It's so faint I can't tell if I'm imagining it!
2mths ago I withdrew from the fertility clinic at hospital as we had completely given up.

I can see it. I think it's fine for a few days late, you would expect a good line at a week late by which time the hcg would've doubled four times over what it is today. It's just because modern tests can give a line earlier that we've given up waiting to be a week late before testing.

Def a line 👍 congratulations!

MaryShelley1818 · 08/06/2020 05:55

Thank you everyone xx
Took two tests this morning (no idea why!) And I "think" it's a tiny bit darker??

My lines on those tests looked so faint, even when a frer showed a clear line. Those lines led to my DD, our miracle after 5 years, ivf and multiple miscarriages. It can happen....good luck!

IWillNotNameTheTree · 08/06/2020 06:30

You’ll get a much clearer line on FRER. My cheapies never got darker than that x

MaryShelley1818 · 08/06/2020 06:38

Thank you xx

The frer comes this afternoon so will try and hold out until tomorrow morning to test x

Definitely positive! Congratulations Smile

Szalinski · 08/06/2020 06:51

If you're 3-4 days late you can test at any time of day

Minkies13 · 08/06/2020 07:08

Mine never got darker than that with IC. Now 19 weeks. Congrats

AncientandPregnant · 08/06/2020 07:08

All positive. Take a digital. At this stage it will work at any time of day.

Orchidflower1 · 08/06/2020 07:13

Yep I think they are darker too🎉

Apolloanddaphne · 08/06/2020 07:16

That looks like a positive to me.

MaryShelley1818 · 08/06/2020 07:18

Will try the Frer when it arrives and order a digital too for good measure 😂😂
God bless Amazon!

@MaryShelley1818 I’m so excited for you! I’m nearly 42 and pregnant too.

MrsP2015 · 08/06/2020 07:22

I see lines too!

Massive congratulations Smile

Literaryseed · 08/06/2020 07:34

Congratulations OP! In my experience they are pretty clear lines for internet cheapies! Please update us with your FRER.

Definitely positive!

EverythingBlue2020 · 08/06/2020 07:45

Looks positive and a frer should be much clearer!

Badassmama · 08/06/2020 07:55

That’s definitely a line, I did about 4 tests before I fully believed it! Congratulations!!!

MaryShelley1818 · 08/06/2020 07:55

Thank you everyone, the support means a lot x
After a few miscarriages and a platonic marriage where children wasn't an option, I finally got together with DH (childhood sweetheart) at age 38, we had DS when I was 39 and married when I was 40 and have been ttc #2 for 18mths without any luck. Referred to fertility clinic and everything cancelled due to Covid so we decided to give up and move on. This would be an absolutely amazing thing for us x

Hopefully I can join that group at some point xx

Definitely lines I would say. I had IVF for both my children, one at aged 41 and despite tests from the clinic and shop brought done at different times there were never darker than that. Congratulations SmileSmile

pandafunfactory · 08/06/2020 08:14

Those tests are positive Grin
