Serious bad line eyes - someone confirm there's nothing there?

[Confusedddddddd]

Someone please confirm I'm just imagining a vvvvvvvvvfl. 9dpo. I'm terrible with line eyes, so wasn't planning on testing until period due - because I end up spending ages looking at the test going is there a line, is there not?.

But... I've got a terrible cold/fever and paranoid about taking medicine not good for pregnancy, also I've been feeling really sick this morning (I know that it doesn't mean anything. - I didn't get nausea until I was 9 weeks with DC1), I haven't had the usually period cramping I get from 5dpo. I also had a tiny bit of spotting this morning.

So yeh someone please tell me I'm imagining it so I can just get on with my life...

There is no line there

I can't see anything

Sorry no line

No line

Nothing here - sorry if it's not the news you was expecting.

Thank you - that was what I was expecting.

@Confusedddddddd see I’m going to throw a spanner in the works and I don’t mean to get your hopes up as I may also have the same line she’s but I POTENTIALLY see something very very very faint as a shadow? Definitely test over the coming days and let us know!

I agree extremely faint barely there. I see a bit of colour to it. But agree wait 11/12DPO.

Yesterday I was 9DPO took a test and saw a line but vanished after 10mins. Today took one was faint but atayed and PM took another and is much darker. I had a gut feeling.

Cross posting this from the line eyes thread:

I decided to test again tonight... it was stark white. Then for some unknown reason I thought I could definitely see something on the earlier one, maybe I didn't wait the whole 5 mins. Now I have this about an hour after taking it.

I'm also cramping very much so seriously thought I was out. It's out of the timeframe so... I don't know. Guess I'm going to have to test again in the morning.

@Confusedddddddd in still saying this looks promising! I’m 10dpo today and had an early positive at 8DPO but had some pretty extreme lower back cramping for the days running up (I have also got Covid so thought it was that but think it must have been related to implantation?)

keep us posted and good luck!!

I can see a faint line on the second test but nothing on the first!

Cramping isn’t necessarily a bad thing… all the times I’ve been pregnant I’d have sworn I was coming on to my period. The fact you’re feeling sick too… I’ve everything crossed and hope your cold/flu passes soon x

I see a line on your second photo. Can you edit into grayscale, as I think this can show faint lines more clearly?

Second one has a definite line.

I just saved the second test and highlighted and greyscaled - look at the line!

Actually scrap that, I think it's picked up the edge of the test - is anyone better at editing photos? I can definitely see a line on the second photo from OP

I think there's a very faint line on the 2nd pic 🤞🏼

@maz210 there you go

I've just added contrast to your second photo and there's definitely a line

I hope this is the news you wanted

It definitely is! We were aiming for a 3 yr gap, but accidentally got pregnant in May which turned out to be ectopic. We chatted just after finding out and realised we both would have really wanted this baby. Turns out I have quite a few gynae issues so surgeon told not to wait too.

I'm still not convinced as that test was stark white when I first looked at it.

Can you test again first thing in the morning when HCG levels are higher? I definitely think congratulations are in order from that second test

ooh I have everything crossed for you x

Hmm it's not good. Started cramping badly overnight and woke up to heavy bleeding. Took 2 tests this morning which were negative.

So sorry to hear @Confusedddddddd xx
