I've been doing ICs for 2 days (alongside OPKs as I don't have a cycle so not a clue when I'd ovulate!)

anywho I've had insanely faint lines which I've put down to evaps. OPKs getting darker then just 5 minutes ago I got this on a hpt..

tell me it's not an evap?!

tell me it's real...?!

my frer was negative! I'm in disbelief and I'm sad.
it wasn't a long hold (just over an hour!) but I couldn't wait after I'd bought them lol.
there's not even a hint of a line. I don't understand because I've genuinely had multiple lines on the ICs

Sad sorry. Try again in the morning just in case. Did you get a two pack?

I got a two pack yes! I don't understand how they've all been so pink, they were all within the 10 minutes it says to look. 😔

Hi @Coconutty89 I don't want to get your hopes up but I found absolutely FRER terrible! I took one and it was completely stark white negative but I was so sure I was pregnant that I couldn't leave it - so I went to Poundland and bought a load of cheapies, got the faintest ever line and the next day was clearly positive (on the cheapie)! Good luck x

SendYouUpinFlames · 26/05/2018 20:10

That IC is definitley positive. Mine looked just like this and got darker over the week.

I never got a line on frer either. They NEVER worked for me Hmm

HidCat · 26/05/2018 20:13

@Coconutty89 I'm gutted that the FRER didn't give you a positive - can you resist and test on Monday?

@jellycrumble I have some pound shop tests actually but they're 25miu so I've been ignoring them. I hope you're right about FRER!

@sendyouupinflames I'll keep using the ICs and get some other tests on Tuesday!

@hidcat I'm working all day tomorrow so hopefully I can hold off! I genuinely can't believe it

I got an incredibly faint line on a cheapie, much fainter than yours. I got clearblue early response tests and got a positive that lunch time and again at the night time when my husband didn't believe me. I'd gone for a FRER but they had none. I was reassured with the clearblue that the bit you wee on was massive, probably just psychological haha. Not the one with the cross though I've heard terrible things about them. Good luck.

so I just looked at the box and it was a first response rapid results! not an early results? does that make a difference?!

OP posts:
Emma198 · 26/05/2018 20:49

Yeah, don't they only recommend from the day of your missed period?! Early response is up to six days before xx

Emma198 · 26/05/2018 20:50

Oh I got excited when I read that, I get so invested in these threads haha

Coconutty89 · 26/05/2018 20:52

I'm exactly the same Emma honestly I love it for other people but I'm so stressed hahaha

I googled and rapid results are apparently 50-100miu!!

OP posts:
Emma198 · 26/05/2018 20:54

Aren't the cheapies supposed to be 10?

Coconutty89 · 26/05/2018 20:59

yeah I think so

OP posts:
Emma198 · 26/05/2018 21:00

Oh I bet you're itching to get yourself out to a 24hr supermarket for an early response!!

SendYouUpinFlames · 26/05/2018 21:05

@coco do you have any IC left? Can't you use one of them?
Mine use to get darker on a evening for some reason.

Coconutty89 · 26/05/2018 21:08

Emma198 · 26/05/2018 21:09

It's such a nervous time isn't it. I actually lost my mind a little bit!

DBoo · 26/05/2018 21:09

Oh gosh im over invested in this thread. Shop. Now. Grin fwiw my recent bfp was about the same as the ic you have posted. Not done anymore tests but no af either so assuming its correct

Emma198 · 26/05/2018 21:13

@DBoo it's an emotional rollercoaster!!

BrutusMcDogface · 26/05/2018 21:13

thanks everyone! so glad I have everyone's support tbh! my hubbys read the full thread and it practically bouncing off the walls with excitement lol.

I've got a 2nd line on the IC again but it looks well off centre for some reason.
fully feel like having a meltdown right now hahaha

Emma198 · 26/05/2018 21:22

oooh my gaawwdd. I know they're cheap but surely they wouldn't consistently give a line unless you were pregnant? Can understand the odd one being rubbish but isn't that like 7?!
