FFS. It's so frustrating when you can see a faint line in real life but it doesn't show up in a picture

Like this.

It was my one and only test I had left too. Though more are arriving tomorrow.

I swear in real life there is the faintest line, I think it may have a little colour too. But I'm not getting my hopes up, I already had 5 years of doing that.

Dh and I stopped ttc 2 years ago, I have been heartbroken month after month and couldn't do it anymore. Something randomly told me to take the test today and there is the result. No idea about ovulation or anything as I haven't been tracking.

But there is definitely a line there, whether it's an indent or evap or a faint positive has yet to be determined.

Although, just checked my thread on the laptop rather than my phone, and I can actually see the line a lot better!

Ahhhh, it's going to be a long night's wait for those tests tomorrow!

I played with the saturation etc for you…

Holy shit 👀

Cautious congratulations OP - I know what it’s like, I will be keeping everything crossed that this is it for you 🤞

Is that typically what an evap/indent would look like? Not going to lie, that's caught me a little off guard 😂

And a cautious yet grateful thank you! Things can feel a bit lonely late at night so I'm so happy to have someone to talk to. Not mentioning a thing to Dh yet.

Everything crossed for you OP. I've just come from a threat where someone got pregnant just before they were to star IVF.

What a lovely evening with happy updates and news.

That saturated pic has got me feeling excited for you, OP. Fingers and toes crossed for tomorrow's test/s!

If you could see the faint line inside the time window then it should be good,. Hopefully the new tests are arriving early tomorrow!

Looks as though you’re on route to a positive test, keep us posted 🙏🏻

Thank you so much.

The funny thing is, Dh and I have had a lot going on lately and have both made comments that we were glad that we had no children to consider amongst all the chaos!

If I am pregnant, would it be totally selfish to say I'm not entirely sure if I would immediately feel thrilled? I think I might feel a bit terrified, actually! 😬

Totally normal I reckon!

I can see the line even in the first picture -just the faintest shadow! Have you tested again this morning OP?

Totally normal. My friend went through ten years of IVF, was utterly heartbroken at the prospect of it not happening for her. When she eventually got her BFP she totally freaked out, had multiple panic attacks and cried for weeks thinking she'd ruined her life. She was nervous throughout the pregnancy but once baby arrived she was smitten and alp the doubts disappeared. Said baby is now six and she's a brilliant and very happy mum.

Personally I think it is partly because when conceiving is a problem, you spend a lot of time trying to think of the positives of not conceiving, and the bad things about having children, to protect yourself emotionally. So then once you get your BFP it's totally understandable that all sorts of doubts and fears will creep in. Particularly because after such a long road to get there, people often can't believe it will actually work out.

Fingers crossed for you!

Just got the notification to say my tests are out for delivery 😬😬

Still haven't told dh anything.

This makes a lot of sense. I'm glad your friend is ok now.

I can't fucking believe this. I'm sitting here in absolute shock. My hands are shaking as I'm typing this.

Sorry, I know I'm being dramatic but what the actual fuck? 🙈
I've just checked my period app and it says I'm not due on for another 6ish days.

They can't all be evaps/indents, can they?

Nope! One could be, but not 3 different brands! 🤭

Congratulations OP!

I can only imagine how you feel right now.

When will you tell your DP?

Fuck my heart feels like it's going to pound itself right out of my chest

He's visiting his mum at the minute. I don't know whether to wait until the lines get darker?

It just doesn't feel real to me. All those years we tracked and timed everything, cut out alcohol, took the supplements, got our hearts broken, cried, raged, hoped, wished, even begged the universe for something that felt so out of reach, and eventually just accepted it wasn't happening and moved on.

Then I get these lines out of nowhere 2 years later 🙈

Well that looks pretty conclusive! Fingers crossed for you, what a lovely result that would be! ❤️

Oh gosh.

Feeling this for you. Fingers crossed.

Omg yeah definitely pregnant probably very very early mine looked the same when I was super early with my son . Get a digital one .
Congratulations ❤️

Huge congratulations! Personally I'd be tempted to wait until I'd missed my period, but then again I imagine you'll want his support either way, so you might just want to tell him?
