I’m a maniac.... I know

[Marshmallow1992]

After a stressful cycle last month - four days late for AF and a late ovulation this cycle, I’m currently 8dpo. I know. Far too early to test. But as the title says, I’m a maniac 🤣. So after an emotional day of friend announcing her pregnancy (I’m happy for her) and becoming very emotional I decided to POAS. I know it’s far too early but I think I see a very faint line. I’m not sure if I’m just wanting to see it so wanted your opinions.

P.S. I know the test becomes invalid taking it apart but the window on the test was so tiny (it’s a cheap one) and I couldn’t see so I literally took this photo the second I removed the test from the case.

@Chanel05 Aw wow! Amazing! Your line is darker than mine but I’m only 10/11 dpo today! I’m not even sure to be honest but def either 10/11. I am going to try a digital on Wednesday and that’ll be me 12/13 dpo so should come up on that by then! I’m absolutely ecstatic for both of us. It’s been a long struggle but we got there!!

@Marshmallow1992 Awww!! Congratulations hun!!! Xxxx

Congratulations guys, wishing you all well. It’s lovely reading your excitement and I remember the flip in the tummy feeling when getting hat positive on a frer. Just the image of that there, brings back the feeling!

Congratulations to you both on your bfp's!

Thank you so much everyone your messages mean the world! I’m so excited!

@notsosureaboutthatthough @workinprogressmum ahh thanks very much ladies.

@Marshmallow1992 let us know when you've done the digital so you can finally read those words!

@chanel05 I don’t even know what’s happening now! I took another FRER this morning which was positive again and tonight after a 4/5 hour hold took a digital and it’s negative! I’m absolutely distraught and don’t know what’s going on 😥😥

Maybe you’re too early for the clear blue which is why it’s only showing on the FRER?

@comps83 I hope so. I’m around 11/12dpo so thought If I got a line on FRER yesterday then 24hours later should get +ve clear blue? I’m back to thinking the worst now xx

CB isn't as sensitive as the frer so don't worry! Maybe go to the docs to ease your mind :)

@Marshmallow1992 the frer is definitely a positive, when are you due af? Maybe try the digital again then?

I know I can’t believe it was negative! AF is due today/tomorrow so I’ll just need to hope and pray it doesn’t come and I can try it again. I just thought it would have def been positive by now. I’ve never had symptoms either and have really sore boobs and feel very light headed so I’m not sure what’s going on 😥.

We’re all here for you x

Clear Blue detects HCG at something like 50, FRER at something like 6.

It's perfectly possible to have an early positive for several days on a FRER before a CB would be likely to detect, if that helps.

As long as your FRER line isn't getting weaker, you're still okay x

@Marshmallow1992 Have everything crossed for you! I've heard a lot of bad things about CB and frer can detect much earlier. Maybe do another frer to put your mind at ease?

Thank you so much for your help ladies. I’ll get a FRER and do it in the morning and fingers crossed it’s stronger! The second one I did was the exact same strength as the one before but that was only about 14 hours of a difference, then the CB Digital I did this morning so just over 24 hours from the first FRER so I’m hoping the hormone just isn’t as strong yet to show. Xxx

@Marshmallow1992 hope you are able to have more clarity tomorrow. Fx for you that it darkens and hopefully it is the hormone developing.

So basically I’ve got the afternoon off work and on the way home got a FRER. The line is the exact same! I couldn’t go on like that another day I had to test. I took this test with only a two hour hold! So I’m hoping that’s why maybe the line is just the same as it’s not first morning urine?

@Marshmallow1992 There's definitely a positive there! I think your wee will probably have just been more dilute. Do another in the morning to check that it is getting darker :) congrats though! Don't worry, every woman will be different x

Wait until AF is late before using Clear Blue. They're not as sensitive as FRER's. You're getting +ve's without using FMU and that's a good sign. Keeping FX for you x

So as I’m not right in the head!! I took another FRER as I then had it in my head the tests were faulty 😳. So it’s def another faint positive. So my only option now is to wait and test with FMU tomorrow and hopefully there is a darker line! I will update you all tomorrow - absolutely a nervous wreck here as being 12dpo I would expect a darker line 😥😥 just need to pray now!

It's still a positive though! Don't panic! I tested with frer today and can't see anything, although the control line seemed a bit off (maybe I'm just trying to convince myself that lol) and not very clear.

Tried with a cheaper test and I can see a faint line again... Confused.com.

@Rosie2531 I know, I think because it’s the first time ever for me I don’t really understand/know what to expect!
How many dpo are you? I would say try and wait til AF is due but then I would be a complete hyprocrite as over the last two days I’ve taken like 5 tests 🤣🙈 good luck to you and I hope you get your BFP xxx

A girl I work with started to feel odd and sick all the time. She was ttc but multiple tests were negative and she only found out she was pregnant when she went to the doctors about feeling ill. She had her 9st 11 baby a few weeks ago!

Ha not stone!!!!!
