So it is early, and they are cheap tests, and I promised I wouldn't POAS till I was properly late, but hey ho, I did. Twice...

And I think I can see something. Faint but pink.

Is this total wishful thinking??

Conceived five times previously in month one or two. Been nine months this time so had obvs decided I was elderly and barren and should give up.... hence the total failure to not POAS. Tragically glad someone else can see it too!

Yep, my first tests at 10DPO looked just like this. They gradually got darker! Defo positive, just very early that's all.

Think I am about 9dpo. My plan had been to test when actually late, or 12dpo at the earliest. I have no willpower.

Don't worry I was the same. I always knew I wanted to see the line progress so I tested from 7DPO and did it every single day until 20DPO. Not sure what the line progression has given me, but I enjoyed doing it all the same. It put a smile on my face Smile

Yay. Will obviously be doing this on a daily basis now...!

Is it worth try doing daily or should I give it two days to see a difference?

And how many times can I POAS before I have to admit I have a problem?

OP posts:

Give it 3 days between POAS because that's how long it takes for a good rise. However I personally would not POAS again until you've missed AF. I can kinda see a line but it's not 100% clear. Good luck!!

Yep can see it Smile mine looked like this at 9dpo. I wasn't entirely convinced then did it again 10dpo and it was a lot clearer (still faint though!).

I mean obviously you're better waiting until you're actually late but if you're anything like me that won't happen and you'll wake at 6am tomorrow to POAS Wink

Yep! Just for comparison here are mine: strong FRER at 11dpo... barely there on an internet cheapie at 12dpo... internet cheapies take ages to show proper lines. Congrats!

I am behaving myself and saving my frer until I am at least due... but that is quite reassuring. Thanks

Mine looked like that to begin with ! There's about 7-8 days between the first test and the last

Actually there is a line on the frer just v faint. Can't get it to come out in a picture but can see in real life. Have another one stashed to try on Thursday when AF actually due.

Deconstructed the frer to lose the shadow and think it shows here?

I can see on frer but to be honest I never paid for more expensive tests to " confirm it " I just kept going with the cheap tests for a week and was happy
