Faint bfp or frer indent?

11dpo. Not fmu.

Came up within time frame. Vvv faint line. Am aware of the notorious indents frer can give so very reluctant to think anything of it yet.

One pic unedited, other has contrast up slightly.

Thoughts?

@AMS19 yes I am, thank you very much! Congratulations to you too!! How far along are you? X

AMS19 · 10/11/2020 15:45

@AnxiousAnnie86 amazing! Today is my period due on date. I'm 15DPO. Based on last period 3weeks 6days, so VERY early! How about you?

AnxiousAnnie86 · 10/11/2020 15:53

@AMS19
8+3 from lmp, but 6+1 I think going off when I think I ovulated! How are you feeling? X

AMS19 · 10/11/2020 15:58

Ahh so exciting! The nausea has been pretty bad for about a week - but I couldn't even take the normal pill as it made me sick from the hormones so not surprised at all. Dread to think how bad I'll be in a couple of weeks. But all worth it. How you getting on? X

AnxiousAnnie86 · 10/11/2020 16:00

@AMS19 panicking! I'm so afraid of another Mc I'm honestly not sure I could do it again.... well I could, cos I wouldn't have a choice. But you know what I mean. I'm worrying that my sickness is barely there, I should be great full I know but with my daughter I was in hospital with HG and when I had the Mc I had no sickness x

AMS19 · 10/11/2020 16:41

@AnxiousAnnie86 I jsut read through the whole thread ❤ I cannot even begin to imagine! Im terrified of something happening. Trying really hard not to think too far ahead. My next goal in to get to 5 weeks, which will be next Wednesday. That feels like a lifetime away, 8 days!
I've ordered 20 HCG strips from amazon to do every 2 days.

Oh I have absolutely everything crossed for you and @Moominmiss you both deserve this happy ending and your little rainbow babies. And what perfect timing too xx

AnxiousAnnie86 · 10/11/2020 16:46

@AMS19 I've had 3 + on digital and this was my one step this morning, so I'm just hoping it's progressing as normal! The control lines gone darker now then the testline. I've been testing every day, but it has looked like this for two days now... maybe it won't go darker 🤔

@AnxiousAnnie86 they are great lines!! Really lovely! And yes...I assume it gets to a point when it is as dark as it can go, then it because about sustaining the dark line! All is looking beautiful 😍 ❤

AnxiousAnnie86 · 10/11/2020 16:59

@Moominmiss how you doing? How many more times you tested 🤪

Moominmiss · 10/11/2020 17:18

@AnxiousAnnie86 oh my goodness! Your pup 😍 he’s adorable!! What a great distraction from all the ttc stress!

Oh and your test from this morning looks amazing. I’m pretty sure you won’t see it go any darker than that, I’m betting that’s as good as it gets! I am hoping and praying I will eventually get to see a lovely line like that!

I’ve not tested again yet, trying to hold it until I can test again later on with more cheapies. Only problem is that I’ve had a major thirst on this afternoon and have probably drank close to 3 pints of water 😂

@AMS19 thank you so much for your positivity, it really means so much and honestly it’s helped me get through today without going (too) crazy!

I really hope to be able to give a positive update tomorrow ❤️ Xx

@Moominmiss super excited to hear your positive update tomorrow ❤❤❤

AnxiousAnnie86 · 10/11/2020 17:52

@Moominmiss I'm crazy crazy thirsty allllll the time! Have been since 4 weeks! X

Moominmiss · 10/11/2020 18:29

So I just stupidly did the clear blue digital that was burning a hole in my drawer and it was not pregnant 😔
Then did a frer and it’s no different to this morning.

I’m trying to tell myself that my hcg must just be too low, but in my heart I really do feel this isn’t going to end well.

If I first had a faint frer yesterday, surely it would be darker by now. I just honestly can’t see how between now and tomorrow morning so let’s say another 12 hours, a frer will be darker. Surely with a healthy pregnancy my hcg would have been increasing over the course of today?! Just don’t see how 12 hours over night will give any better results than the 12 hours today between taking the 2 frers 🤷🏼‍♀️

Feeling a bit bummed out now.

AnxiousAnnie86 · 10/11/2020 18:36

@Moominmiss fmu is much more concentrated then during the day, also hcg doubles every 48 hours, so early on I had no difference on a day to day basis it would take a couple, also the day after I got my bfp my test was actually lighter! I was sure I was loosing it, let me find pic xx you aren't even due af yet so getting a positive on a digital later in the day is unlikely xxx

AnxiousAnnie86 · 10/11/2020 18:41

@Moominmiss the bottom one was 15dpo and the top one was 14dpo x

@AnxiousAnnie86 thank you for the pep talk. It means a lot.

I know logically everything you’re saying is true, it’s just really hard to relax after so many losses.

I will of course test again in the morning with a frer and ic. And I’ve now ordered 2 more clear blue digital tests to hopefully be able to do in a few days, if not they’ll keep!

Xx

Moominmiss · 10/11/2020 18:43

And thank you for sharing the pic. I’d have been like you and panicked over the slightly lighter test, but right now I’d give anything for a line that dark! Xx

OP posts:
AnxiousAnnie86 · 10/11/2020 18:43

@Moominmiss don't give up hope, you 💯 have lines on those tests! There is no way mine would of looked any diff at the point you are, the line on the one step was faint for me at 14dpo so two or three days before that I'm not even sure it would of shown x

AnxiousAnnie86 · 10/11/2020 18:45

@Moominmiss my tests for some reason are always stronger second morning urine, so I have my first wee when I get up, then don't drink anything and test an hour or two later and that's when my lines are strongest! Much stronger then fmu! X

Moominmiss · 10/11/2020 18:57

I’m really trying to stay positive. I always had stronger darker years later in the day with my previous pregnancies.

But I just looked back at the photos from my bfp (the one I mc at 9 weeks), and I got a positive at 12dpo with a pretty clear pink line on an ic in the morning, then a much darker one by that evening then a very clear dark frer the next day at 13dpo.

Then at 18dpo I tested 2-3 weeks on a clear blue digital, then 5 days after that got my 3+.

So I can’t help compare those 12dpo tests to today’s 12dpo ones and the fact they aren’t getting darker throughout the course of the day like my last ones did.

Moominmiss · 10/11/2020 18:58

These were from last November at 12dpo. Lighter one was the morning, darker one from the same evening

Then this was my 13dpo frer. I can’t see my frer from today turning this dark by tomorrow!

@Moominmiss it might not go that dark tomorrow, you could of implanted at different times, your ovulation might be out by a day either way! Honestly you 💯 have lines on those tests and you aren't bleeding so you are currently pregnant! Just try to be calm, I keep telling myself no amount of worry is going to change the inevitable so just take today for what it is! Super super exciting!!! X

Moominmiss · 10/11/2020 19:12

God this is definitely the part of ttc that I hate....the worry.

I am trying to tell myself that each pregnancy is different and again everything you’ve said about implanting later etc is all so true. I need to step away from google and try to stay calm unless I have reason not to be!

Thank you once again @AnxiousAnnie86 ☺️

AMS19 · 10/11/2020 19:19

@Moominmiss do not panic. And here is why. These are my 12dpo and 13 dpo pics. ZERO progression!! Nada!

Then 15DPO...HUGE DIFFERENCE!!

Honestly lovely you don't know when you implanted and it is totally normal for HCG not to jump in hours...
