FRER - evap or faint pos?

Hi all,

I have taken about 5 FRER tests today and yesterday. Each one has had either a very faint pink line or a faint pink line which is still a lot fainter than the control line. A couple of them have been more obvious/noticeable than the others.

I genuinely don’t know how to tell the difference between an indent line/evaporation line and a genuine faint positive.

I tested first yesterday which was the day my period was due. I then tested again today, one day after my period should have arrived.

All the lines have arrived within the three minute window. None of these results have come up after the three minutes advised.

Can somebody who is more well-researched advise me on how I can tell the difference between an indent/evap line and a genuine faint positive?

I ovulated on day 16 of my cycle. Period pretty much 99% of the is due on day 28/29. Today is day 30 of my cycle.

Many thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

My husband and I have been TTC#1 for almost a year now but been actively trying since August 2020.

I am so desperate for a baby that I’m worried I’m starting to imagine things. My husband, who is more level-headed and less emotionally driven than I am, is also adamant he can see faint pink lines.

I have also done two Clearblue early result tests and I believe both of those had faint blue lines on too - they seemed clearer and more distinctively positive than the FRER tests. But it’s the FRER tests which have removed any hope or confidence that I am actually pregnant because I’m doubting whether they are positive or just indent/evap lines.

Please help Confused x

If you have had a line of all of these tests then you are pregnant. Don't keep wasting your money on tests, you wouldn't get an indent line on all of those.

Congratulations 🙂

So you've done 5 FRER and 2 CB and all 7 have had a line? (Albeit a faint one?).
Sounds like you're pregnant to me, you wouldn't be so unlucky to get 7 evap lines.

@lockdownbabyx @Magnum99 when you say it like that, I sound absolutely crazy 😂 But I just really didn’t want to get my hopes up because I had a negative on a Clearblue digital.

And because I seemingly have no symptoms, it feels hard to believe. As we’ve been contraception free for 11 months and avidly trying for about 5 now, I just never thought it would happen.

I will try to stop fretting and worrying now.

Thanks for the reassurance though!

@CG21 everyone who are ttc eventually end up going crazy so I wouldn't worry haha.
Digitals are not as sensitive as other tests. I got a BFN on a digital on Tuesday, but I had a faint positive with an FR. Finally got my positive on a digital today at 13dpo and my tests are getting darker each day ☺️

That’s amazing and so lovely to see.

Congratulations and best of luck! I hope it remains positive for both of us @lockdownbabyx
