Possible early bfp?

Hi ladies. I'm new. Looking for some advice, thought I would ask those of you who have been doing this a while, hpt experts lol. I came off the pill 3 weeks ago, i had a bleed which lasted 5 days. We started trying straight away. I didn't use opks because I don't want to end up obsessed I just want to relax and let it happen. I don't know if or when I ovulated but I've been feeling exhausted for 2 days, I had some TMI brown blood yesterday and this morning. Just a little bit. I have been constantly peeing today so I done a test and there appears to be some kind of line.... Very very very faint. It came up straight away as the dye went over it and it got lighter. So it seemed to pick up something. I've got a picture. I don't know if it will show up but I just wondered if it could be the start of a bfp? I've used these tests a couple of years ago and I don't remember ever seeing this. Any opinions would be helpful. Damn I can't add a picture....why can't I add a picture?

Do I need to post a certain number of times to be able to add a picture?

I forgot to say aswell I have been getting lower back pains and like sharp crampy pains in my lower stomach. I just have a really good feeling. I know it's very early and it's our first try after stopping the pill but I read you can ovulate within a couple of weeks after stopping and you can be really fertile. I'm hoping so. It would be absolutely amazing

Still can't add a picture grrr! Although last night I woke up absolutely bursting for a wee, looked at my clock and it was only half past 1! And that literally never ever happens to me. Once I'm asleep that's me, so that's weird. My backs still sore and I feel very bloated and achy all around my middle. Ordered tests, waiting for them to come today or tomorrow.

@Mumster09 tests are immediately invalid as soon as you open them as it causes them to react with the air and dry out and leave a line. Try again in a couple of days!

But the little thin one I done didn't have plastic on it? Hmm

Curiosity101 · 27/08/2020 14:54

@Mumster09 it's true that if you take a test apart it can invalidate it because it can cause them to look like they're positive when they aren't.

If it's an internet cheapie dip test that doesn't come in a case then that's not a problem as that's how it's meant to be used.

Having said that... I do see a second line on your picture and it does seem pink so it looks very promising. 🙂

Good luck, are you planning to retest tomorrow?

Stabal · 27/08/2020 15:36

@Mumster09 I'm confused.. Those 3 pictures look like tests that have a cover on them? What tests were they? They have the little holes that would have the plastic cover held in place..

The first test I done was a test strip, but I couldn't put that pic up because it wouldn't let me. I just got these tests in the post today. I didn't know not to open them. Sorry 😞

@Mumster09 don't worry, that's what us long term TTCers are for 😂 it is possible the brown spotting could also be ovulation in which case you're not completely out yet. But most times unfortunately it can take months for cycles to return to normal after the pill so it also could just be your body adjusting. I would wait a few more days and take another test and see if the line is darker and go from there! 🤞

I know it can take months, but I read it you can ovulate within 2 weeks, and I wouldn't of even tested if I wasn't feeling so weird. If I am I'm clearly very early, if the tests are very faint. I bought 25 of them so I'll be testing every day hoping it gets darker lol

This is today's..... At a guess I would say I'm super early and I started testing waaaaaaay too soon lol but I really have no idea what I'm doing. It's still really faint but this seems to be the darkest so far.... Yesterday's was barely there at all and I was so upset all day.

I think that looks good but you must stop snapping them open 😂 they are void once you do that. Use the IC if you want to have plain strip tests -they are just as good. Test again tomorrow and you should see a darker line 🤞

It's just so faint I can't get a good picture without opening it lol. I can't be the only woman to not be able to resist having a closer look 😂 sorry. It faded away after a while anyway, so I don't really know what to think. It looks negative now

OP posts:
calimommy · 29/08/2020 18:08

It might not have faded if you didn't open it though, the way the tests dry differ once they are opened.
