Very very faint line not changed - too early?

I know the answer!
I know I need to wait!
BUT, I'm wondering what on earth is going on here!

DP and I not trying but we also understand the pull out method is not a reliable form of contraception....
That said - I wasn't expecting this month be a month of pos mania!
Youngest is 3 months

I just had this feeling, I think it's when I'm happy in the luteal phase I'm like ohhh... I'm pregnant! I'm extremely hormonal when the oestrogen dips as I'm dopamine deficient ANYWAY! So when I'm not it sends alarm bells! I guess it's the only symptom different to my period I guess! So without checking my app I took a test and got a vvvv faint line. Questionably could have been an evap because I couldn't check it properly as it was dark and only just visible by morning.
Next day the same. Maybe lighter. Very hard to see. Feeling mad now. Wasted lots of lonely on digitals BFN. And here's todays.
Digital still BFN.

Now that I've checked my app I can see I may have ovulated late or else DP's swimmers, which would would have had to has been pre swimmers of a drip from a relay who knows - would have needed to swim and hang about for almost the max time they can?! Or I OV'd late when he's caught me the other time we DTD - more likely?

Anyway ... three days of vvv faint lines, could this be chemical ? Would love to tell you I won't test again till due on but now I've started 🙈

Anyone else had lots of real real,squinters and no progress for a few days, and how did that pan out?
I've only ever seen big increases but maybe I was later?

ANY EXPERIENCE of these faint tests much appreciated!

< SO faint it was impossible to photograph but I've had a go _ today and yesterdays wake up straight away just super hard to see - my Mum can't see it >

This one is invalid straight off the bat. Tests need to be checked in the 5 minute timeframe, after that results should be discounted.

Test again with a first response first morning urine.

Sorry haven't explained very well
That was Fridays, thought I saw something - couldn't tell for sure, was there by morning, questioned it as also the first one!
Saturday - Exactly the same faint line within time frame.
Today - same again!
My query is, has what are peoples experiences with multiple faint lines?

I'm ten weeks and I tested just after my period. First test really faint proper squinter. 2 day same again. 3rd day still really faint but able to just catch it on camera. 4th day a little darker but still faint 5th day super dark line.

Hope whatever the results is what you want :)

Congrats @MsBallen ! How amazing! Hope you're feeling okay and looking forward to your scan!
And a good news story as my mind was going over to the dark side of scenarios!

I've just loaded Fridays and todays tests (yesterdays was exactly the same)
They were SO hard to photograph and needed to be enhanced to see.
My mum couldn't see with her naked eye.

Would you say yours were as faint as these?

OP posts:
MsBallen · 07/08/2022 19:11

Yes mine were that faint at first and it took ages and ages for them to darken. I hope you get the results you want, it's possible. Hope your feeling ok :)

@MsBallen My DP and mum both think I'm being paranoid and chasing shadows! So I think when I see a clear positive - IF I get one / I think I will be in shock but I'm going to keep an open mind till then! I'm 38 DO is 40, I already have 5 and run a business, four with DP. <3 we are blessed really. They are all great kids <3 Let's see if there's one more coming!
Are you going to have a romantic Christmas with a big bump? You'll have to her a maternity Xmas jumper?!! 😍

Last nights test I think has been the easiest to photograph so far so maybe the slightest improvement but still an absolute squinter!

FMU saved for Amazon delivery of more FRER's later today

do feel a bit periody this morning

I can't see a line on the bottom photo OP

hormonalhandbag · 08/08/2022 08:01

@YukoandHiro aaaahh boo... it was easier then yesterday for me to see it and I thought it was visible without tweaks - but I guess my eyes are programmed into it now! Maybe it’s not actually any stronger then, just my eyes playing tricks :-( Let's see what today brings l guess…

I can see a line on the bottom one as well. Hopefully it progresses for you :)

CountrysideVibes · 08/08/2022 20:51

@hormonalhandbag any update today? X

hormonalhandbag · 08/08/2022 23:51

hey @CountrysideVibes thank you so much for checking in!
No progress really
and it’s so hard to photo the squinters!
if I OV’d late and caught from DTD 30/7 pm then I’m only 7/8 DPO today - if that’s the case I got my squinters earlier then I have before but from DPO 9 mine are usually strong /digital, so next 48 hours should reveal a lot
or maybe a chemical if no progression from now on I think it’s that

> FRER no different
> new squinter on a CB - probably doesn’t even show haha
> last inverted image is a cheap 10 whatever it is early test

or could be imagining lines all together haha!!

thank you for asking it’s on my mind constantly wondering am I / aren’t I
really appreciate it xx

I don't see any lines and my eyes are good. Stop editing the photos!

hormonalhandbag · 09/08/2022 05:23

@Carrieonmywaywardsun the lines are defiantly there! But they haven't been getting stronger :-( It's 5.30am and needed a wee so I've collected it and will test when I can get in my bedroom side drawer without waking DP, baby who's in a snuzpod and the 5 year old DD was between us when I woke!

hormonalhandbag · 09/08/2022 09:15

Feel very much like AF is on its way

Last day of testing and then I'm just going to wait for it!

I'm suspecting chemical
