Hello, been TTC for 12 months, been pregnant twice in that time ending in a chemical and a miscarriage.

I'm about 10 or 11DPO and had some brown discharge yesterday when wiping and period symptoms (cramps), assumed my period was 4 days early. Today I have taken a FRER bought from Amazon and have got the faintest line. Too faint to show a picture as can't capture it but attached one anyway though assume no one will see anything.
Assume FRERs are problematic and this is some kind of evap? Negative on easy@home.

Thanks but the period symptoms are pretty disconcerting lol. I have that song stuck in my head now - "Do you see what I see, do you see what I see?"

I've not been pregnant before so I don't have first hand experience but from all the threads I've read, early pregnancy cramps (and those throughout) feel exactly like period cramps. And all the other symptoms of pregnancy are the same as AF. I really wouldn't worry x x

I had brown spotting in my underwear around the time my period was due and I was pregnant. Fingers crossed! It does look positive to me!

FRERs have been prone to evap lines recently. Does your line have colour or is it quite grey?
I have attached a photo of an evap I got a couple of years ago. I was definitely not pregnant (was having tests at a fertility clinic) so it wasn't anything like a chemical. The line didn't have colour so was definitely just an evap.
Test again in a couple of days. FRERs used to be the best you could get but I don't trust them anymore these days.

I can see a faint line too, but it doesn't look like there is any colour to it? I sadly don't trust Frers from Amazon anymore.

Well it's official... but still get brown when wiping (day 3 of this) so not sure how long I'll be holding onto this one
