Huh? Where did my line go? 20dpo positive line disappeared

[ovulationleavesmetired]

I'm standing here sort of in shock...I've had plenty of chemicals before and am well used to the slow fade to nothing.

But I've been getting such strong positives since 13DPO and finally at 18DPO I decided to slow down on the testing and start skipping days.

So you can see my super dark positive on 18DPO...and just now, the morning of 20DPO, nothing!

I'm not even sad this time, I'm mad (and confused, and yes, a little bit sad)

How has it disappeared so quickly??

Could it be a dodgey test?

Faulty test.

Could it be the hook effect? Try diluting your urine with water and testing again

Ok I'm going to try and make myself wee again 😭
Will report back shortly

Oh my god...it WAS a faulty test.
2nd test taken about 20mins after the first.

I'm so relieved. My main sadness came from the thought of telling my husband that another one had disappeared.

Thank you for telling me to retest!!

Your HCG can get to a level that exceeds what the test can detect. Not sure at what point that happens though.

Unlikely to be a chemical, as you say no fade.

Aww brilliant 🥰🥰

@Un7breakable I've heard people say this... but I tested until 40 weeks with two pregnancies and they remained positive.

@namechange1986 Apparently it mainly happens with early detection ones.

@ovulationleavesmetired try with a normal test, should be stronger than the frer. Glad you got a line.
