Advice pls - 8DPO faint line ?

[EmMdy]

Hello ladies, this is my first post. Have been TTC for 8 months since coming off of the pill, it's been a rollercoaster but my last cycle I had my first proper period which I was happy about as it means my body is getting back to normal!

Last night I stupidly decided to test very early at 7DPO, after looking at the test for only 30 seconds I threw it in the bin as I knew it was too early. I went back into the bin an hour later lol and I'm sure I can see a faint line?? The thing is I don't know when the line appeared. I'm due on AF tomorrow and so far no sign of it, but there's obviously a good possibility that it could be an evap line and I could just be a couple of days late and that's why I have no PMS/PMT symptoms ?

I have done about 15 of these brand of pregnancy tests over the past 6 months (One Step early detection) and even after looking after hours and days there's never been a line before.... honest opinions please!?

Please could somebody let me know how to upload a photo? I cannot see any paperclip or anything that I can click on to upload.... Thanks!

Hello I also use one step test strips and am currently getting faint lines that get darker over time. I get the same with one step OPKs, so must just be that the dye strengthens over time.

My understanding is that if the test line is coloured, then it's a positive. If it's grey, then it's likely an evaporation line. I'd keep testing daily with FMU on these one step test strips, seeing how cheap they are. If you see a progression over time then must be a good thing.

I'd meant to say: hopefully congratulations! I know how frustrating the TTC process can be

Hiya I'm 8dpo is it's possible to get a faint line

@AriadneO thank you so much for your detailed reply! I would love to post a photo of the result, any idea how I can do that? I'm new to this!

@AriadneO I meant to say congratulations and also how many DPO were you when they started to get darker? Thanks

You click on the paperclip button to attach a photo!

I'm not sure congratulations are in order just yet, as I'm having difficulty interpreting my own tests. I first tested on what the app said was 12 DPO and the one on 13 DPO did look a bit darker. I think one steps can be a bit unreliable like this, and I'd just keep testing daily and hopefully even if it's not darker day on day, there will be a trend towards darker as time passes. I hope it's a BFP for you!

@AriadneO please keep me posted. I don’t have a paperclip so can’t post photo, never mind! Wishing you the best to get an obvious BFP

@Shadea10 my test is different to yours so I can’t compare but I’d say the line is there but it’s not clear enough to see if it’s grey or a colour. I believe grey and white are evap lines. Keep us posted and good luck! I’m 8dpo too :)

On my iPad I have a little bit at the bottom that says choose file, that’s how I add. Might be easier on a computer?

Fingers crossed for you!

Ah yes good point il try on my iPad. There was nothing on the PC at work either...odd! Thank you

@Quiffy thank you
