Is it positive?? Please help

[Laur13]

Hi I’m 13dpo and I think I see a very faint line on an internet cheap test. Please could anyone tell me if they see it too? I don’t know how to use my camera/filters to make it stand out more but this is the best I could get.
My last pregnancy (5 years ago) I didn’t get a positive until 15dpo.
Thanks in advance! Going a bit crazy over here 😬

I can see a shadow - does it have colour?

I can see a line

Thanks so much for replying!
No colour that I can see maybe purple blue slightly? I’ve just checked it again and I can barely see the line now 😔
Feeling very heavy in my tummy today too so thinking maybe too good to be true?

It’s so so faint. It’s been about 2 hours now since I took it is it normal for it to get fainter?

I can definitely see a line. But like I said 2 hours later it’s almost gone! 😫

It looks like mine did on ICs with my early positives. I know it's annoying but if you can wait two days and get a FRER you will have a clearer idea.

@zippityzip thank you!
Did yours disappear? I’ve got cramping today and I’m just so confused 😣

When it dried it was fainter. I give the advice to wait but I was doing cheapies every day and squinting at them all. Until I got a FRER and it was clear as day 😂

Usually an ovulation test would show positive at this point if you're pregnant. If you have any of those lying around!

Cramping and feeling like you're coming on your period is also common. They are the same symptoms which is a killer as there's no way of knowing which. How many days until your period is due?

I think it's a BFP.

@zippityzip I’ll try an ov test thank you! Getting quite sharp cramps ahh this is a killer! So confusing and frustrating. Congratulations on your positive! Will have to wait until Thursday won’t I!
My period is due on Thursday. Thanks again so much for your reply xx

@PurplePansy05 thanks for your reply! Hope so! X

Post a pic of the OV test!

Ok I will do! 😊

FWIW to the left is what mine looked like 2 days before period due and then a week and a half later, also only cheap pregnancy tests!

I found my early cheapies when positive dried more darker not lighter x

@zippityzip ovulation test. Definitely a negative 😔
Congratulations @PurplePansy05!! ❤️

OPKs aren't always reliable, they pick up on luteine not HCG.

OP, I still think it's positive mainly because BFNs look grey on inverted photos whereas BFPs light up in orange like yours. I would test again in 2 days' time. Thanks for the congratulations.

@PurplePansy05 oh really do they! I have no idea about most of this stuff.
I will update in a few days. Thanks so much x

Well yes, their purpose is to tell you when you ovulate and that's linked to increases in luteine and estrogen.

You would have barely any HCG in your system if you're not pregnant.

@PurplePansy05 no sorry I meant about the inverted photo I didn’t know it showed up in different colours. I only discovered it today. Knew about the ovulation test though just thought I’d try it 😊
Thanks for your help x

Oh sorry lol, I thought you meant the hormones!! Sorry, 100% baby brain right now 🙈

Ha it’s ok! I’m afraid baby brain never goes away 🙈🤣

I think that's a very faint positive and I'm normally v sceptical about ICs. If you test with a FRER today you'll know, you don't need to wait at this stage.

@DressingGownofDoom thanks for your reply! Is it normal for the line to disappear? Is a FRER a first response? I’m unable to get to the shop today to get one so it’ll have to wait until tomorrow and the anxiety is killing me!
