Is this a FRER indent?

Hey!

I’m only 9 DPO today but can’t help but early test 😭

Is this an indent on FRER I had indents on the them a few months ago but I can’t remember if they were this visible, saying that the camera has barely picked it up so apologies if you can’t see anything 😅

This looks very similar to my positive at 4 days past 5 day transfer, so 9DPO equivalent. Got everything crossed for you that it gets darker and darker!

(Full disclosure, I got my one like this in the evening, then the following morning tested negative and it was devastating.. turns out I'd just had quite a bit of water overnight which had diluted my pee too much 😂. It was positive again by the evening!)

@Olivia199 ahh thank you! I’m trying not to get my hopes up because it’s so faint I can’t even tell if it has any colour. Just need to keep calm until tomorrow morning (and lay off the water in the evening tonight 😅😂)

I was exactly the same. Absolutely couldn't believe it, wanted to believe it, too scared to believe it incase I got my hopes up. Absolutely whirlwind!
Yeah I was always so convinced that FMU was the best option. But turns out, nearly all my fluid intake is overnight so evenings were my darker positives. That was an awful day at work thinking it was negative! Only to find it positive that night.. like I said. Whirlwind. Wishing you all the luck and will check back for updates if you decide to give them!

Lines have to start somewhere and that’s the start of a line.

@Olivia199 I’d love to believe it just don’t want to be let down, it’s going to be a long wait till tomorrow morning 😅

Oh bless you, that’s an absolute rollercoaster! So nice to hear a story with a positive ending though! 🥰

@LividHouse Ahhh I really hope so!

Feels like the longest wait ever. When people tell you to just retest in 48 hours.. but every minute feels that long! 😂 very happy ending here, she's currently "helping" me pack for our holiday Monday (by removing everything I pack and replacing it with.. herself).

@Olivia199 I know right, I can barely wait another 24 hours let alone 48 😅

Ahh how sweet! Have a lovely holiday!

Todays line seems slightly darker but I still can’t tell if it has any colour!

Going to get a different batch of FRER 😅

I feel likes Mumsnet ruins the quality and the lines become invisible 🥲

I can definitely see a line on this mornings test! The 2nd picture of the single test is very clear to me!
Congratulations

Honestly I spent SO long trying to get a camera angle that showed a line. I could see it in real life, I could see it through the camera lense. Then I'd press "capture" and the damn thing would dissappear!

@Olivia199 literally me this morning placing the test in all different lights 😅

Go another FRER to try later today, want to see if there’s something wrong with that batch!

@jenn88 ahh thank you, I hope it’s real!!

Done another with a 4 hour hold and I can’t even tell if there’s a line, DH is convinced there is but I’m not sure.

Praying the first lot weren’t just a faulty batch with strong indents 😭

Sometimes even a 4 hour hold isn't "good enough" this early on. Really feel for you as I remember the anxiety. Hopefully a clearer picture tomorrow!

Borkled · 21/05/2023 16:13

I can see lines on all your pictures

Oxborn · 21/05/2023 16:24

I can see lines fingers crossed 🤞 for you

@Olivia199 I am most definitely on that emotional rollercoaster right now 😭

I haven’t got anymore FRER so might order and wait till Tuesday, if I can!

You could always wait until you miss a period.

That sounds like a good plan, I'll be thinking of you!! It's so so hard to wait and honestly, I never wanted to. I wanted this part because if I did the whole TWW without testing, I knew I'd convince myself it worked and didn't want to be shattered on test day. So if it was negative, the slow loss of hope was more manageable than a big fat slap in the face.

Equally this has its drawbacks for exactly what you're experiencing!

@Olivia199 taken a clear blue early test and there’s an incredibly faint line which came up at the end of the window. So faint I can’t photograph it. I know these aren’t as sensitive so hoping that’s why and it’s not another indent 🥲

I completely agree, I’d rather be let down slowly than build myself up to one BFN, but yes in cases like this if I’m not pregnant it’s not been great 😅

The clear blue early didn't pick mine up until the same day as my digital. Which drove me a little bonkers. Red dye all the way!

@Olivia199 ahhh I have no idea what to think at this point 😅

Debating wether to hold as long as possible and use a FRER this afternoon, I’m so impatient 😭

@kalixxx i did a 3 hr hold early evening when I got my bpf. It might be worth a try! I’m no expert but I’ve heard a few people on mums net say that they actually get better lines in the evening time. 🤞🏻

@Tempeliz taken on just now with a 6 hour hold (that was a struggle) and again there’s an incredibly faint line which comes up at the 3 minute mark. I’m taking them all as indents and feel quite deflated after it all ☹️

Going to just wait till Thursday/Friday for AF now!
