So what's the longest you've stared at a test for?

[imaginarybluelines]

I'm clocking up a silly amount of time here (and I know it says not to read them after so long... but I can't help it!) I don't know whether it's the faintest line in the world or if I'm just spotting an oasis in the desert. It's addictive this testing isn't it?
I'm new to this board by the way... Just feeling a bit obsessive and addicted to the whole testing thing! Need to get a grip. But how?????

PMSL at drawing in your own line....

NJ - trying to find the bit on POAS where you can look at other tests... you know which heading it's under?

Just looked myself and I can't find the page I was on about, I am sure they used to have a page with a load of evap.line pic's next to BFP pic's

If you look under the FAQ page there is a picture of an evap. line on there.

When did the line you are seeing come up? Was it within the time limit?

Thanks - will check it out.
Yes the line was within the time but so so so so faint - and skinny! They are all lovely, chunky, fat crosses in the picture! Even the faint ones. I think I will just have to wait and test again in the morning. Or in a few days if I can wait. (Who am I kidding????) Or maybe show it to my DH before I waste another test because of my imaginary lines madness!
Thanks for all your help everyone! I shall pop over to your thread to say Hi NJ.

Hi imaginarybluelines don't want to make you stare at it even longer but I got a bfp on Clear Blue last month on CD27, the line was really skinny, pale blue and to one side like you described. Took a first response and it was much easier to see that it was + even though faint. Good luck!

Goddamnyou pixsix - and I had managed to put it down and everything! Am all freshly excited again now. Maybe skinny isn't so bad after all then? Thanks for info!
Congratulations to you though! Fantastic news!

Hope you get the answer you want soon

Don't worry about the thickness, a line is a line

Congrats pixsix

Thanks NJ good luck this month.

Thank you

Grrrrrr. So this morning has made thing even more unclear! The test looked (albein incredibly faint yet again!) more like the one Belgo mentioned yest - with the top half of the cross but not the bottom! Grrrrrrrrr.
So that's really helped things!
Weird as yesterdays looks so much more like a positive than todays, yet I tested yest at about 1.30 in the afternoon, and tested today 1st thing in the morning. So that probably means neg I guess.
Step away from the tests imaginary (repeat mantra to self)

Take a pic, take a pic, take a pic

The battery in my camera is dead I am afraid. And it is so faint I bet you wouldn't see it in a picture. It's just all so frustrating. Which are the best tests to use do you think, as these are very unclear? Or maybe I am just testing too early.

What tests are you using?

I think First Response's are the best, although they are not fool proof, even when your period is due.

With DS2 I didn't get a BFP until I was 9 days late, I think I bought every type of test available in that time, the first one that showed up BFP was those Predictor ones, but from what I have read on here, people don't rate them much.

clear blue. I will lkeave it a while longer before testing again. It is just soooooooo hard to do. I am so impatient!

BTW, as an aside, do I 'know' you on MN, your style seems very much like someone, but I can't put my finger on who!

Clearblue is known for being pretty crap when it comes to early testing.

Go and get a couple of FR's they are your best bet.

no - I don't think so. I am a newbie really or a bit of a lurker who is a newbie to posting anyhow...Thanks for listening to my ramblings! It's amazing how the need to know just takes over. At least I have got a busy afternoon planned to distract me! Which I am sure will involve popping to the supermarket for more tests!

Oh I see, well it doesn't matter, because I have been racking my brains to try and think of who your style reminds me of, and I can't remember!

Well the supermarkets close at 4 don't forget And don't be lured by the cheaper test's, FR or nothing!!
