Not sure when I ovulated but my cycles are pretty regular and I'm due in a week or so. All of my previous pregnancies were clearly positive on tests early (8, 9 and 10 dpo respectively).

I got some Internet cheapies and dipped a few into a sample of urine. A few of them developed a very slight, barely imperceptible shadow after the time (normal for an IC). On one, the dye got stuck in the test line for a while but when it moved along it left a faint pink line within the time frame. It's too faint to even take a photo of.

Once I tested on 8dpo and it was a stark negative but over the course of the evening, it turned into a similar shadow than what I am seeing on these tests. I did a FREr when I saw the shadow on the IC and got a very clear BFP, so I do have an interest in what ICs are doing at this stage, even I'm if not really supposed to!

If you have any thoughts, let me know. I know to keep testing of course, but it's just nice to talk to other women about the testing madness as my husband thinks it's crazy lol

I’d be cautious. Frer are renowned for indents that look very like positives, there are pictures all over the internet. The lines/shadows on your other ones are all after time. I hope you do get a BFP but to be sure get a digital and test in a few days. 🤞🏻

Thank you. I fished this out of the bin last night. Obviously it got wet and the dye ran but I did get a bit dreamy eyed. The chances are actually very slim this month so I'm highly doubtful anyway!
