Think I am out!

Just that really. Have had multiple negative internet cheapie tests. I got one positive which came up straight away at 11dpo, but tested again this morning at 12dpo which is negative. Symptoms are currently sore breasts, nausea, fatigue and cramps.

Feel sad after a bit of false hope!

You may get a better result with evening pee strangely. Was the line very faint?

Hi! Yes it was very faint. I thought I had been seeing a line for a while but it was a real squinter. This was the first line I didn't have to observe carefully 🤣 and was taken in the evening!

I feel so horrendous, I'm either pregnant (🤞) or a really evil period is on its way!

On my last pregnancy, I didn't test before 16dpo as had no idea I was pregnant and it was still a fairly light positive on a blue dye test until the next couple days. This time I'm using pink dye!

A bit of an update,

So I have so far done 2 FRER which are completely negative. Have had mixed results over the last couple days on internet cheapies.

Did a set of cheapies last night which all had a very faint line on. Decided to do a FRER (negative result) and a set of cheapies with FMU this morning and they all had a line on. I've seen the make of tests I am using have had bad reviews recently for false positives. However I conducted a bit of a science experiment and have dipped three in tap water, not one has a glint of a line. Next step is getting my DP to do one 🤣 I'll attach the photos, the lighter lines were from last night, the darker lines being this morning.

Obviously I'm trusting the FR, but the lines are getting darker on the cheapies and more regular- every one I do is having it come up. I am lost!

I have irregular long cycles but think I ovulated around two weeks ago based on symptoms so should be due my period any day...

Anyway, depending on the outcome, this can be a bit of a PSA not to trust all the tests on the market!

I love the experiment! The right side tests look pretty distinctly positive to me. I'm in a similar boat to you at the moment. I am now 4 days late and getting a whiff of a line but nothing exciting given how late I am.

We're not out until AF arrives though, but I have a feeling if she does it's going to be a horrendous one 🫣

@Steamedhams I did three one step this morning and they are now all negative :( I have a feeling they were accurate though, as made my partner do one and it was negative! I was testing positive up until yesterday evening though they got fainter but this morning they are stark white. All preg symptoms that I have had since before Christmas have gone too over the last few days so wonder if it was a chemical? As you say though- not out until AF shows!

What tests are you using? Could you have ovulated later than thought?

With my last pregnancy I had strong lines by the time of my missed period, which makes me worry and think I am out this month!

I'm using cheap amazon tests. Looks like a faint but stronger line this morning. I'm nearly a week late though. Maybe could have been a late ovulation but I would be surprised as there's definitely an activity that needs to happen in order to get pregnant and I'm not sure we hit that window if it was late.

How are things going?

@Steamedhams

How are things today for you? Hoping that line is getting a bit darker! Have you tried a on a different type of test as you may get better results? Also I totally get what you mean!

Sadly I started bleeding today. Relieved in someways as I tested negative days ago and just seemed to be waiting for it to start- onto the next cycle now 🥰
