Can anyone help a girl out. This TTC is well stressful.

I have taken FIVE Clear Blue ultra early, and ALL five have show faint positives.

These have been taken on 9,10, and 11 (today) DPO.

My query? I have done some other strip tests tonight (ICs) and a clear blue ultra early digi that are all BFN!!

WHaT iS HapPeniNg?!?!?!

Please give me some words of encouragement and positivity because now I've convinced myself I am not, in fact, pregnant.

I HATE this.

Has anyone had a similar experience and been pregnant? I have had some symptoms. I suffer from HG whilst pregnant, and the last couple of days, I've felt nauseous.

Thank you in advance x

Hi OP, how frustrating! Do you know what sensitivity the IC tests are? It may be they just arent as sensitive so cant pick it up yet.
Have you got a pic of the clearblues? I once had my feelings hurt by Clearblues that had lines but were not positive, I took 4 in the space of 3 days and I was not pregnant and they all had evaps. I've sworn to never use them again! But fingers crossed that isnt the case for you.

Hiya lovely.. I'll attach a pic.

AF is due today, but there is no sign as yet. Did a FRER and negative.

The CBUE all came up within the time frame, so I really don't know what to think!

How are you getting on? Xx

Have you taken another one today? Or a clear blue digital? I know these tests have been famous for ident/evap lines but you would have to be very unlucky to have 5 in a row.

was there no line at all on FRER? For reference this was my FRER test at 12dpo, so it was quite a strong line although everybody is different of course x

In total, I've had 7 in a row now. It's crazy isn't it!

I did a FRER 13DPO and stark BFN.

AF is due today, but there is no sign, so I'm going to test tomorrow. I will keep you updated. Is this a positive on this cycle? Congrats if so! Xx

Surely 7 in a row wouldn’t be all evaps! Can you see line progression every 48 hours? In theory HCG doubles every 48 hours so your tests should be noticeably darker every 2 days?

Fingers crossed for you!!

Thank you, my positive was awhile ago so I’m now nearly 19 weeks pregnant! Xx

Honestly, I have no clue. They seemed to have darkened only very slightly, but the FRER had boots early ones are stark negative.

Just doesn't make any sense. If they are duds, I don't understand how they can be sold with this much error to them!

Oh, congrats! Nearly half way. I'm 5 months postpartum and trying for number 5! I never actively 'tried' with my other babies. This time, I'm planning everything to within an inch of my life! I never used OPKs or anything, so it's all been very new to me and, apparently, very stressful! xx

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that :( honestly these tests are just the worst I don't understand how they are still on the market. When I used them and they had evaps they showed within the timeframe too and looked just like your picture.
