Line? Evap? Chemical?

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Maybe I've had a bug but I've been feeling so off and have somehow convinced myself that I'm pregnant...even though on paper the dates are unlikely. DH aren't trying for DC2 but used the withdrawal "method" earlier in the month (yes I know..). Didn't think too much of it as I thought it was at least 5 days until ovulation but then started to get a strong sense something was going on this past week.

Tested earlier in the week at what I thought was about 10dpo (I don't know for sure when I ovulated). BFN but with a line that made me question whether frer's have an indent. Tested again today at 14dpo and have this. It came up in less than 3 mins but honestly is barely there. Dh says he can't see anything. I am not even sure if there is anything there. I drew lines on to try to show him where to look but he still says he can't see it.

By 14dpo with my DS I had the clearest pink line. I'm now assuming it's either in my head or some kind of chemical might be happening. Guess I'll just have to wait until AF arrives but feeling worried. Any thoughts?

Line? Evap? Chemical?

I can see a very faint line. If it came up within the window, it’s probably a good sign. Probably my best to wait for your period to be sure. There’s every chance you could have ovulated a bit later than you did when you conceived DS. Xx

Thanks for looking @Clove76. It definitely was in time but didn't look very pink. The test on Tuesday also had a bit of a shadow so I was wondering if these tests just have indents(?) or whether it may become a chemical if the lines are super squinters which aren't getting darker?

I’m not sure having never used a frer whether they have indents normally, but a lot of people on here seem to favour them, so hopefully it’s not the case.
Maybe try testing at the same time everyday over the next few days - probably first thing in the morning for best results, and see if the line does darken slightly. I would think avoid comparing any tests from different times of day as you might get a blank test if you test using very diluted urine. Wishing you the best of luck!!

I can't see any line. With these tests I've always they give a clear positive or negative result. Very easy to read.

I see the line but I can’t see colour to it x

I can't really see it tbh. Although my last pregnancy the line was sooo feint and it came up well after the time. It also didn't get any darker all week. So I bought a digital and it came up pregnant.

Yes there wasn't really any colour but it was definitely in the time frame so don't think it's an evap. I hadn't noticed indents on frers before but maybe they do have them. I guess all I can do is wait 😬

I think the frers I had must have had quite an indent or evap line. I never had this when using them in the past. Af came just one day later than normal. Not sure why I was feeling so off. Maybe it was a bug 🤷‍♀️.

Perhaps an indent line x
