Hey ladies - yesterday, and the day before, I thought I had what was faint positives. I posted about it to get opinions, and I even got congratulated. Today, I've taken tests - and negative. I'm feeling so confused and so discouraged, has anybody been in a similar position?
I'll attach the tests below. The Boots test is from today. Thank you x
Ps I am aware that the top test in the one photo is a dye run.

The Boots ones are crap. I wouldn’t rely on them for so early DPO. It’s still so early that many fluctuations can happen so don’t lose hope yet. Also my tests were always darker in the middle of the day, never in the morning.

Okay so it's still early to test. Maybe give it 2 days and test again with a FRER?

Thank you so much, both of you, I appreciate you taking the time to respond x

It’s still really early, so fingers crossed it develops into something for you! This is why I stopped testing early, because I used to drive myself mad with false hope that clearly never was anything. I know it’s so hard to do, but The month I got my BFP I didn’t test until AF was 5 days late, because I became too scared to test and was preparing myself for another negative as I’d been a few days late before for no reason and still got BFN. Best of luck to you! 🤞 xxx

I have had this happen before, I took a test late afternoon and it looked like a slight line if you squinted so I took another the next day, a first thing in the morning one thinking it would be more obvious and it was negative. Well she’s 8 now and I didn’t get an obvious line until after I was late.
