Thank you sakura

lilygirl81 · 16/10/2015 09:13

Congratulations Jo and I love your ring wanting

I did a test today as planned to see if I should worry if I have a glass of wine at my parents house this weekend, and I'm not sure. I think I can see a very faint line, and I could see it really quickly. It's not overly clear in photos, looks more like a shadow, but there is definitely colour to it and it was there within the time. What do you think?

Those photos do make it hard to tell actually, not sure if I can get a better one

JellyBaby26 · 16/10/2015 09:30

There certainly looks like there's something there.

Maybe go and get a FRER?

lilygirl81 · 16/10/2015 09:35

Jellybean would a FRER be any use just now, or would I be best to wait until tomorrow morning or Sunday, given how faint it is?

MrsNuckyT · 16/10/2015 09:46

lily as the first response ones are so sensitive, if you do one today it is likely to give you a clearer line than another type of hpt. Might give you an indication one way or the other.

Well, I'm now one day over and no AF. Did a FRER two days ago and it was a bfn, so not sure what's going. Suspect she'll just be a day or two late. So frustrating since at this point I'd rather just know if she's coming!

JellyBaby26 · 16/10/2015 10:17

Well I know what I would do.....especially as I would be convinced of that line!

If there is something faint on a cheaper one it will be stronger on a FRER X

MrsNuckyT · 16/10/2015 10:29

I've looked again at the photo and think I can see what you mean. How long after the test did you take the photo (only asking because I can see you're in the car so presume you didn't actually poas while in the drivers' seat ;-) ). It's just that evaporation lines can start to appear like that after an hour or two.

BeauticianNotMagician81 · 16/10/2015 10:32

Lily I think I can see something too. Ooh good luck. I'm keeping my fx for you Smile

lilygirl81 · 16/10/2015 10:40

I took the photo about 20 minutes after, but the line hasn't changed since 4 minutes after I took the test, it's just I have awful lighting at home. Thanks everyone, I'm a bit in shock! Also panicking now as I've had an ectopic before and will need a very early scan to make sure any bean is in the right place...

MrsNuckyT · 16/10/2015 11:17

Early scans are actually very exciting! I had one at 6 weeks last time and even then you can see the heart beat flickering away in the middle of a blob. It's amazing that 6 short weeks after that you see a fully formed baby on the screen, albeit tiny!!

lilygirl81 · 16/10/2015 14:55

Well, the FRER was a big fat BFN, so guess I'll just have to wait and see after a couple of days Sad

Vikkijayne2507 · 16/10/2015 23:20

Frustrating lily hopefully you get an answer soon,

On cd 12. Positive opk today and I seem to ov on day 13. We dtd on cd 8, 10, and will be first thing tomorrow morning as oh had a pre arranged night out. I hope it's enough

Havetobecrazytolivehere · 17/10/2015 00:05

Hi, hope no-one minds me joining in.
I haven't had AF in a while so not sure when to test but think I picked up my LH surge last Tuesday so am just waiting for it to arrive before I count myself out.
TTC #4 but am very nervous as we are keeping it a secret in RL. I don't know anyone with 4 children and when I talk to my friends they are really negative and Hmm
My DH has finally agreed but said he wants it to be a surprise (he wants to pretend it is accidental as he will get stick from his family) so I feel a bit alone in all this.
It usually takes us 6-7 months so I may be around for a while. Lovely to see so many BFP's already. Good luck to everyone.

Welcome have we are ttc #4 too and get similar comments from family re another baby. So rude-what's it got to do with them! Makes me very Angry

JellyBaby26 · 17/10/2015 09:20

Oh no lily Flowers

When is af due?

lilygirl81 · 17/10/2015 09:36

Jelly AF is due tomorrow. I did another of the same brand as I got the faint BFP with yesterday with fmu but got another BFN so might be a chemical preg. Going to hold off testing again for a few days if I can as last month I had an unusually long cycle, so AF may not even be due yet I guess.

have welcome, it's a very friendly place here Smile

TattieHowkerz · 17/10/2015 09:56

I'm just going to jump on to this thread.

TattieHowkerz, Age37, TTC#2, test date 25/10/15. Have a feeling might have been too late this month as we started TTC on the morning of CD 15. I'd already had EWCM for a couple of days and am not sure when it stopped. Was perhaps on the way out by the time we tried. Anyway, fingers crossed!

JellyBaby26 · 17/10/2015 18:22

Thought I'd share this picture of my bfps from a few weeks ago.
I knew there was a line on the first one even though you can't see it! Also shows ic are pretty weak!

October bfp bus, hop on your broomsticks and banish the witch!
lilygirl81 · 17/10/2015 21:59

jelly thanks for the photos, maybe gives me a glimmer of hope, but cramping badly now Sad

Havetobecrazytolivehere · 18/10/2015 00:03

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Think I will give it another week for AF to start before I do any tests. Unlikely I would catch on so soon but am seriously addicted to POAS.
Good to know IC's are not going to show before FRER.

FX for our BFP's Smile

lilygirl81 · 18/10/2015 08:02

Was up during the night being sick, which isn't a normal AF symptom, though I do still have cramps. Got a v v faint BFP on an FRER, but it won't photograph, so I'm not giving up. I'm going to cling to this until AF arrives or mid-week when I will do a digital one

Loki17 · 18/10/2015 08:18

Good luck Lily!

BindiBarbarella · 18/10/2015 11:40

Good luck Lily!! Hope you're feeling better soon xxx
