TTC 15 DPO Three Faint Positives? Could they be evaporation lines? Help Please!

Hi everyone! I've been feeling really rotten the last couple of days (very sick/nauseous) and I've noticed that my boobs feel super heavy and tender. I normally get these sorts of symptoms before AF but not to this degree, so it seems unusual! I also noticed some niggly pains on the right hand side a days or two ago, but no cramps.

Weirdly the thing that stuck out and made me want to take a test was a hot chocolate around 10DPO. I got about half way through and could barely keep it down - which is really weird for me as I love got chocolate haha!

We tested at 11DPO on First Response and we got the faintest second line. So faint that you could barely see it and it definitely wouldn't read on camera. I went a bit mad with the pee sticks, did another First Response on 12DPO (Again - another very faint line) and some cheapo tests - but they all came out negative so now I don't know what to think?

I tested again today and my partner and I can swear we see another faint line. Maybe we are just trying to convince ourselves at this point, or it could be they are evaporation lines?

Picture is today (15DPO and day AF is due) Ignore the mess of the image, the only way I could get the test to focus was by balancing it on a candle 😂😂😂

Like I said it's sooo faint but it's weird that we would get three evap lines on three separate tests? I've never had an evap line on a test before this.

My partner and I have been TTC since the beginning of the year. We were successful in March but unfortunately the pregnancy ended in a MMC.

Any help or advice would be appreciated, Thanks! ❤️

I definitely see a squinter!! Good luck! Fingers crossed another test in a few days and you'll have a strong line 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yay! I thought I was going mad haha!
Thank you so much, I'm really hoping for a clear BFP in a few days 🤞🤞🤞

@roselle345 Hi op, I’m really sorry to say but that looks like a chemical to me. I hope I’m wrong but if you definitely ovulated when you think you did the line should be much stronger by now, especially on a frer. Really hope I’m wrong x

Hi OP. I have a nasty feeling that this will be a chemical pregnancy, unfortunately.

The line should be obvious, and should have got progressively darker by now.
You will probably start bleeding in a few days time. Sorry.

Ahhh, I see. I was doing the Clearblue digital ovulation tests in the lead up to my fertile week, so I'm fairly confident we at least tracked it to the 24-48 hour window. That's disappointing to hear. After the MC in May I'm honestly starting to lose hope 😔

Don't lose hope!

I had two miscarriages, then our DD was born. I had a total of twelve miscarriages throughout my reproductive life.

I still ended up with four children. I know it feels hopeless but statistics are on your side. You are very, very likely to have a successful pregnancy soon.

Hi, looks like you were right, AF just arrived right on cue 😔 Obviously I'm feeling pretty sad as I thought this might be it, but thank you for your input anyway ❤️

Char899 · 13/12/2022 16:44

So sorry OP, don’t give up hope ❤️

TheShellBeach · 13/12/2022 23:06

Ah OP I'm sorry. Best of luck for next time.

roselle345 · 07/01/2023 09:33

Update for everyone! Just had this result on first response this month! 11DPO ❤️

Yay! I'm very glad to see that, OP. It's a good line.

roselle345 · 07/01/2023 17:08

Thank you so much! I'm just praying this one sticks 🤞🤞🤞

Congratulations, definitely no squinting needed for that one. Fingers crossed for a healthy pregnancy

LittleLottle · 08/01/2023 11:42

Congratulations OP! I conceived my current pregnancy (I'm 32 weeks) straight after a MC. Sending you sticky dust
