Faint bfp or frer indent?

[Moominmiss]

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?

@Moominmiss I say all this like I'm perfectly calm and taking each day as it comes, when In reality I'm constantly poas freaking out and googling stuff!!! X

@Moominmiss CB digitals are known for only really working on due date. So it would have been shocked if you had seen something. Take another FRER tomorrow then compare x

@AMS19 thank you so much. Seeing your lines 12 and 13dpo look the same gives me some hope that what I’m seeing is normal 🤞🏻
And that’s just it, I know a clear blue digital wouldn’t have shown anything. I mean the 20miu cheapie barely had a shadow on it so I don’t know what made me think doing a 25miu test would show anything. I would never have advised anyone else to take a digi so early so I don’t know why I caved 🤦🏼‍♀️

@AnxiousAnnie86 I know, I’m just like you, I can be all over other threads giving all this sound advice but here I am not following any of it!!!

Here’s to tomorrow and hopefully a decent line, and if not i will try not to panic and wait for 14dpo! Positivity from here on out!!!

Xx

@Moominmiss this is going to be it for you! And we can all be on the rollercoaster together! Talking each other off ledges 😂 and serious testing addictions

@Moominmiss after seeing no progression between 12 and 13 DPO I banned myself on 14 DPO from testing. And I am so glad because I really noticed a shift for 15DPO. Honestly, you have lovely lines, just give your body time to do its thing. Even if there is no progression tomorrow that doesn't mean anything. You need to experiment with times of day etc xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 @AMS19 freaking out.

Frer line is no darker this morning (13dpo), ic line is still barely there, like a blink and you’d miss it. My temp has dropped slightly and my rhr has gone down by one. None of these things are a good sign. I thought your temp was meant to spike up in pregnancy!

Attached a pic of the 11, 12 and 13dpo frers (I’ve picked the AM ones for consistency), today’s ic test, and my ff chart showing both temp and rhr have dropped 😔

I just know I’m heading for a chemical. If my hcg was rising then a 10miu cheapie test should be picking up a nice clear line, not just on the 6miu frer.

I think today's frer is a bit darker and if you compare it to two days ago it's much darker. Testing everyday is hard to see progression sometimes. I understand what you mean though about the IC but I think the frer is promising. Fingers crossed for you

@Tomcullenisahero thank you, I’ve been here way too many times with chemicals and fading or non progressing lines so I feel I know what’s coming.

By 12dpo previously I’ve had lovely dark lines on ic so to get barely a shadow at 13dpo tells me something isn’t right.

@Moominmiss that line is deffo darker, look at the first compared to the last, my progression was no better!! Xx

@AnxiousAnnie86 but look at the ic, barely a visible line at all. That’s only a 10miu test, it should by now be able to pick up a better line of my hcg was going in the right direction 🤷🏼‍♀️

Like pp said, it is darker. I know you don't want to get your hopes up but all hope isn't lost yet

@Moominmiss don't panic just yet!!
Your temp is still well above the cover line & In my experience the cheap sticks didn't get ever get dark lines!!
I don't rate them at all.
The lines are getting darker, although don't read too much into that either because depending on the batch they vary!
I'm a serial tester myself but really the best thing to go now is relax as much as you can & just wait it out a little.
Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

You can't really compare DPO as this one may have just taken an extra day or two to implant. It's not just about when you ovulate.

My first pregnancy BFP came up before I was due AF by quite a few days. My next two (including current, successful) came up later in my cycle, I had given up hope.

The wait and see is awful, just want to say that a fainter line compared to previous pregnancies based on DPO is not indicative of anything.

Good luck @Moominmiss

@Moominmiss

Your line today is definitely darker! I would even go to far as to say quite noticeable darker.

Also....this is my temp chart. Look what happened to my temp on 12DPO. I assumed I must be out at this point even though I had a BFP cause my fell off a cliff. But I wasn't and jumped back up the next day.

