Time to unleash the crazy... Can you see a line?

Really a smudge?

I'm 11dpo/CD31 and wasn't holding out much hope for this cycle as I ovulated v late (CD20) and had to fly overseas for work on O day. So we only managed to DTD the night before.

The top test is FMU and I think I can see a faint smudge - the second is about 3 hours later & pure as the driven snow.

What do you think? Fully prepared to be told I'm deluded/batshit crazy, I'm a compulsive POAS-er 😳

I'm not familiar with these tests but it is in the far left box the result appears?

No the smudge I am looking at is under the nib of the blue pen ... It's obviously very subtle 😂😳

Thanks - at the very least it means I'm not totally crazy!

I see it. Those tests are the devils work though and like to produce lines at random so be wary. If you're producing a line on one of those you'll definitely get one on a FRER so test again.

I did actually test with a FRER and nary a skerritt, but it was mid afternoon so I'm crossing my fingers for FRER with FMU tomorrow. I'll keep you posted!

The FMU thing is a bit of a myth, you could test later today if you wanted to. When I got my BFP I had a suspicious negative in the morning and then got my BFP clear as day around 11am Smile both on FRER.

Hmm don't tempt me! It's evening here so I'll hold off til tomorrow. These are FRER strips, I don't know if they are the same (i.e. As good) as the fancier FRER tests, the plastic stick ones (I have them too 😳 Any excuse to poas...)

I'd go for both a cheapie stick and a posh frer first thing in the morning but I'm quite a keen poas'er :)

I can see something on the top one!! Good luck and let us know what happens with the next test!!

Nothing on the FRER this morning ☹️ I'm 12 dpo so I guess that means I'm out? On CD32 and I normally have a 28 day cycle! Very maddening.
