This can't be a real line surely?

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 that has also made me feel much better! I really do feel like I am just the test this morning no darker really put doubt in my mind! Keeping everything crossed AF stays away for us all!
@Mich2020 I have had a headache for 4 days nearly all of the time, back ache, lots of cramps feeling in my tummy for a week, and also really sore armpits. Not breast (which I usually have by now when AF is about to arrive) I really do feel like I am! It's been 8 years since I was in this position last time so I really can't remember signs and symptoms from that long ago! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ xx

@Mich2020 I'm also very tired but I'm a teacher and first week back after the Xmas hols and 3 children could explain that, however I'm not usually this tired! I just want the next few days to hurry and go!! Xxx

gg321 · 09/01/2020 20:39

@Kendrick12 we really do have all the same things going on, my boobs aren’t sore just big up at the sides and constant headache, I feel we will have the same outcomes whatever than will be, look forward to hearing about all the morning tests! Fx to u

gg321 · 09/01/2020 20:40

Meant to say high up at the sides not big! I’m definitely not big in that department lol

Mich2020 · 09/01/2020 20:52

I caved and I did it. About an hour and half hold and after quite a few coffees! Tell me everyone sees that faint line and I'm not going mad? Xx

@Mich2020 Yes I see it!! I’d say that line not bad for evening Irvine and only an hour and a half hold and I know they always look darker in real life, hard to catch with camera

gg321 · 09/01/2020 21:03

That’s obviously meant to be urine not Irvine!

Kendrick12 · 09/01/2020 21:08

@Mich2020 I can see a second line!!! That's great. @gg321 I'm going to try and hold off testing for another couple of days if I can and if I have no AF by Sunday I'll try one then! Xxxx

Kendrick12 · 09/01/2020 21:09

@Mich2020 @gg321 keep me posted on your progress! :-) xxxx

Mich2020 · 09/01/2020 21:09

Ahh I'm going to get a frer tomorrow although they gave me so much false hope last month. But then the ics last month didn't show a thing xx

Mich2020 · 09/01/2020 21:11

Eeek not getting my hopes up. But that was about 3 mins after I dipped it so hopefully not an evap. Ahhh why is this so stressful lol 😂 thanks @Kendrick12 I really hope you get your bfp. Wouldn't it be great if we all did this month? Xx

I'd be cautious of indent lines, my last cycle I drove myself crazy with line eyes and indents... test with a FRER as the IC's have terrible indents xx

calimommy · 09/01/2020 22:14

@Mich2020 I'm sorry but I don't see any lines, I wish I did. Perhaps in a few days x

Mich2020 · 10/01/2020 06:34

Thanks people. I will go and get a better test today. It's date night tonight so I will have a few wines if my frer is negative xx

gg321 · 10/01/2020 07:00

Bfn on the frer this morning, so who knows, I’ll just wait now for a couple of days see if af shows up. Good luck for your FRER @Mich2020

Mich2020 · 10/01/2020 07:07

Oh I'm sorry to hear that @gg321 I will keep you posted xx

So I couldn't get a frer at Tesco. But got a Tesco one and I'm sure there's a second line after 2-3 minutes..

This can't be a real line surely?

This is the Tesco one now and just been out to get a frer?! Although I didn't hold my pee at all for the frer! So confused 😐

@Mich2020 Ahhh bet that’s because your wee wasn’t that concentrated? How long was your hold? My FRER was completely blank this morning so that’s confused the hell out of me. 🤯

Kendrick12 · 10/01/2020 14:03

Hi guys do you all count your dpo from the first day you get your positive OPK?? only I read online it takes 24-48 hours after positive OPK to actually ovulate so if that's the case I've been calculating dpo wrong! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ xxx

Mich2020 · 10/01/2020 14:05

The Tesco one was on about 2 hour hold maybe less. Literally went straight to the chemist and went about half hour after for the frer!! Xx

OP posts:
Mich2020 · 10/01/2020 14:05

I usually count from the day after peak/positive opk xx

OP posts:
Kendrick12 · 10/01/2020 14:38

@Mich2020 that looks like a definite positive to me on the Tesco one. Lots of colour in it too. How many DPO are you today?? Xxx
