FRER False Positive?

Hi folks, I would love your opinion on my FRER pregnancy test I took this morning ... would you say these were 'indents' 'false positives'?

It could be the start of a positive… how many days DPO are you? When is your period due?

@Moonshine160 I am either 8 or 9dpo and my period is due on Monday x

It’s still very early yet so I would leave it a couple of days before testing again. But I can see something on your tests!

Oh dear. Today’s test stripe is much paler too - not sure what that means but could that explain it?

@Starryskiesinthesky I had the flash on for the second photo, it could be that. Be definitely no obvious line like yesterday 😞 really hopes to see a darker line this morning 👎🏼 xx

Sorry OP Sad could your wee have been more diluted this morning?

Sparrow91 · 03/09/2021 07:03

I still see a line in the second photo, fingers crossed for you it’s just the flash.

I would also try doing a test later in the day - when I was very early I got weaker lines in the morning and stronger positives from 5pm!

@Moonshine160 I think I was more diluted this morning if I was being honest.

@Sparrow91 I will definitely try that - thank you so much for the glimmer of hope ❤️

@BEH2016 I've had some bad experiences with those tests. Have you tried a FRER (pink dye test)? They say they are more reliable, although given my experience above I'm now more confused than ever. Sending you baby dust ✨ xx

Surely not another indent? Thinking I might be around 13 dpo, late for my period too and feel wet down below constantly - sorry (tmi 😳)

That looks like an early positive rather than an evap to me.

Aw I do hope so @Moonshine160 🤞🏼 this was with afternoon urine. Will try with FMU tomorrow morning. Thanks again for responding, I really appreciate it ❤️

The first test was an indent but today's one is definitely positive, I take it the line is much more visible off camera, my + frers were always very obvious in real life but not as visible in photos

ChattyMum86 · 09/09/2021 21:34

@BastardMonkfish it was very pink at the time but now it's dried - not so much 🤞🏼 if it's another indent I seriously don't think I can trust this brand 🤷🏼‍♀️ tomorrow's test will tell x

BFN this morning, unreal. How bad are those indents?! 😢

OP posts:
Indianna2006 · 10/09/2021 15:02

Sorry @ChattyMum86 I’ve had some indents on frers too a few cycles.

There super pale and almost don’t have any colour. I know everyone rates frers but some do give out s dodgy evap indent. I keep seeing it on loads of threads.

I don’t think there is any one test which doesn’t sometimes give out evaps.

Which is why testing early just causes upset second guessing. Or people think they’ve had chemicals when it is just an evap.

It’s annoying!!!
How long have you been ttc?

Aw mate Thanks
Clarkey86 · 10/09/2021 15:51

If I’m being totally honest with you I don’t think they’re indents - I think you might have had a faint positive and maybe a chemical pregnancy.

I’ve done a LOT of FRERs and never had a false positive or indent so I’d be surprised at 2.

I’m sorry - crossing my fingers for you next time!

@BastardMonkfish thank 😞 had a rotten day, so disappointed. Worst of it is, cycle day 37 and still no sign of AF so don't even feel like I can focus on the next cycle. So frustrating.

@Indianna2006 thanks for responding 🙏🏼 actively ttc for around 6 months now. My issue is that I need to test early as I have a blood clotting condition, so as soon as there's HCG in my blood I have to start injections to keep my blood thin and keep me safe from strokes, pulmonary embolism etc. 👎🏼

Hoping for AF soon so I can move on xx
