Faint line or evap or nothing? 11DPO

[dreamerkr]

Hey guys, so I swore to myself that this month I wouldn’t be crazy like this but it clearly didn’t work. I deleted Clue and Flo off my phone because they were a headache. TTC is so stressful. I’ve been trying for over a year, around a year and a half I guess. I’ve had a mc and two chemicals. This month we weren’t trying, but I tested this morning on 11DPO and I swear I can see the faintest, faintest line. I took two FRERs and got the same faintest line. Can you guys see anything or am I going crazy again?

Hi, I can definitely see something very faintly! Try again tomorrow. I'm around 9/10 DPO and I've ordered some FRERS coming tomorrow. Good luck I hope it's progresses for you x

I can see something, try again tomorrow morning!

Thank you! Yes, I’m definitely gonna try again tomorrow morning using FMU. I can definitely see something but I don’t want to get my hopes up too much! I do this every month, promising myself I won’t test early and I always cave in.

So I tested just now and it’s not darker at all. It’s still super super faint like you can barely see it, so I don’t have any hope now. How are you guys getting along? x

May be you need to use fmu? The hormones might not be strong enough to pick up yet. I had my first ever positive line yesterday.. it was pretty faint though so gonna test again tomorrow morning but I'll be gutted if the lines still faint it not there 😬 here's my test from yesterday at about 12dpo.. xxx

I’d say that’s a strong line for 12dpo! Mine is much fainter than that at 12dpo today. 😔 did you test today?

@dreamerkr hopefully yours gets darker it can take a few days to double and show darker though.🤞🏻

Mines been super faint/a shadow for a week now and no idea what's going on 🤷‍♀️

@firsttimemummy321 I hope so, and I hope yours gets darker too! How many dpo are you today?

Congratulations That looks a positive to me! Exciting I hope all progresses well for you x

Best of luck ladies. I am around 10/11 DPO and out of curiosity with no symptoms at all just decided to use a opk as I don't have a FRER coming until later .. I have two lines..I can't imagine I am pregnant as I have zero symptoms other than a weird cold I've developed. Here it is anyway! Who knows what's going on with me but I'd be over the moon if I was pregnant x

@dreamerkr 🤞🏻 mine are super faint shadows tbh but are there at 3 mins so shouldn't be an evap and been on 3 brands as well. Been like this for a week am 15dpo today

@FayLivvie 🤞🏻 it can pick up pregnancy something to do with the protein similarity but you can also surge before af but 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@firsttimemummy321 the line isn’t getting lighter? Did you test using a different brand? X

@FayLivvie OPKa can pick up pregnancy, so you should try with a FRER! Fingers crossed for you 😊

@dreamerkr no it's got darker but I'm talking from a torch squinter to a visible without torch but still a shadow/squinter but I'm sure it should be so much stronger now! Been on frer one step and easy@home but I'm thinking it's cruel indents maybe, can't be evap as there at 3 mins

Photo of a variety of shadows these are all the last 2 days

Have you tried in the evening on a min 4 hour hold and little drinking? Mine were always stronger at night with my first

@firsttimemummy321 I can see all of those lines, perhaps you ovulated later than you thought you did, that’s why the lines are still faint? I have my fingers crossed for you! These don’t look like evap lines to me! Is your period late?

I might test again in the evening after a 4-5 hour hold, let’s see how that goes. I’m not too hopeful though. My boobs were so sore over the last few days, they still are sore but only very slightly. :(

@dreamerkr 🤞🏻 symptoms this early can come and go so try not to worry the hcg level is so low still so wouldn't cause much so 🤞🏻

Thank you, nice to hear others can see them my husband thinks I'm crazy 😂
I bled from 7-10dpo so assumed either early period or implantation and pretty sure about ov as was confirmed with opks and temp 🙈

Was tracking as breastfeeding a little bit still and not bled since April last year 🙈

@firsttimemummy321 that’s true, and it must have been implantation bleeding then. I hope your test is darker tomorrow, good luck! x

So, I just tested using FMU, with an Answer brand test. The one that looks really similar to FRER. And the line is slightly darker! I mean, it’s still really faint, but I didn’t have to squint to see it. I’ll attach a picture but the pics didn’t turn out well. It’s clearly visible in real life and it’s definitely pink. But superrr light. But I still don’t have hope, because I woke up this morning with strong AF-like cramps. I’ve had cramps when I found out with my chemicals too, but those cramps were different. It really feels like AF is almost here right now.. it’s definitely like period cramps and they’re strong. :(

How are you guys getting along? x

@firsttimemummy321 did you test again?

This line looks lighter in the pics than the previous pics I posted but it’s darker guys.. and it’s using the Answer test which apparently is less sensitive than FRER. But these cramps! :(

You have those cramps when you’re pregnant, too.

But super faint lines can mean chemical. I hope this isn’t the case for you.

I'm really sorry but I can't see any lines. I think you're being unkind to yourself and you need to stop early testing and just wait until you're post your period being due. If you are in fact pregnant this obsessive testing and stress is not good for you. Testing won't change the result. Try to be kind to yourself.

@LividLiving that’s true, and yeah.. I’m worried about it being a chemical so I definitely need to stop testing. But now the cramps have gone.. it’s so weird!

@Dopeyduck I know what you mean, and you’re definitely right about the stress especially after I’ve had so many chemicals before too. I wasn’t even gonna test today but I’m crazy so I did.. and I was shocked to see a pinker, and a darker line. The picture is so rubbish, I know, but the line was more clearer today in real life. Like it’s still really faint but it was using a less sensitive test, and it was pinker. My symptoms got less yesterday, but my boobs are so sore again today. The sides ache like hell. I’m not gonna test now until my period. If it’s late then I’ll test after that. It’s due tomorrow so let’s see what happens. :)

Good approach @dreamerkr
I know it must be hard, but try to hold off a little. Lave yourself the stress.
I can't see any lines at all sorry 🧡

Save not lave

@dreamerkr 🤞🏻 for you! Hopefully you'll see some progression in a few days 💕 cramps can be either so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yeah same again here it's so frustrating 16dpo 2 days late but I don't have much hope tbh as so super faint still but on 3 brands so surely can't all be I dents and can't be evaps as taken within the time frame 😩

Top 3 are fmu bottom is 2mu

I’m afraid I don’t have much advice OP, but just wanted to say I’m in the same boat at the moment so I know how it feels. AF due today(ish - not 100% sure) and only had faint lines. I’m assuming this either means it’s a chemical or I’ve just been really unlucky and got loads of evaps. Just want to know now either way - the uncertainty and anticipating the let down is awful. Fingers crossed your darker line is a good sign!

Next month I’m def not testing until after AF is due!
