Testing crazy - could this testing mistake be a bfp?!!

Hi guys I am on cd30 of a 34-35 day cycle. I think I ovd on cd21or 22 (going by opks) so I am 8 maybe 9 dpo. I know it’s too early to tell but I am a POAS addict even tho I am TTC #3! So... I had a bfn on frer this morning and IC. I’ve been at work and decided to use a IC. I accidentally dropped it in a shallow cup of wee(!) but straight away a second line appeared. I then thought ah that’s wrong and did a test with another bfp this time dropping it in again. It waalso came up with a line. I then got another IC and did the same with water and it is def bfn. Anyway what is going on? I did another frer and that’s negative and now done another IC but the ‘proper way’and there isbdef something very faint there but it looks a bit thinner than the control line ! Bit confused but fingers crossed

Can you post a picture? It may just be an evap where the test was flooded but I wish you luck anyway 😊 xxx

As one pee stick addict to another, I would avoid those tests as it's hard to distinguish between a positive / evap - your best bet is FR or CB, but realistically implantation may have only just happened, so for the sake of your bank balance I would stick to testing with the more expensive tests after 10DPO even 11 or 12 DPO.

The best thing I realised was when I got a friend a pregnancy test, she was late, she said it was negative, I looked in the bin and I've never seen such a strong positive. So even on cheap tests, if you're pregnant it shows.

I've been through fertility tx, I've done the OPK's then the cheapy 100 tests for £10. Realistically I think they're too thin for it to really show up. What I meant to say was, it was the cycle when I'd pretty much given up that I got the BFP. My gynae did say I needed to relax.

Update from me this morning:
So today I have a very faint line on a FRER, however if it weren't for the supposed reliability of these tests I would normally discount it as an evap as I only noticed it about 5 mins after doing the test. It does not really show up on camera as it is a real squinter but it is there. What would you guys make of this? I am on CD31 of normally about 35 and I am now 9 or 10 days past Ov based on OPKs.
I did a cheapie too which did seem to have something very faint on it but now I can't really make that out.
ive used FRER a few times over the last few cycles and never had this line I have now even when they have been left for 30 mins or more!
I think I would be 6 days before as per when it says you can test as I think it is 6 days before the day you are late.

A faint line is a line! I have attached a photo of my first BFP on a FRER if this helps?

Congratulations Thanks

I just went to the loo and tried and it just does not show up in the light - it is faint but did come up within the 10 mins they say is valid. i might get a digi at lunch - would it be too soon. I have googled like crazy and it seems some people do get a bfp on a digi at 9/10 dpo so it might be accurate? anyone got a positive early on a digi. with my first DS i go a late bfp but with my second DS i did test on a clearblue digi a few days early and got bfp 1-2 weeks.

When I was testing I tried a few cheapie tests on the Saturday that all had faint positives, tried FRER and got negative result, tried again on the Sunday with a FRER and got a faint positive so tried digi and was negative. Tried digi again on the Monday and got pregnant 1-2
