I got this faint line yesterday (9 DPO) after around 15 minutes, it was an evap line as I got a BFN this morning but I still want to have hope for tomorrow. AF is due 12th.

Hi everyone, just hopping on! Very unlikely that I’m pregnant as my son is an IVF baby and we didn’t get pregnant naturally in 5 years 🥴 but I’d love another one! Trying naturally for now for a while before we go ahead with a frozen embryo transfer. I’m not sure if I even got a positive OPK, the day we did the deed (CD13) the lines had significantly darkened (does that mean I will have ovulated at some point?!) but then we went away for a few days and I didn’t test, so not sure if I got my positive thay day or the day after. So I’m basically very much probably not pregnant, but I’m crazy so here I am ☺️ currently on CD21 and hoping I’m 8PO 🤔 7DPO maybe. Hoping for BFNs for you all ❤️

Omg I just realised I said hoping for BFNs instead of BFPs 🤦🏻‍♀️

Okay so I have taken another test today - am I going mad or is there a faint line? X

I see a line @CoolBananas21 ! Congratulations x

DogMum99 · 06/01/2025 22:03

So after coming off the pill in November, and having my first period just before Christmas - I've finally gotten my OPK! It's felt like a long time coming!!

Is there a February support group up yet? Just wondering as I’m due my period next week and if it comes I was just wondering if I could pop onto the next one x

Hen2000 · 07/01/2025 06:30

@CoolBananas21 definitely see a line and my phone is still on eye rest mode!

9dpo here and my lh is rising. Anyone else get this? I wasn't planning on testing but after a rise in lh I did a test. There is an incredibly faint line more of a shadow really I don't think it's visible in photos. I don't feel pregnant no symptoms but I also don't normally have lh rising

Just saw your test too! I had a faint line last month so not getting too excited yet but lh didn't rise so much. Keeping my fingers crossed as we are both so early still! 9dpo for me today
10dpo for you?

This was me, 2 days ago! It feels like it takes forever doesn’t it?

Can anyone see a shadow or have I got line eye lol

Have been following along this thread and had counted myself out as wanted to relax over xmas and we only dtd 5 days before ovulation- AF due in 2 days but I had a vvfl yesterday and does look darker today? Had been completely stark negative 10dpo and 11dpo. would be absolutely astonishing if this turns out to be real. Trying not to get hopes up as so faint for 12 + 13dpo but will keep testing

Congratulations to OP @MyGardenDaisies and all the other BFPs 🥰

Morning everyone

DH and I had a half arsed attempt in December. We tried evening of day 15 and 16. Half arsed because my cycle ended up being 30 days so MIL was here so we couldn't get down to serious business.
Anyway, I don't know how long my cycle is this month because of the surprise 30 day one last month, and I never did any ovulation tests.
I did a couple of pregnancy tests over the weekend and all came back nil point. I assumed it was a no for this month so didn't bother yesterday. This morning felt a bit sicky/nauseous so I gave it another go and there appears to be two lines. Now I was trying to wrestle a clingy toddler who as soon as she knows mummy is doing something will want to be on my lap.
I thought I saw a faint line in all the chaos and I managed to get a photo a bit later but I'm not certain it was within five minutes. So while there's a line I'm cautious of it being an evap line given that I couldn't have a proper look until probably after five minutes.

Do evap lines look different to positive lines?

I have one DD, who is my rainbow baby so I'm extremely cautious.
Today is day 27 of my cycle.

BerrieSweet · 07/01/2025 08:58

@Hen2000 Fingers crossed! 11 DPO today and BFN, I have accepted that it may not happen this cycle but I am hopeful for the next cycle instead! Havent gotten my AF yet tho, Its due tomorrow 🥰

Hen2000 · 07/01/2025 09:04

@floralcat it definitely looks darker to me!

@wisher88 I see something on there too! I would definitely test again. I've read that evap normally have no colour to them so don't look even faintly pink. I've had a few faint tests before and period has come but I also had really faint tests that have progressed too.

@berriesweet I'm glad you feel relaxed about it. We are too this month. Due to sickness we only dtd once which was 3 days before ovulation I think

Wisher88 · 07/01/2025 09:19

Thank you. Am I crazy to be thinking of using a digital test for my second wee of the day??

NHS says you can apparently test any time of the day but I suspect that's on the basis of waiting two full weeks. If I was to guess my DPO it would probably be about 11 or 12.

SarahB88 · 07/01/2025 09:28

Pretty sure I had a positive progesterone test this morning. Although I must have rubbish line eyes as I can’t see anything on anyones tests they’ve popped on today 🙈 so I’ll test again tomorrow and maybe the day after too just to confirm there’s definitely not a second line and it’s positive.

Still very bloated and getting some cramps. My boobs have ballooned as well which isn’t normal for me unless pregnant but don’t want to get my hopes up and I am sticking to my guns of no tests day AF is due next week.

Wisher88 · 07/01/2025 09:44

Well I am cautiously excited. Tested again with a digital one with my second wee of the day. BFP.
I don't think I'll quite celebrate until I get to about 10 weeks but fingers crossed this one is for keeps ❤️

Hi Ladies
Congratulations to those getting BFP today.

I’m currently 12DPO but two days late on my period.
I had bad cramps Friday night/Saturday morning so was convinced AF was coming but she’s yet to arrive… I’ve had a very very small amount of brown spotting which I NEVER get before AF.

I have tested but it’s BFN using those super cheap (£1) strips. I’m going to wait until the weekend when I do a food shop to get a proper test. Please can you tell me which ones are the best to buy?

I fell in limbo, I’ve gone through all the emotions since Saturday… am I arnt I?! I guess I’ll just wait and see 🤞.

ThatSnugSwan · 07/01/2025 10:54

@KittyFantastica Oh my god how exciting 😍 This is amazing. How many dpo are you? Keep us updated
