To say there is a faint line?!

Am I completely nuts or is there a super duper faint line on this test? Grin

Going to retest in a few days as I suspect too early to tell..

Honestly, the OP has said she's a first time poster and apologised - surely it's time to just let it go..

People get annoyed by lots of different things - that's not the OPs fault, I'd like to think she hasn't come here to deliberately wind those people up.

Honestly, why not just walk on by? Or gently nudge OP toward the right place to post.. or gently say to try and not get hopes up by the congratulations.. there's nicer ways to put things and I really don't think OP deserved some of the responses she got here...

I’m in the same boat! Is this bfp or evaporation line?

@didslysquiddlydoo genuinely didn't know how upset people got over these things. Definately didn't mean to wind anyone up Really have learnt my lesson! But at least its distracted me for a day! Thanks for replying Smile

So first time posters gravitate to Aibu, very suspicious maybe she should have looked in different forums there's plenty I can see them why can't she.

It's a calculated risk posting on AIBU so you take what it comes.

Some people seem to gravitate towards drama Grin

StripeyTopRedLips · 14/11/2019 16:46

No line visible to me.

Honestly though, a positive pregnancy test has a very clear and visible line even if it’s faint. Good rule of thumb: if you have to post on a forum to crowdsource opinions on whether there is a line or not, there isn’t. It’s negative.

And if you ovulated at a typical time (fourteen days before your period is due), or your HCG levels are high enough to delay your period, you’re pregnant enough to turn a test positive.

decbaby19 · 14/11/2019 16:48

Oh wow I actually can't believe this! I didn't actually say people were being nasty, I was polite and said they must be unhappy and angry people... but yes, nasty also works! And ignorant, rude, self-righteous... Wink

SquareAsABlock · 14/11/2019 16:49

I can't see the line in your OP either, @AmICrazyy. I hope my brand new glasses aren't failing me. Honestly though, if you yourself aren't sure, then a bunch of strangers telling you what you want (or dont want) to hear isn't going to give you a conclusive answer. Wait a day or two and try again, it's the only way I'm afraid.

SquareAsABlock · 14/11/2019 16:51

@chino123, that looks like an indent in the test, not a true positive line.

AmICrazyy · 14/11/2019 16:51

@HeresMe You are boring me to death, like a broken record. Again sorry, can't remove the thread wish I could. Shockingly I thought that if people had nothing nice/constructive to say they just don't bother. Clearly that's where my naivety shows. Won't be responding again in the hope this goes inactive.

Appreciate the comments about negative test as I said in my first few posts I know I've probably let my imagination get away with my and got a bit excited posted too quickly. Thanks all for the constructive feedback.

I see nothing. Good luck though x

HeresMe · 14/11/2019 16:55

Hope so why you need people to look at your tests is crazy just follow instructions.

whitershadeofpale · 14/11/2019 17:01

I think @littlehappyhippo is right. Nothing against the OP who is understandably hopeful and excited. It's other posters who may be coming across as kind and nice with their 'congratulations' and 'I see it' who are actually unbelievably cruel and nasty. It happens time and time again, there's clearly nothing there or at least nothing which could in any way be definitive-no matter how good your web device is, and yet people come on to give false hope, often leading people to think they may have had MMC and worry about conceiving in the future. It's those posters who should be ashamed of themselves.

Househunt1 · 14/11/2019 17:03

Omg!!! So what if someone hasn't posted int the right place, does it even matter??? The OP has posted for the first time, when I first ever posted on mumsnet (and it was about a faint line too) i couldn't navigate my way round the site or tell you what section I was posting on, I was just trying to find any possible way to post and was glad when it posted. Not everyone has ages to read rules of where to post, they may not even know there are rules on where to post? Why does it bother people so much?! God get a life. I once blindly posted about universal credits blunder and if it sounded accurate and got told to get a better paid job, helpful!

OP can you please tell me the result of the test again soon haha

Ilovethekitties · 14/11/2019 17:06

Eurgh, so many absolute Debbie Downer's on this thread! I have been on mumsnet only a few weeks and had no fucking clue what AIBU even meant until a few days ago Grin

You bitches need to calm down and give OP a break and if you're really THAT bothered (seriously, get a hobby and NO, this doesn't count as one) then report it so it can be moved.

Don't give the OP a hard time when she is clearly just come on here for opinions, which is WHAT THIS SITE IS FOR.

Eurgh

didslysquiddlydoo · 14/11/2019 17:07

@whitershadeofpale

I do agree that people shouldn't post congratulations etc on posts like these but I genuinely don't think they're meaning to be nasty. (I've experienced a miscarriage like so many others, but some people haven't and do have that naive approach to pregnancy)...

To be fair, I didn't actually see many people say congratulations to the OP...

People could be so much less confrontational in the way they address these things - some of the posts here just came across as nasty and completely unnecessary, meaning people end up arguing rather than actually being able to understand why a certain response might be unhelpful.

Ilovethekitties · 14/11/2019 17:08

@whitershadeofpale posters do so at their own risk and I'm sure OP getting the mixed messages of yes and nos means that she is prepared for it to go either way.

It's not for you to say why someone should or should not post and how people are to reply. It isn't cruel, I think you are just a bit sensitive.

OP, if it means anything, I can see a very faint second line.

StripeyTopRedLips · 14/11/2019 17:17

whitershadeofpale

I agree: I think even if posters suspect they might be able to see a line, surely anyone with a few brain cells can see it’s wholly jumping the gun and inappropriate to leap to a ‘congrats!’ message. I admit some of the congrats posts and flowers that pop up on these types of threads seem so tone deaf and inappropriate I do also wonder whether people are posting them in good faith.

Yoohoo16 · 14/11/2019 17:19

My recent pregnancy test looked like your first one (I can see a line) and done another one 4 days later and it was a very clear positive.
Ignore those being rude. There’s no need for it.

Babyg1995 · 14/11/2019 17:30

I really really don't like these threads they seem to be constant asking am I pregnant and can you see a line .
Yes I can see a very faint line but wouldn't go on that and think it's wrong posters saying congrats to the op based on this I have taken loads and loads of pregnancy tests over the years and are either positive or negative can't understand testing early either it's just torturing yourselfs wait untill periods late then test with a digital no confusion about lines with those and saves a fortune on having to test again and again.i hope you get your positive soon op Flowers

Countryescape · 14/11/2019 17:41

This thread is pathetic. Some of you trying to dictate whether other posters should say congratulations to the OP. Get a life! I said congratulations and I’ve had five miscarriages and 3 rounds of IVF which is all totally irrelevant. I hope Mumsnet turns some of you out.

CanuckBC · 14/11/2019 17:48

Damn, some of you need to pull your knickers out of your arse. Many people have posted POAS threads on AIBU and haven’t been given grief for it! It’s not against the rules, AIBU is a free for all really. No need to be a )&(9); about it.

I see a very faint line!

Have you tested again?

CollyWobbleMe · 14/11/2019 17:57

OP I've have done several ICSI cycles in the past and was always tempted to test early. My very early positive tests look a bit like your first picture so hope it's good news for you.

P.S. If anyone comes across a thread they find triggering for whatever reason, it's best to move on to another one rather than attack the OP Smile

astralweaks · 14/11/2019 17:58

No second line.

astralweaks · 14/11/2019 17:59

But I see no reason why people can’t ask the question. Confused
