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

I have no idea.. I didn't track anything this month, I'm cd22 my cycles vary 28-32 days so still very early. But I didn't have a proper period last month. I had an internal scan for endometriosis and he made me bleed right when I was due for af only for a day then spotted for 2-3 days but nothing like my real period xx

@Mich2020 are you going to test again with a frer after a longer hold?

calimommy · 10/01/2020 15:46

I swear by frer, they are the best imo. Buy a frer but keep it for the morning. Go enjoy your night and have a few wines. X

gg321 · 10/01/2020 16:02

@calimommy frer bfn at 12dpo, too late now? should be showing on that by now? Well I had a really faint one yesterday but nothing today 🤔

calimommy · 10/01/2020 16:39

@gg321 all bets are off until AF really. Once I didn't get a + on a frer until the day af was due. Normally I'll get a + 5 or so days ahead of af. That time I had a few very faint positives and then some negatives so I was v u sure what to think. Wait and see what happens.

Hi Op, I got my bfp on these tests so reliable in my experience!

I tested 2 days before period, negative. Tested day of missed period and got my bfp. (Dd is 2 now)

Have my fingers crossed for you, just keep testing every morning :)

Pic is day of missed period, I believe 14 dpo

I think the FRER would of picked it up by now and the Tesco home band notorious for this, personally I don't trust blue dye test Confused I would say based on your FRER rest, it's negative Confused big hugs OP

ilikegiraffes · 10/01/2020 18:41

I'd retest using a FRER with first morning urine. The hcg should be more concentrated and should give you a much clearer idea. Fingers crossed op!

gg321 · 10/01/2020 20:06

@parisse I’d say positive!

calimommy · 10/01/2020 21:17

@parisse when was the photo taken? Was the test fresh? If so then it is positive, but if it was dry or had been done a while ago then no.

Mich2020 · 11/01/2020 09:01

Frer this morning bfn 😩😩

@Mich2020 that’s so strange as the Tesco one looks positive. Sorry for u. I’ve resisted testing this mourning first morning since about 6dpo! Af due tomorrow or Monday

Mich2020 · 11/01/2020 09:56

My head is a mess I don't know what to think. Good luck for when you test again.xx

Hey @Mich2020 you're in the same space I was 2 weeks ago. I'd had the worst indents on FRER, same on IC's and I had different symptoms to previous cycles... I was convinced it was my month and I really got my hopes up. It's such a tough part when you're coming to the end of the TWW and I spent hours upon hours googling how late people got their BFP and other random scenarios. Be kind to yourself, you're not out until AF arrives xx

calimommy · 11/01/2020 15:37

@Mich2020 sorry my dear, now a waiting game to see if AF arrives. Fingers crossed it doesn't x

gg321 · 12/01/2020 08:59

@Mich2020 @Kendrick12 how are you both doing? Have you tested again? This is my 2nd morning of NOT testing, af due today/tomorrow

Mich2020 · 12/01/2020 09:58

Morning. I've used the other Tesco one this morning. And it's negative. The one the other day was so clear too. Very strange. Good luck for when you do 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@gg321 I tested last night with a one step IC and thought there was a really faint line, tested again this morning with the same brand and absolutely nothing! I was due on Friday, so I’m pretty sure there would be a faint line by now if it was my month so I’m just waiting for AF to start now! 😩😩😩 xxx

Mich2020 · 12/01/2020 11:17

This is my Tesco one from this morning. Although there's a faint line now, but it's after the time frame so can't count it.xx

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

calimommy · 12/01/2020 16:04

@Mich2020 when is AF due?

gg321 · 12/01/2020 16:28

@Kendrick12 testing again either later tonight or the morning, but I feel af will arrive (due today) very soon so expectations aren’t high

Mich2020 · 12/01/2020 16:35

@calimommy not sure, end of this week going by dates. Not sure when I ovulated though, didn't track it this month x

calimommy · 12/01/2020 17:27

@Mich2020 end of the week is still 5ish days away. Could just be very early for testing. X
