11DPO - is this a squinter?😬

[HopefulTTC2024]

Hi everyone - I’m quite new to this game so would love some help if possible!
I’m 11DPO this morning and took this test (it’s a 10mIU test from Amazon). This is the test after 5 mins.
Is this a squinter or am I getting false hope? Can I test again this evening if I hold my pee a few hours?

I can definitely see a faint line in both - how many days DPO are you? Perhaps you implanted late?

@HopefulTTC2024 aww thankyou 🥹 it’s slow but hopefully moving in the right direction. Yours is super clear today and I’m so excited for you 🥳x

I'm 4 days late now, no symptoms really :( x

Have you done any tests since these one? Hopefully you will be able to see some progression?🤞🏼

Another update - now 14 DPO. AF due today so praying we don't see her 🙈
Progression lines are definitely there. I also took a clear blue ultra early and got a good line with it, and I have some standard cheapy tests (not the early ones so they need 25mIU) and I can actually see a little line coming in it too!
Going to test with clear blue digital on Saturday if AF doesn't appear 🙈🤞🏼

Amazing line progression @HopefulTTC2024 🥳👏 let us know how you get on with your clear blue digital. Are you having any symptoms?

Mine doesn’t actually look like it’s getting darker?? Don’t want to get excited for this reason 😔

@Sbella13 Have you been doing all the tests first thing in the morning? Yesterday when I did mine in the morning and this morning the lines were so faint. PM tests came out much better with First Response giving a nice solid line.

Try your tests in the evening and see if that makes a difference.

@Rose38 yes I’ve been doing them all with fmu. Will give the evening a go tonight 😊thankyou. It’s so hard to let yourself feel any emotion or excitement without knowing 100% these tests are accurate 😅

@Sbella13 Honestly yesterday morning when I got that faint line, I was so upset. Thought I'm going through a chemical pregnancy again...then went through loads of threads and saw some people mention morning time is sometimes fainter line than if you do test in evening time.

I'm still not sure if my pregnancy is going fine so I've asked the GP if I can have a blood test. Waiting to hear back from them. They normally wait for maternity team to arrange that.

I think now I will only test in the evenings so I don't stress myself further. What symptoms are you experiencing?

I have such bad nausea constantly. And my stomach is feeling firm. Pain in boobs on and off.

Todays pregnancy test :) getting slightly darker. Even tho should be darker with being 5 days late

I've just got sore/bigger boobs, mild cramping and I need to pee a lot. That's all really!
I would do another test this evening if you can hold your pee for a few hours - hopefully it comes out a bit darker to give you peace of mind 🤞🏼

Definitely darker - are you using early detection tests (10mIU) or just standard tests (25mIU)?

This one was an early detection the others were normal standard tests x

@Rose38 I’ve been the exact same since I did my test this morning it’s really put me in a sad mood thinking about how it was possibly there and maybe now it’s not but I ended up doing another one maybe 30 minutes or so ago. Haven’t had anything to drink so it was a held for a few hours wee and the line is definitely more visible. What do you guys think? The top one was fmu today and the bottom is one I did not so long ago.

as for symptoms I’m the same as you really which is why I’ve been so sure it’s positive. My boobs are sensitive - not so much painful as of yet. Been feeling super nauseous to the point of food aversion the last 2 days but I haven’t actually been sick. I’ve also had lots of gas/wind which isn’t normal for me along with cramping but not af style cramping. More of a dull sensation that comes and goes quickly. I can’t be imagining all of those symptoms surely? 😬

@HopefulTTC2024 my symptoms are similar to yours too. I will definitely do another cheapy with a hold wee tonight and see if it gets any darker. I guess all we’re really looking for is peace of mind isn’t it and we’re all in the same boat 😭😂 I did go and buy some boots 5 day early tests that I was planning to use so maybe I’ll try one tonight and see what happens.

god I so hope this is real and it’s not evaps/all in my head 🥹

Forgot to attach photo sorry. That’s also another thing that’s been happening the past few days. I seem to have forgotten everything that was in my head even seconds ago 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 baby brain?!

@elle123355 i can definitely see the line! Hopefully it starts to darken for you over the next few days x

@Sbella13 Definitely the second test looks darker. Try again tomorrow evening or the day after. 🤞 for you.

Your second test definitely looks darker! I would test again this evening but I imagine your test tomorrow will be darker.
The boots early test gave me a pretty dark line when I did it with FMU so definitely try those!

@Sbella13 the line is definitely there, you might be one of thos odd cases like me that just get darker results later in the day! Exciting!

@HopefulTTC2024 thankyou I’ll test again this evening and then do a boots 5 days early tomorrow. I just want to know what’s going on with my body 😭😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@Impatient1987 i certainly hope that’s what’s going on here. Trying so hard to stay positive 😂

will report back girls ✨

I can't wait till the morning so I can test ! Been having cramps last night and today so I'm worried about a chemical hit fingers crossed everything is okay

@HopefulTTC2024 @Impatient1987 @Rose38 stupidly took one of the boots 5 days early tests knowing my urine is most likely diluted and it’s come back with the faintest of shadows 🤦🏻‍♀️ hating myself for causing this much concern that it’s not even real right now

@elle123355 keeping everything crossed for you that your test darkens 🤞 I’m going out of my mind over mine today 🤦🏻‍♀️

@elle123355 I hope everything goes well for you. Can you not do a test now to check? 🤞 for you.
Cramping might just be the body going through the changes hopefully.
