faint faint faint line - you'd think I would know better by now

11dpo tic number 3. First took over two years and I tested so many times and scrutinised each text for lines - saw some imagined ones, some real ones that I think were chemical pregnancies. Then when I finally got bp I promised myself never to obsess again as it was so clearly a bp it made very clear all the imagined lines previously were just that.
Number 2 happened first time and line obvious from beginning.
Now ttc number 3 for about five months, tested today on a whim, mid afternoon urine, 11 do, nothing after five mins, faintest of faint lines after an hour - which obviously means nothing and now have to wait a few days to do again (though obi I will do again am - have big bag of cheap eBay tests). Why haven't I learned that you should just wait until 14dpo...

I think in your shoes I'd be testing tomorrow with fmu.

It doesn't take long for the crazy to set in, does it? I'm fighting it, feebly.

sorry so many typos - auto correct hell!
truly temperamental - I am obsessed almost as badly as the first time.

Possibly a ghost of line to the left of the main one? But it's almost impossible to tell, plus I'm on my phone, and I see lines everywhere!

I know how you feel... DD1 took ages, DD2 came along straight away, had one chemical preg in dec, should not have tested so early, now I'm due Monday and fighting the urge too POAS... Can you wait till fmu Saturday? The hormone level should gave doubled by then.

lauren94x · 13/02/2015 13:41

Yeah I don't think there's a chance tho z d it says it detects it 7-9 days after and my estimated ovulation was the 31st/1 February. Which would off bin 2 weeks ago now

TarkaTheOtter · 13/02/2015 13:43

lauren I'd say that's a line and you're pregnant.
Lots of reasons why it might be faint. You might have ov'ed or implanted later than you think.

lauren94x · 13/02/2015 13:55

Thankyou let's hope your right!!??x

wildpoppy · 13/02/2015 15:44

Trying to hold off until tomorrow... Think it's unlikely. Don't feel pregnant. Though didn't feel pregnant the times I was in past, unlike all the times I thought I was. Crazy

Ha yes I'm the same. The cycles I was actually pregnant I had no "symptoms" at all.

wildpoppy · 14/02/2015 20:53

Well I tested this am and was resolutely negative. I think AF due on Monday.

OP posts:
TarkaTheOtter · 14/02/2015 22:15

Well there's a ray of hope if AF due Monday, it's possibly too soon to test.

wildpoppy · 17/02/2015 10:32

A proper faint line this am though dh thinks I am imagining it. But I am sure. With our other children he didn't believe me for days either until the line ultra purple.

I am pleased of course but also wondering shit what the fuck have I done. I have two lovely children and life getting easier - am I about to ruin it all?

Congrats wild I'm ttc #3 too and am sure if I ever conceive I'll have the same "shit what the fuck"... Just enjoy the ride now and take it all as it comes. You're doing it now! It'll be great!

wildpoppy · 17/02/2015 11:14

x thanks zippyswife - have gone into full on panic mode just ignoring all my work and googling third babies!

OP posts:
zippyswife · 17/02/2015 11:53

Ha! I'd be exactly the same!

Ktn35 · 22/12/2017 18:35

Hi - good luck! just out of interest did the line stay or disappear? I just got a faint positive but it disappeared after 10-15 mins? Is this a thing?! The internet if full of confusion on this point! :)
