1dpo, anyone else?

[Emiily887]

Back at the start of another TWW… anyone else at the same point and fancy being TWW buddies?
We have tried the SMEP method and conceive plus lubricant this month, time will tell if they have made a difference!🤞🏼

@Bb542 definitely a line!! Looks like the one I had with my son at 10 dpo (see pic), took a few days to get properly visible. I'm sure you'll get a better line tomorrow!!

Can someone describe what an indent line might look like? I did another this afternoon and saw my almost invisible line again but surely I can’t have had 3 indents?

@LuxyLocket can you try doing a test with water? If the line still appears regardless then it's an indent/evap, if not then I'd say you're onto something!

@owlcat24 ooooh this makes total sense! Will def try that thank you x

Ooh what a good idea!

Thanks @owlcat24 @Emiily887 ❤️ hopefully you're right. The last two times I was pregnant I had strong lines by 10dpo so I think that's why I'm struggling to believe something might be there 😫 but I had to have surgery for my missed miscarriage in July so maybe things are different now 🤞🏼 how are you both doing?

@LuxyLocket I think indents normally don't have any colour in them.

This is an excellent idea. I'm doing to do that now.

Thanks @Littlebean25 too ❤️ sorry I thought I tagged you 🤣

For anyone using easy@home my friend (who did so much research into everything when she was ttc) tells me it’s very rare to get indents on them and they have very good reviews.

im at some friends which is a nice distraction but I know im gonna do a test with water tonight to suss out for any indents

@Bb542 I’m feeling exactly the same, this time last time I tested in what would be 2 days from now but I had a very visable line on an hcg strip that was 25mi. If my 10mi are barely showing a line I’m not getting too hopeful. If I am pregnant it’s the slowest building hcg ever

Currently doing science experiment now... one test with water and the other with wee 🤣 both developing as I type this. I will keep you all updated 😂

Yes keep us updated! I will be doing this tonight!

@Emiily887 did you have a go with your cheapy tests yet?

All this testing has encouraged me 🤦‍♀️

Put too much urine on the test hoping it would be stronger and flooded the last test in the house 😭 At least the whole thing is bright pink and not stark white 🤣 Off to boots for some more experiments!

We've all lost the plot 😂 can't believe I'm wasting pregnancy tests for science 🤣 the water test is stark white so far...

🤣🤣🤣 oh dear. I support you and your POAS addiction 😂

Ooh well that's good news isn't it?!

I will test again tonight as I'm too impatient to wait until tomorrow 😂 was out of the house all day so that kept me a bit distracted. I have been feeling quite nauseous at various points today but it's probably nothing. Also spotting again so chances are, it's AF (although I did spot at around 11-12dpo in my last pregnancy too so who knows...)

Done a boots strip and a clear & simple, both have the same shadow mark as the easy@ home but it’s still almost invisible!! Although these are 25miu. So I’m either getting a ton of indents, I’ve not long implanted or it’s a chemical. Question is, which one😭

I'm in the exact same boat 💔 so frustrating. Hopefully we'll have a clearer answer tomorrow 👀

That is re assuring @Emiily887 but let’s hope it’s not a chemical or indent.

I think there's is a little indent on the water test so I'm officially counting myself as out this cycle. Hopefully AF comes soon so I can move on from this cycle.

Question, so I’ve just gone back through the thread to check when I had the sharp quick pains, it was Thursday around 2ish, so if that was implantation that means I’d have only implanted Thursday at the earliest. Is it 48-72 hours for hcg to rise enough? Maybe it’s still just too early??🥲 in which case….rip to all the hours I’ve spent examining my science experiments since 7dpo🤣

@Bb542 noooo you’re joking! Did it come up in the time frame? As my ‘is it isn’t it’ last night was in the time frame, same with the boots one. This morning’s I thought was negative then thought I had lime eyes so not too sure on that one.
Your lines do look too convincing to be indents surely ☹️

Just dipped the boots one in water…no indent😱

I don’t get how an indent line would happen. Is it more grey tinged? My ‘lines’ look the same thickness that the line should be and it’s in the right place… I can’t really tell if they look grey or not.

yeah the frustration is starting to sink in now as at this point in my cycle I would have hoped for darker lines like I had last time.

Sometimes you can get an indent in just water. I think basically if you put a magnifying glass on a test there will often be a tiny indent where the test line is meant to form, because it has the chemical/detection stuff in a line there.

You'd never get a clear, thick line as an indent though. But for a 'is it there isn't it' line it could be. Indent lines will never have colour, or be highly visible from what I understand. So yes it'd be very faint and also grey
