Line eyes please! Am I going mad? 9DPO

Hi all,

I don’t know if I’ve been testing for too many months so completely lost the ability to know a positive from a stark white!

I’m 8/9 DPO. Had no symptoms so thought I was out and poured myself a nice glass of wine after a busy day. Thought I’d best double check so took a cheapy internet test just now.

I think I can see a shadow which came up within 4 mins but can anyone else see it? Just need to know if I can enjoy my red or pour it away?!

Can't see anything but too early to test.

LucyLou0527 · 17/02/2025 21:15

I’d be straight to the petrol station for a CB ultra early😂

Well…update from this morning, can definitely see something VVF though and not darker than yesterday. Could these be a faulty batch? They are the Wondfo ones. I’m either 9 or 10 dpo now so I know super early and I’m not due AF for another 7 days!

Hey @Suburbandreams we're in the same boat! I am 8 or 9 possibly DPO and have some line eyes. IME these cheapies don't give evaps - if there's something catching your eye it's there! here's mine this AM

Hi, ahhh it’s so hard isn’t it?! This is the first inkling I’ve had of a line since last July so I’m praying it turns into a full blown BFP. I’m driving myself mad googling though, am a bit concerned because I’ve seen Wondfo giving false positives.

are you going to try another brand?

OP posts:
MakeMeJuno · 18/02/2025 12:09

@Suburbandreams I have some digitals but not going to use those until I have a solid line. With my CP I tried all the brands but just going with these cheapie easy@home ones - I used them last month and had total stark white BFN the whole time so feeling like I know the difference?!

So sorry to hear you've been on this rollercoaster a while - sending lots of love it's so so hard.

I couldn't resist doing another!

Thank you, and sorry about your CP. I’ve had one of those and I know how hard they are. I definitely see a line on yours! And I hear you about CB, I’m gonna wait a bit longer until I buy one of those and keep using the cheapies for at least a few more days. I’m tentatively hopeful as that’s last night AND this morning where I’ve seen something!

No not my first, I also have a 12 year old who was entirely unplanned! You?

I’ve just stuck my tests down to compare and I can definitely see something now, just hoping they continue to get darker. I also caved and bought some cheapy Premom stick ones- they caught my miscarriage at 10DPO so hoping they catch this (hopefully sticky) bean!

Just tagging along as I am 9dpo, negative this morning and felt like AF has been coming all day (has arrived 10dpo last two cycles) but I’m sure something has caught my eye this evening (although not showing on camera). We’ll see what tomorrow brings!

@Suburbandreams I can definitely see a line on your last test, fingers crossed for you!

@Suburbandreams this would be my first! How exciting for you.

@fluffmoross how did you get on this morning? Fingers crossed!

No denying my result this morning... still very early days so trying not to get excited

@MakeMeJuno That’s looking great!!
Still not convinced either way this morning, I’m sure I can see something 👀 will probably do a test with every wee today 😂

Show quote history

@MakeMeJuno that’s a brilliant result! I’m slightly disappointed with mine, was expecting more colour but can still deffo see something.

it’s so hard not to get excited, this is the first sign of anything for me since my MC in July/August and have been desperate to see a line!

Omg?!? SMU, there’s definitely something there!! Did a test just with water too and not a smidge of anything.

When/ have you all told your partners??

LucyLou0527 · 19/02/2025 11:05

Ladies sorry if it’s too personal but I was wondering which days you DTD? This month I have decided to just do every other day in my fertile window, usually we do pretty much every day so wondered if it would help x

MakeMeJuno · 19/02/2025 11:15

Thank you @fluffmoross I see that! Hoping it darkens for you too. Not told DH yet - he has a busy week and up and out early doors but we both WFH Friday so I will hopefully have a nice digital to show him.

@Suburbandreams you're still sooo early - that looks ok to me but I understand the worry!! Some people don't show until post AF due.

@LucyLou0527 nothing too personal here lol we DTD O-4, O-2 and O-1. This is the same as December when I fell. Last month (didn't fall) we managed more, but didn't catch O-1 - we did 24 hours AFTER my lH peak, so technically ov day but I know I had already ovulated as had signs. It's purely anecdotal from me but I truly believe the most important is to catch O-2 and then as close to your peak as possible.
