Anyone see the faintest line?
I feel like I do but I question whether my eyes have finally had it with the squinting to see what I wish was there.
I'll be testing with a FRER tomorrow unless AF comes before then.
Thanks x

Please tell me you see a faint faint faint line - it’s more pink in person…I think it’s 8/9 dpo will test again tomorrow.

Line eyes please...

@Fantasticbeasties I can deffo see a line in your picture 🤗

Gentleness · 01/07/2022 22:08

I see that line.

Sanner · 01/07/2022 23:17

@Sesamechick god I know that glimmer of hope when AF hasn’t showed up all too well ! And what’s more annoying about late periods is that it feels like you’re waiting so much longer for the next ovulation to try !

are you more stressed than usual have you gotten a clearer test ?

Sanner · 01/07/2022 23:17

@Fantasticbeasties I can too !

Fantasticbeasties · 01/07/2022 23:27

Thank you! I think I can too - can barely sleep waiting to test again tomorrow! X

Sesamechick · 02/07/2022 09:44

@Fantasticbeasties
Def see a line!! Did you test again this morning? X
@Sanner hey! Still no AF! The wait is torture and cruel..I can't stand it.
Not more stressed than the usual! Will buy a FRER later and test tomorrow morning. It's so frustrating. I'm 8/9 days late!
How are you doing? X

Will you hit up your doctor if still no AF after a while coz that’s super strange ? I tested again yday coz we’re off on a boozy weekend on the south of France and wanted to be sure, and for the first time ever the whole dye leaked so couldn’t read it 😢 no bloody luck ! but got loads of lower stomach cramps and no other symptoms so I reckon AF isn’t far off 😪 are you still cramping ?

Sesamechick · 02/07/2022 14:56

@Sanner ugh what luck with your test. How annoying!
When is your AF due?
I do still have cramps. I'm just convincing myself it's AF coming with a vengeance. Took a cheapie this afternoon (only 2hr hold) and was BFN.
Enjoy your boozy weekend!!!

It’s literally torture - I tested earlier before the festivities and swore I could see the faintest line after a minute and my husband couldn’t and said I probably shouldn’t stress and just have a drink, I’ll test again tomorrow, AF is supposedly due in 4 days but I’m so irregular I just generally find out one messy day 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ God I’m sorry how frustrating I really thought I could see lines too our eyes play tricks on us !!

Sanner · 03/07/2022 10:55

So this is the test from this morning, convinced I can see a line but i can’t bear to get my hopes up, I’ve had so many evap lines that I’ve seen after 24h and didn’t know what they were, this was in 1 min but I feel like I’m seeing things !!

Definitely positive! A nice wide line with colour, no doubting that. Congratulations!

SaraSS · 03/07/2022 11:19

Hello! Just jumping in to this thread hope you all don't mind!
I hate the blue dye tests they are so unreliable. @Sanner this morning's looks positive but have you got a pink dye test you could try? Even just a cheapy?
It does look promising but can't be definite. How many DPO are you?

Sanner · 03/07/2022 12:15

@SaraSS they really are !! Each one I took had an evap line after 10 mins, I’m glad I found this group to even learn about them ! I’m 12 DPO, I’m kind of worried it’s chemical coz we’ve been on hols it’s been v boozy and I have no other symptoms except cramping and the lines v faint, I took one pink one and the dye ran, I’ve got one which I’ll do tomorrow 🤞🏼

SaraSS · 03/07/2022 12:36

@Sanner gosh you're having no luck with the tests.
Yeah I learnt about the problems with blue dyes the hard way early on. It's so cruel to finally see that second line and it's not even real.

