Faint line help me!

I've been getting lines exactly like that for over a week now. Not getting any darker. On a few different brands. (There's two photos) But FRER comes negative and so does a CB so confused 😩 also did a blood test which came back "no further action"

Can anyone help or give any advice

Unfortunately the cheap tests are showing dodgy lines, I’ve got a pick of mine day before af came and I wasn’t pregnant... gutting 😭

Good luck with your journey and keep to the pricey tests 😊

@wannabemummy123 hi hun. I know what it's like to want to see a line so much but take it from someone who practically had a part time job of looking at squinters (🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️) when it's there you'll see it no matter what test you take. I had my BFP this month on an IC and it was definitely visible at 9dpo no squinting needed. I know it's hard but I'd wait till the day AF is due and use a FRER as by then you'll get a reliable result from such a sensitive test.

It's such an emotional journey and you can wear yourself out peeing on all these sticks desperate to see something. Sending you hugs and baby dust for your journey.

I've attached my IC so you can see when a faint line is still visible 💫💫

@wannabemummy123 also my apologies if you can see them on yours and I couldn't but deffo trust the FRER more as they very reliable.

Hi op, i can see very very faint lines. This happened to me last month and my lines remained faint for almost a week then returned to negative, so I think it was a chemical for me! I felt sad but also alittle relieved as i could move on to the next cycle after my bleed. I really hope this isn't the case for you, hoping the line goes dark! Just wanted to share my experience with you. Will keep my fingers crossed. X

Nicecupofcoco · 29/08/2019 20:56

Relieved because I'd spent a week comparing lines on tests driving myself mad, I mean.... Not that I wasn't pregnant! It was very frustrating and for that reason I was glad to move on from that cycle. Smile good luck op!

@PinkShake @itwasalovelydreamwhileitlasted @wwwork @Alicewond I would like to apologise to you alice because I majorly read your comment wrong... I thought it was saracastic but reading it over it wasn't and I really am sorry. Just so bloody stressed out with this whole situation !!

Also can I add to everyone else ... I'm still getting the faint bloody lines after 12 days now of getting them. They're still faint and proper squinters. I did the blood test because my doctor recommended it. But even he has now said maybe he sent me too early.
I also cannot say when il be "late" as I never know when my periods come. They've never been regular at all since I started periods 13 years ago! So it's so stressful actually knowing when a test should be good or not seeing as I don't even know when I would ovulate each month as each period time frame is always different!! So it's so hard.
I've got new symptoms now aswell. My veins in my legs arms and boobs look like my 7 year old drew on me with a blue felt tip pen! Headaches galore every other day. Cramps in my belly almost daily. And my belly just don't feel right if that makes sense.

Can anyone shed some light on this ?

Also il add my FMU always shows up negative tests. It's after 10pm tests that show my faint positives for some reason.

Something is obviously going one with you op, any confusion is forgiven. Have your gp run all blood and hormone tests?

ForGoodnessCake · 30/08/2019 10:23

@wannabemummy123

This is the really hard part, the not knowing, how long are you from your last period?
Your symptoms all sound very positive, but unfortunately they can be pretty similar for pms, not only that I believe that when ttc our brains go into over drive and we notice things that we wouldn't normally.
Personally I would call gp and tell him you are pulling + and if you can get booked for an internal scan and bloods, if they won't I would see about a private clinic.

Did you do ovulation tests? Because if you know when you ovulated then you would definitely have a positive test by 14 days post ovulation.
