background: I had a mmc and ERPC in May, one AF 5 weeks later (and definite bfn just before) and am on my second cycle. Haven't been charting or using ov tests, just dtd every other day. It's now cd23. My cycles are usually 30-34 days, but I was expecting a bit of disruption following the mc. However, I wasn't expecting to start spotting on Friday, cd20. I assumed it was going to be a mega-early AF as a result of the disruption, but AF never arrived. Since then I have been spotting a bit, but nothing more than that, and am mega-bloated (my first symptom of pregnancy both times I've been pg). I decided to buy a test for this weekend and do it on sat, in the hope that this is implantation bleeding. I didn't know I had a test in the house, but found one in the cupboard tonight...a stupid impulse made me open it (why? On cd23, why?) it was a first response early one. However, to pile stupidity on top of stupidity, I ran out of wee as I did the test and only managed a tiny dribble - no way did it get the 5 seconds the instructions say. The control line came up, but only faintly. I cursed myself for wasting a fiver and threw it away.
Obviously, the devil on my shoulder made me take it out 15 mins later and look. The control line was a lot darker, and there was the faintest positive line too. But this was just an evap line, wasn't it? I tested stupidly early and didn't wee enough...so it's bound to be an evaporation line? I've just never seen one before - bfns in the past have always stayed bfn...