I wouldn't worry about having had a boozy weekend, if you are pregnant it wouldn't impact it at this stage (that's what I've been told by docs)
if you end up having a chemical it won't have been anything you've done.. Just very unfortunate ☹

Fingers crossed for the test tomorrow! Keep us posted

Sesamechick · 03/07/2022 12:38

@Sanner Yayyyyy how exciting. I would say that's a positive!!! If you can't see that you must go to Specsavers 😂

@Sesamechick im having a hard time believing it since I have several large fibroids and PCOS and was told it’d be a nightmare to conceive and we’ve only TTC properly for the first time this month ! How are you getting on has the elusive AF showed up ?

Sanner · 04/07/2022 10:54

@SaraSS thanks for the advice, my husband is convinced I’m getting my hopes up too soon and will be disappointed (I have several fertility issues which I’ve known about for years and so it’s been a roller coaster even before TTC), trying my best not to get too excited 🤦🏼‍♀️ Tests from last night and this morning, both results took about 4/5 mins to show up properly, I’ve got a couple of bottles of alcohol free fizz just in case for the rest of the hols ... 😳

SaraSS · 04/07/2022 11:41

@Sanner those tests do look promising.
Do you have a digital test you could try? Although may be worth waiting another day or so.. I'm not sure how much hormones you would have yet..
Got everything crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

Sesamechick · 04/07/2022 14:57

@Sanner I am so happy for you!! Those are looking very good. Definitely do a digital as seeing the words make it that extra bit more real and special!
My AF still not here. Did cheapies FMU and BFN. Did a FRER after my errands (only 1.5hr hold) and BFN. I give up. I don't know what to think except this is pure torture not knowing.
My sister seems to think it's possibly from my early miss back in April. Who knows? I also did an OPK test just to see out of curiosity and was a v v faint line so I'm definitely not ovulating. I have no idea what's going on. I'll give it until Thursday/Friday when I'll be 2 weeks late if AF doesn't show by then and give the GP a call if necessary.
Please keep us updated with you! Whoo hooo!! X

@Sesamechick omg I remember doing testing ovulation when I was really late out of pure desperation too, like is the cycle starting again and I’m not aware, it’s the most frustrating thing because even if AF shows up it’s awful but at least you can get cracking again in two weeks but waiting and not knowing argh !!

talking of which because I have PCOS I sometimes don’t ovulate and so took conceive plus vitamins from when we started to try, I suppose if you’re normally regular then they’re useless but it really helped keep things on track and they have some wicked reviews. I’ve seen a few reviews where people have missed periods and used it to bring one on.

PS am gonna digital tomorrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼 At 14 DPO and 4 days pre AF I think I should have a clear result one way or the other ...

Sesamechick · 06/07/2022 05:53

@Sanner
How you doing? Did you manage to do a digital? Fingers crossed for you!!

Still no AF here and all tests BFN.
Have an appt this week for an ultrasound to further investigate some fibroids/polyps I have. They were discovered when I was pregnant with my 7yr old so they're thinking maybe they have gotten bigger and/or developed more. Who knows. I feel like I'm slowly giving up hope which is such a depressing thought but the heartache every month is just too much.

OP posts:
Sanner · 06/07/2022 07:56

@Sesamechick how long have you been trying ? I really feel for you, the not knowing is just awful and o think I read earlier that you’d had an early miss, hang in there !!

as for the digital, it’s in french but it’s BFP ! terrified as much as I am excited as have very light other symptoms and cramping really badly, I have an awful feeling it’s not viable as my fibroids are almost exclusively in the uterine wall and I’ve got 6, docs scheduled for Friday so here’s hoping it’s clinging somewhere viable ...

ive got my fingers crossed for your fibroid check up, they’re no fun !! Did I see you mention before that this is your second time TTC ?

Sanner · 06/07/2022 10:35

@SaraSS thansk for the advice, the digital was a good idea ! BFP This morning :) (in french but still good 😂)

Line eyes please...
SaraSS · 06/07/2022 12:07

@Sanner yay congrats on the digital. That shows you have a decent level of hormone so it's very positive but I've got everything crossed for you that it sticks 🤞🤞🤞
Hope it goes well on Friday at doctors! Keep us posted