Honeslty I totally understand the need to protect yourself. I get that. And that is okay. But everything you're showing me doesn't indicate you're are having a CP. Your lines are darker and your temp hasn't moved that much. Likely just impacted by more oestrogen (implantation dip) or if you temp orally, normal movements, worse sleep, colder in your room etc

Xx

@Moominmiss the difference between 11DPO and 13DPO is HUGE!!!

@Moominmiss my RHR also dip on 12DPO when I got the temp dip and has stayed lower since

@AMS19 I agree! Lines are doubling from two days ago to today! Also the cheapies don't stress I still test everyday and mine fluctuate so much even now! Some have more dye then others don't rely on them! Try another this morn as I said smu tests are always stronger for me...: regards temp, don't stress about that, mine goes all over up and down xxxx

@AlexisIsMySpiritAnimal thank you, I’m trying not to lose hope I really am, but with every positive thought, a negative one creeps in. By my longest (known to me) lp my af would be due tomorrow so if a week on from tomorrow I’ve still not got af, and I’m still having positive tests, then I might start allowing myself to believe things will be ok. But wow, 8 days sure seems like a lifetime away right now!

@violetclouds if I’d only tested with frer I doubt I’d be panicking right now. It’s the ic that are throwing me for sure.
This is the first time I’ve used these particular one step tests, these ones have hcg written on the blue bit, whereas the ones I’ve used in past pregnancies were a thinner strip and the blue bit was blank, no writing. Trying to tell myself they’re just different tests. But in my heart I know that they’re still 10miu so should be picking something up if it was there.

I think I’ve used 9 frers now, that’s only in the last few days. This is going to cost me a small fortune 🙈

@User43210 I know you’re right, but if my first absolute squinter was at 10dpo that that suggests I had to have implanted around 8dpo, possibly 9 at a push. So if you assume 9 then I’d still be 4 days past implantation right now so enough you’d think to be showing on a variety of tests by now.

The wait and see really is horrendous. I just feel like hibernating until next week. Ignorance is bliss and all that!

Thank you all for your positivity and encouragement 🤞🏻

@Moominmiss I can promise you the one steps are not 10! I was still getting a faint line on them past AF!! Your line is progressing that's the thing to take from this! And it really is progressing! My one step today was much fainter then two days ago and I'm 2 and a half weeks past Af! Do not trust them, do an ovulation test now, see if that's darker, mine got to positive, but have since gone back negative so don't let that worry you if it isn't! Xx

Honestly @Moominmiss look at everything I've said this morning. And everything else has said. Take a deep breath, have a cup of tea, and know that whether you end up with a CP or not, you are not currently having one xx

@Moominmiss what @AMS19 said!!!! Also look at your progression again! There is no denying that! X

Your 13 dpo is definitely much much darker. X

@Moominmiss I sent all my messages before your reply so you might have missed them xxx

@AMS19 your chart does make me feel a little more hopeful so thank you.

On looking at the frer test now I can see it’s darker (although it’s now nearly 2 hours since I took it), I just wish I could get a decent line on another test for reassurance that it’s not just the super sensitive frers picking up minimal hcg.

My temps won’t be affected by external things as I wear OvuSense internally overnight and one of the things that made me choose that over regular vaginal or oral temping was that it leaves no room for inconsistencies caused by night waking, colder/warmer room etc. I’m trying to cling onto the fact that it’s still above the cover line and by this time last cycle it had dropped to cover line ready for af the next day.

It’s definitely about protecting myself!!

@AnxiousAnnie86 will really try and not stress over the ic tests. I only have 1 frer left. Thought I had 2. Not sure whether to do it later tonight or save it for tomorrow or try and hold out and do it Friday instead. Or just go buy another pack of 2 🤦🏼‍♀️

I will definitely be doing more cheapies throughout the day in the hope of seeing more than a shadow! So will update on those as I do them. I will do an ovulation test too, see if that’s showing darker yet.

When should I test? It’s only been 2 hours since I last went. Hold it for a bit longer?

Thank you all so much, I’d have gone insane these few days without you guys talking me down xx
