Line eyes? Evap?

Hi all.

Feeling distressed! I usually have 27-28 day cycles. I'm currently on 32 & no sign of AF as of yet.

I tested yesterday in the afternoon, and got what looked like the faintest of lines (pic 1).
Tested this morning with fmu & was negative.

I've just dipped two tests in the same urine.. and I'm sure I can see a line.

I'm concerned I've got line eyes, or they are evap lines, so seeking a little reassurance.

I've had 3 miscarriages previously, and I'm due a pre-op for endometriosis tomorrow after being on the waiting list for 6 months!!
Totally at a loss of what to do and really could do with some advice please ladies.

Desperate.

The middle image looks like there is very feint lines. How many DPO are you? Have you got a FRER you could take?

Also have you got a pic of it dried ? There's quite a bit of pink streaking

MollyPotter · 03/05/2023 12:15

Thank you for not reading and running.

I'd say somewhere between 15-17dpo.
No OPKS.

I went to Boots to get a FRER but they didn't have any in stock.
I'm not sure where else stocks them here

I’d get a FRER too or ask the GP for hCG bloods.

Pollywoddles · 03/05/2023 12:16

At 15-17 dpo I’d be expecting stronger lines.

MollyPotter · 03/05/2023 12:18

I didn't take a picture of them dried, but when dry, the strip was all pretty much white, with a darker C line and I think a very faint T line.. but I'm not sure if it's wishful thinking.

BABYPRAYING · 03/05/2023 12:19

I'd get a FRER

BABYPRAYING · 03/05/2023 12:20

Asda or something like that might be worth a try. If not then Amazon do them next day delivery. Failing that try get a clear blue early one

bingbangbongding · 03/05/2023 12:31

I see a line.

MollyPotter · 03/05/2023 13:31

Thank you lovelies!
I'll see if I get chance to run out to ASDA if I can escape work.

I can see faint lines, but if you're 15 dpo would definitely expect a stronger line... Did they appear within the time frame?

No problem, keep us updated.

Just make sure it's a sensitive one (10miu) so will show up clearer hopefully if you are indeed pregnant. I know them cheapies aren't that great in the sensitivity. Depends which ones they are.

MollyPotter · 03/05/2023 13:36

They pinged up within 3 minutes (I was timing) facepalm

BABYPRAYING · 04/05/2023 19:46

@MollyPotter did you manage to test?

MollyPotter · 04/05/2023 20:21

Thanks for checking in!

I couldnt find FRER anywhere but I grabbed 2x boots own brand.
They where both stark white.

AF still not shown up but I'm guessing just a cruel and dodgy cycle.

Are you ttc? :)

BABYPRAYING · 04/05/2023 20:51

@MollyPotter that's really frustrating! What DPO are you now?

Yes I am TTC. We have been having unprotected sex for about 5 years. I finally got caught pregnant two years ago but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be and ended in MMC at 9 weeks.

This is the first month I have used LH sticks and found my ovulation/peak! So we DTD two days before.

Iv also been to the drs for bloods to check hormones and the 21 day progesterone came back as 29. But to be fair I think they tested me too early. Iv heard that it's meant to be around mid cycle and mine are 30-35 days.

Sorry for rambling 😂

MollyPotter · 05/05/2023 09:47

In all honesty, I have got no real idea. I wasn't checking or charting or temping or anything.. I had sent my sister a text on the 20th to say I don't think I had ovulated judging by CM (which was 15 days ago..) but then as times gone by I thought maybe I just didn't notice. Part of me thinks I ovulated a couple of days after that, which would be around 13 days ago or so, and late ovulation has made AF late.
But this never happens. I have tracked AF for over 2 years and it is always 27 or 28 days. I've never had a 34 day cycle (and counting..)
I sent those photos to the online midwife and she said "Take it as your pregnant. I can see the line. That's three positives on 2 different brands." and when I said "But they've all been negative since.." she said "Your pregnant, stop taking tests."
But I know I'm not, and it feels cruel that she has got my hopes up.

I went a bit OTT and got 9 tests from poundland yesterday, and they've all been negative.

I had a pre-assessment for endometrioses surgery yesterday too, so now I'm in limbo because they'll probably contact me for surgery within the next week or two.

My partner just doesn't understand and I don't really have any friends I can discuss this with at the moment. It's really hard!
Just wish AF would come so I can move on.
(now I'm rambling).

Please feel free to ramble! Your situation sounds incredibly stressful. And it's really painful when everyone around us seems to fall pregnant so quick and simply.
I do think people like you and I will appreciate our future children much more than those who did not struggle.
I'm not expert, but if it was 29 at CD21, then I think it would climb within a few days. which is very positive for you!

Now you've found your peak, hopefully this month is your month! Fingers crossed.

BABYPRAYING · 05/05/2023 12:55

@MollyPotter bless you! Easier said than done but try relax. Try your best not to stress and think about it. Maybe leave it a few days and then re test.

Yes I think when we do (not if) get our beautiful baby it will be so special and spoilt rotten that's for sure.

I'm hoping that this is our month but I won't let it get to me either and will keep trying.

If you ever need anyone to talk to just let me know 😊

MollyPotter · 06/05/2023 10:28

Ditto about someone to talk to! <3

I will be praying that the kind stranger from the internet receives good news this month! :)
