Faint line on test

[AnxiousandImpatient]

Hi Ladies,

Advice needed please. I'm 18 days PO... and 2-3 days late for AF. I had AF like cramps, slight spotting and back pains for about 4 days...

I have just done a FRER test, and there's a very faint line where the BFP is meant to appear, but I don't know if it's my eye sight or just the test, as I am trying to tell myself it's just the line underneath the test that's visible now I've waited after 3 minutes.

Is it worth doing another test? Has anyone else found that they've had a really faint line on these before? Me and my OH are due to fly for a mini break tomorrow morning at 6am, so not sure when next best to do one.

Thanks

Does the line appear as soon as you look at it do you need to stare for a few mins for it to "appear"? Hcg takes 48 hours to double so I would pack so tests with you and do it in a couple of days. Also I always got my first bfp in the afternoon not the morning 😊

Hi @MsChatterbox, the line appeared within the 3 mins of the FRER as per the instructions, and I did it again with a normal FR test about 10 mins ago, another faint line appeared after about 1 minute.

That's a good idea. I'm going to get a few different tests and pack them with me. Do you think it's worth trying once in the morning and once in afternoon tomorrow and Saturday?

Me and OH are so hoping for a BFP as the BFN have been very obvious throughout us trying the past 5 months.

Get some cheap tests then you can test at diff times in the day and not worry about wasting money. Do you have a savers or b&m near you? I really like the clear and simple tests. Gave me a bfp at 11dpo so they're pretty good and 99p for 2! I know the feeling this one took 6 months. Hopefully this is your month 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thank you. I've been out and purchased a few CB early this morning, but come home to quite heavy bleeding... so AF may be here or things may be a bit off... not sure why there would be a faint line if AF was still appearing.

Oh no hopefully it's not af 😭. I don't personally like frers as I've had some lines only for af to show but obviously could also be chemical! Hopefully it's nothing for you and bleeding stops 🤞🏻
