, but I just knew. The next day I used a first response and there was the faintest line. This pregnancy I kept getting evaporation lines about 10 mins after testing using first response. Eventually got my positive a few days later. I tested early both times.

Good luck. I hope you get your positive

Bojangles18 · 12/03/2020 22:08

Yeah it’s hell .
Life’s so cruel. I literally found out the day before my due date .
Sometimes I still can’t believe it’s happened to Robyn.
Yeah I just need to be patient ! . Thank you x

Sorry about your daughter @Bojangles18 Where is the evap line? Sorry if i’m being thick as I can see you’ve posted two pics, is there a significance? Hope you got your BFP today!!

Inforthelonghaul · 13/03/2020 10:15

All mine were like this to start with and I used the really cheap test sticks. Fingers crossed for you.

Bojangles18 · 13/03/2020 10:51

Thankyou @SuperMeerkatProbably no significance I can just see a line on both and wanted opinions .
Took another this morning looks the same as that one . Gonna give me a few days break I think !

@Inforthelonghaul did you ever think you were going crazy and only you could see the lines ? 😂

Before testing I felt terrible - like I was beginning to get a really bad cold or something. I remember my partner and I were staying in a Yurt because we'd been at friends wedding, and he suggested walking down to the beach. I felt so awful which is so unlike me I knew something was up. Sometimes you just know.

Russell19 · 13/03/2020 11:32

Mine looked exactly like yours and I now have a 10 month old baby! Keep testing if that line is still there its unlikely to be an evap x

YaThink · 13/03/2020 11:38

Fingers crossed for you! I m only 6 DPO and trying so hard not to think about it but it's hard. Last time I took an early test which was positive. I was so excited and then miscarried at 4weeks 3 days. It would have been easier on me if I never knew I was pregnant and just had a slightly late period. Trying not to think about it this time but I'm so concious of every slight feeling in my body. TMI but last time before I lost it I was a bit constipated and emotional.

Itsashame · 13/03/2020 11:38

Robyn is a lovely name op.
The best of luck to you.

Bojangles18 · 13/03/2020 13:00

@Letsallscreamatthesistene
Hi , I would’ve put money on it a week ago . Never ending symptoms ! Maybe I’m just trying to protect myself thinking I’m not . There’s still time !

Bojangles18 · 13/03/2020 13:05

@YaThink it’s so hard to not think about it when you do desperately want a happy ending I understand that too well .
I’m sorry you had a miscarriage :(
