Positive or just wishful thinking??

Today is 9dpo and I took my first test this morning using a FRED test. I can see a very faint line, do you? It appeared after 2/3 mins.
I'm reading a lot about evap lines so I'm getting more anxious...need to relax.

Any advice much appreciated, thank you

I think that there is a line. Fingers crossed!

Definitely positive

I can see a line there and I'm have really similar feelings to you this morning having also tested using a 1st response at 10 dpo with a very faint line appearing after 2-3 mins. I've been reading with pink dye tests, if the line is a faint pink that's a good sign, if it's grey it could be an evap line. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Looks positive to me x

EsouthA · 05/02/2022 10:31

@Bluets
Ye that's what I've been reading. I can't tell if it's pink or grey, I would say more pink but it's so light it's hard to tell 😬
Does yours look similar?
I will test again tomorrow I think, I'm too impatient to wait a couple more days.

@EsouthA it looks pink to me! Mine is very similar. I have the Clear Blue up to 6 days early for tomorrow - it tells you in words so I'm hoping it will take the ambiguity out of it. I'm so nervous though! I hope you have positive news tomorrow. Keep in touch, let us know how you get on!

EsouthA · 05/02/2022 12:09

@Bluets definitely let me know how your test goes tomorrow.
Have you many symptoms?
I have quite frequent mood swings which I don't usually have at this time in my cycle and I also keep getting bad headaches (I rarely get a headace usually). I have dull cramps which come and go but not entirely sure that's not in my head 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

OP posts:
Bluets · 05/02/2022 12:14

@EsouthA I will! Every cycle once I've ovulated I've been experiencing a heaviness in my lower abdomen and perhaps dull cramps for most of the TWW - I was wondering if TTC was making me hyper-aware, or whether something else was going on and in fact was planning on getting it checked out if we didn't conceive this month. I still have that this month which is what's keeping me on the cautious side of optimistic.

Last night I had the worst headache, it sent me to bed early it was so bad and making me feel really sick! My boobs are quite sore too. These are both out of the ordinary. Still feeling quite sicky but could simply be ill!

Good signs for you 🤞🤞🤞

Curlywurly3 · 05/02/2022 12:20

I had a FRER like yours this morning, it was actually fainter than this. I then did the 6 day early CB digi and look…!! I can’t believe it!

Positive or just wishful thinking??
EsouthA · 05/02/2022 13:25

@Curlywurly3 congratulations! Holding out hope for mine tomorrow 🤞🏻

@Curlywurly3 that's amazing, congratulations!

Chichimcgee · 05/02/2022 17:23

That’s just like my 10dpo line, I’m now 37 weeks pregnant!
Definitely do a clear blue one, I couldn’t believe it until I saw the word ‘pregnant’ Smile

itsfreeeeeeezing1234 · 05/02/2022 17:32

Good luck for tomorrow's test xx

Teakind · 05/02/2022 17:35

Definitely positive! Congratulations!

EsouthA · 06/02/2022 09:06

@Bluets

Morning all, I tested again at 10dpo this morning and although the line is just as faint I'm pretty sure it's pink not grey. What do you think?
Holding out hope 🤞🏻 I don't have a 6 days early clear blue just a normal digital one bu weeks so I may do that one later.

How did your tests go this morning?

@EsouthA how are you getting on? I used a CB Digi this morning but got the error image, nightmare! By the time I'd realised it was too late. So I'll have to wait until tomorrow (which is when my period is due so probably for the best anyway)

Decaffe · 06/02/2022 09:10

I am the queen of FRER indents (to the point I will never buy them again), and… that ain’t no indent! 🥳

Bluets · 06/02/2022 09:12

@EsouthA oops we posted at the same time! That's looking great!! Hope you continue to get positive results 🤞

Bluets · 06/02/2022 11:08

This is mine from yesterday, the faint line appeared before the 3 minutes were up. Really hoping it's a positive and not an indent/evap line but at the same time trying to convince myself it is, to avoid disappointment. Funny business this TTC malarkey

Positive or just wishful thinking??
EsouthA · 06/02/2022 11:10

@Bluets that looks just like mine if not more clear so fingers crossed we're both lucky this month 🤞🏻
I didn't do another test so will do another tomorrow.
Keep me updated x

@Bluets
I didn't manage to test this morning, totally forgot when my alarm went off at 5am 😴
Did you manage to test this morning? 🤞🏻 for you x

OP posts:
Bluets · 07/02/2022 09:23

@EsouthA oh no! Although good to hold out as long as possible. I read if you get up early and need a hand remembering, putting the toilet seat down and the pregnancy test on top of the seat helps!

Tested this morning, slightly darker line on FRER, also a line on the easy @ home tests that come with the OPKS. However, my cramping has increased and I really feel like I'm going to get my period, which is due today. Not going to do any additional tests for a few more days and see what happens with AF.

Fingers crossed for you when you next test!
