This can't be a real line surely?

[Mich2020]

Hey, so this is my story. Had coil removed February 2019, had first period April time. Been ttc ever since. Had some Dodgy lines a few months ago. Last month December I had a positive frer a week before af was due. Had a couple more Faint lines throughout the week also some negatives. Had a gynaecologist appointment on the 19th , had internal scan etc etc not to do with pregnancy but my endo. He scanned my womb and everything so I know I wasn't pregnant well he never mentioned it. I was due period 20th, bang on time although after scan I was spotting so I think he brought it on a bit. Anyway very heavy bleed for half a day on the 20th and then spotting for 2 More days after that. Nothing like a real period at all. Ever since haven't really had any signs of ovulation or anything haven't tracked this month. Just dtd for 4 days in a row leading up to new year and then on the 3rd. Anyway tonight whilst sitting alone I thought I'd do a test.. don't know why and it was only an internet cheapie. But there's a faint line? If I ovulated when I should have (like the same as last month) this could only make me 6-8dpo maybe before I don't actually know this month at all. Photo is attached. Do you think that's possible or should I count this an an Evap or false positive? I will test again later after I've held for another couple hours. Any help would be great. I am not getting hopes up as wayyyy to early I think. It's a squinter but there and within a min or two xx

@gg321 yes I'd defo wait for the morning to use the frer. It's hard work ttc and very stressful. Keep me posted. I'm going to bed as shattered today. Do you have any symptoms? I literally have no sore boobs like normal after ovulation, I do have cramps, I am hungry all the time and shattered constantly. All positive things but according too apps still wayyyy off for period yet xx

I have loads of symptoms and I’ve convinced myself I am pregnant (but I have done that before, my mind fools me!) I’m tired, back ache, cramps, metallic taste in mouth, mood swingy, had a lot of unusual cm a few days ago (sorry tmi) due af sun/mon. Good luck for your next test!

It's actually letting me upload pictures! :-) these are my FRER tests from this afternoon what do you think? Very faint I know. Came up within the 3 minutes xxx

@Kendrick12 They look promising. And I’ve read your posts about having the faint lines on the strips. We’re around the same dpo, think I’ll be around 11 tomorrow and I’m going to be testing with a FRER for the first time, fed up with the squinters on the strips. Fx for you

@gg321 I'm keeping everything crossed going to test again in the morning with fmu and hope it will be slightly darker or do you think it's too soon after?? I'm really crappy tonight and due AF anytime between Friday and Sunday! I'm convinced this month is the month just trying really hard not to get my hopes up! 😫😫 xxx
I had faint lines like yours on one step strips before these today so keeping everything crossed for you. Let us know how you get on in the morning xx

If I were u I’d test again in the morning only as I’m so impatient, sure many others would tell u to wait, and if you can great but I know I couldn’t and if u can’t wait just do it and I’m sure with more time passed to build up hcg and fmu u should get a stronger line. Let’s see how we both get on in the morning!

@Kendrick12 Frer was a clear bfn this morning so atleast now I know. Fx for you

@Kendrick12 I can definitely see those lines. Have you tested again this morning?
@gg321 I'm sorry to hear that it was a bfn this morning. Hopefully you'll get your bfp in the next couple days xx

Bfn with the frer, white as white, not even a squinter, also did another one step strip this morning and got this happening again...Something there but just an indent/evap? Approx 11dpo

Guess what I’ve gone and done, picked my FRER from this morning out of the bin and I can see the squintiest of squinter lines shining light on it. I’d said to myself I was gonna leave it now and wait until af due/late but now I’ve gone all crazy again, I don’t even think I could get a photo of what I think I’m seeing it’s that faint, but anyway it’s out of time frame so not valid surely 🤔

I can defo see another line on that cheap test. I haven't tested again. I'm holding out for tomorrow morning now. Getting hair done this evening so should take my mind off of testing anyway.
Ahh I don't know any good advice on the frer though, maybe try again with fmu tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

Well done for not testing today @Mich2020. Having your hair done tonight will be a nice distraction for you x I was out of frers so I just went out to get more and I also got a couple of Superdrug own brand to try one with my fmu from this morning (saved some in a pot) and possibly another squinter. Now I’ll hold out for another frer with fmu in the morning

This is my frer squinter (or my imaginary squinted!)

And my Superdrug squinter, all 3...the strip, the frer and this Superdrug brand all from today’s fmu 🤯

I'd definitely say that your pregnant, there's no way all these tests would come back with lines if you aren't. Hoping they get darker for you soon xx

No way I can believe that yet, I guess the morning will tell me more. But the lines all appeared after the given times so don’t know what to make of that. Ahhhhh I don’t want to say anything to my husband until I know for sure, it’s not exactly planned so he’s in for a shock, although he should be thinking it’s a possibility if he’s ok with having unprotected sex!!! He would be delighted btw (and I would) after the initial shock!

@Mich2020 fx for your test tomorrow, enjoy having your hair done and try to relax!

So @gg321 @Mich2020 tested again this morning with my last FRER and the faintest of lines even more faint than the 2 the afternoon before so I’m really thinking I’m not now was so disheartened! Was expecting to see a darker lime this morning! 😫😫 also all day at work I’ve had awful period like cramps so I’m sure AF is going to arrive right on time this weekend! 😢😢😢 I still feel weird though still have back ache and still feel different I’m just so confused!! And feel like I’m going crazy!!!! Xxx

@gg321 I can definitely see lines on all of those tests!!!! Fx for you for tomorrow!!! Xxxx

@Kendrick12 a fainter line than day before could quite possibly mean just less dye in that particular test or your urine was more diluted. I’ve also had bad af type cramps, back ache and generally feeling odd. When will you next test?

@gg321 so the cramps seem to have gone and the strangest thing has happened way too much info here but I've had cramps all day like AF is just around the corner, I've gone to the toilet this evening and had a wee, just sitting there after and another big cramp and a feeling like somethings coming out (I've had this before with heavy periods when losing a small clot etc) I look in the toilet and hanging down is a massive stretch blob of CM literally enough for me to scoop with the toilet roll! Now my cramps seem to have gone! I can't remember ever experiencing CM like that before! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm so confused as my body is obviously doing something but I have no idea what! I've checked my test from this morning against my other 2 from yesterday and they are all about the same. I think I was just really disheartened when this mornings wasn't any darker as I almost presumed it would be! Xxxx

@gg321 when are you going to test again?? Xxx

Good luck for the morning @gg321 I'll be testing then too although I really want to test tonight but only one ic left 🙈
@Kendrick12 ah I've been really crampy today but not due on for another week or something yet according to my app. Although I have no idea what's going on this month as I didn't track ovulation xx

@Kendrick12 I had that same thing happen!! It was almost a week ago, like a really big stretchy blob of cm (sorry!) similar to ovulation ewcm but more intense to look at, i’d just gone to the loo, stood up and looked and wow! I had that with my other two pregnancies and it’s one of the biggest pointers to me thinking I’m pregnant again, Don’t want to get your hopes up but I’d be very optimistic about that.
@Mich2020 I’ll be testing again in the morning, good luck to you

Has anyone got any symptoms? I usually have sore boobs and nipples by now, I don't have them whatsoever, I have niggly cramps down low, and still starving and tired.xx
