BFP or BFN?

Hi guys,
3 days until my predicted period - just taken a cheapie amazon strip test and swear I can see something - but am I going crazy?? Let me know if you see anything. Won’t be offended if you don’t - just looking for a second opinion. Have attached original and edited pics as I have obviously played around with them 🙈😂
Thanks in advance xx

Do you really think so @DippyAvocado @polkadotpixie ?? Could it be an evap????

How long after taking it was this photo taken?

10 mins for the first lot. Maybe 20 for the second post?

Thanks @ginmonkey84 I don’t quite believe it yet. I know they say any line is a line but I can’t get my hopes up - what if it’s an evap? I tested again this morning and it’s a REAL squinter - the kind that actually makes you think am I going mad!? Definitely fainter than the one I took last night. Why do I test early??!!

Here’s another pic. Top test is this morning, bottom is last nights. Thoughts please?

BFP or BFN?

I see it @BexCinnamon! I'd get a FRER ASAP, the difference between my squinty squinty cheapie and the FRER was huge.

Thank you @MamaPeas I’ll get one today but will test tomorrow as I’m busy tonight and if it did come back positive I’d want to stay home with OH - and if it’s negative it would put me in a bad mood all night 😂

I had lots of evap lines with amazon cheapies. A clear 2nd line maybe 10 mins later. But it wasn't there in the time frame they give you for checking (can't remember if it's 3 or 5 mins). Only appeared slightly after.

I think they say if it's grey/colourless then it's evap. If it's got a pink tinge it can only be BFP.

When I got my bfp with an internet cheapie (only 8 or 9 days past ovulation approx) the line was extremely light, hardly detectable at all, almost as if I was imagining it. But the difference was that it appeared within the time frame and stayed.

I then got an Early Response from the shops the same day and even though it was midday urine by that point urine a clear pink line emerged.

Good luck

quety · 21/09/2019 09:33

Yes, First Response not Early Response, sorry.

Thanks @quety for the advice. Do you think those lines look colourless like an evap?

quety · 21/09/2019 10:10

Very hard to tell from the pics OP.

I know my positive (very early) BFP with those hpts was hardly detectable, but it came up within the timeframe.

Have you got any more cheapies to do? Not every test will give you an evap line. If you're getting a line everytime then quite possibly a BFP I'd think.

MamaPeas · 21/09/2019 10:14

Do you know when you ovulated @BexCinnamon ?

BexCinnamon · 21/09/2019 11:45

@quety the lines have been consistent and in the last pic appear in the same spot, although I’ve been doubting myself because they’ve been so faint. I’ll buy a FRER soon!
@MamaPeas I think I am around 10DPO - although I didn’t have a positive OPK this month (I haven’t been able to test within the recommended window because of work) so just went by CM instead. I think we DTD on ov day or day before... and 3 days before. OH was tired 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 but I don’t know - I have had a positive feeling about this month even though we haven’t done it as much. No symptoms apart from (TMI sorry) gas and being a bit thirsty. Who knows!!

MamaPeas · 21/09/2019 12:26

My cheapies looked super faint like that at 10dpo. Fingers crossed you get a much clearer line with a FRER tomorrow. Let us know how you get on.

Morning guys! Thanks everyone for your comments and support. Tested on a FRER this morning and got this. Can’t quite believe it. Having been diagnosed with endometriosis in October last year and having had surgery in March I was given a 6 month time frame in which to conceive before seeking help at a fertility clinic. Cycle 3 and we get this ☺️ Can’t believe it. Will wait out until Tuesday (AF due) and take a digital to 100% confirm as I’m aware of chemical pregnancy. But I swear I just feel pregnant. Cannot believe it. Wishing those of you TTCing the best of luck - the hard work will pay off ☺️ @Ginmonkey84 @DippyAvocado @polkadotpixie @MamaPeas @quety @cookielove @Siobhan1989
