Hi, been ttc nearly 3 years. Have I finally lost the plot or can you seen the faintest of lines?

It is Sad. Yes chocolate and wine sounds good! It's so strange to have a line and then not have anything today, so cruel.

I'm sorry

emvy · 15/04/2017 22:54

Was it on the same brand best?

emvy · 15/04/2017 22:54

*test

flitterglitter · 16/04/2017 09:24

Thank you.
I've tried a couple of brands - all cheap ones - I think I've seen a couple of faint lines but nothing I could photograph. It's all so confusing and upsetting

Oh that's so difficult, I'm so sorry. I would keep busy and distract yourself as much as possible, and keep testing x

flitterglitter · 16/04/2017 09:39

Thank you emvy - yes I need to distract myself, maybe think about testing in a few days instead if af not here, sure it will be though x

Try again in a couple of days? I could def see a line up there and I'm really bad at seeing lines! If you think you saw a couple of lines on other tests (even if too faint to photo) doesn't that suggest these tests are picking up v faint levels of hormones because I assume you don't normally see anything at all?

Orlandointhewilderness · 16/04/2017 09:52

Fingers crossed for you op.

ImYourMama · 16/04/2017 10:03

You have a surge of hormones around 7 days after conception, this drops off and then builds again around day 14. I tested on these days and then got a negative. I now have 6 month old DD Grin FX for you!

flitterglitter · 16/04/2017 10:34

Thank you for your kind messages - it's helping me.
Yes I'm going to wait a couple of days, that's true - I never normally see anything at all - I've seen so many stark white tests in my time.
Really mama? That's very interesting- fingers crossed then.
Meanwhile every trip to the toilet has me in a complete meltdown thinking I'm going to see af - it's really not good! Blush

emvy · 16/04/2017 10:36

Yeah I was thinking the same as the other posters - that your levels are low so are only picked up by certain tests. It sounds to me like you really could be, you just need to wait a bit before testing again. I have everything crossed for you x

flitterglitter · 16/04/2017 13:38

Thanks emvy I really hope so, this means everything x

I sympathise totally glitter.... I had a faint one yesterday, but today it is blank blank blank. Not even a hint of a squint.

No Af, I'm 8 days late by my avg cycle and 3 by my longest :( it's a rollercoaster, I ft secretly excited last night and now I'm in limbo.

Hand hold Flowers

flitterglitter · 16/04/2017 15:12

Hi lan - oh no, yes hand hold to you too. It's so hard isn't it. I'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything when all I should do really is forget about it for a couple of days or see af turn up.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you x

My ICs were all supposedly 10mul and I didn't get anything on them even when my FRERs were really strong.

Llanali · 17/04/2017 13:04

I'm defffo out, AF here with a vengeance. Bloody bloody test: getting my hopes up :(

Fingers crossed for you to have better luck than me xx

emvy · 17/04/2017 13:13

I'm so sorry Llanali Sad

flitterglitter · 17/04/2017 13:37

I'm so sorry llanani Sad it's so cruel isn't it to have that line then it comes to nothing.
Still in limbo here - I tried a Tesco test today but I don't think there's anything there, I'm not a fan of the blue dye ones anyway. I know I ovulated late but this is ridiculous for me - cd33. Af will be here soon I'm sure

Hotpinkangel19 · 19/04/2017 18:17

Any updates @flitterglitter x

Bubblysqueak · 19/04/2017 18:19

I can see it!!! And I can never see lines !

flitterglitter · 19/04/2017 19:09

Hi hotpink - sadly af arrived so it wasn't the bfp I hoped for. Thank you for asking though. I thought the previous months where af arrived early were bad but this was a whole new level of cruelty I wasn't prepared for. No more pregnancy testing for me ever again unless I'm 3 weeks late - ha as if that would happen

OP posts:
Hotpinkangel19 · 19/04/2017 19:23

Oh bless you xx how horrible x I was hoping you would have had your BFP xx fingers crossed for next cycle x

emvy · 19/04/2017 19:42

So so sorry Sad I wish you all the best for the future and hopefully no more questionable test results!

flitterglitter · 19/04/2017 19:58

Thank you so much emvy and hotpink - your kind words are lovely. I can't believe I let myself believe it after 3 years. Thank you though xx
