No, negative sorry

Definitely no second line!

I think I can kind of see if but I don't know if I'm imagining it there. If you're one day late I would have expected any line to be more visible

Urgh - so I see what you are seeing. But I think this is still a negative test. When it’s that faint you just can’t take anything from it yet. Remember there is something on the line that needs to react if it’s positive - so once you start looking that intensely it could just be that material you are seeing.

hopefully tomorrow or the next day will give you some certainty.

Okay I have an update and it looks slightly darker in the next day? I am only 10 days post ovulation today so could it be okay that it is still so faint. Harder to see in pictures but definitely there.

Do you mean the same test looks darker the next day or that you took another one? If it’s the same one I’d discount it as a lot of tests get darker lines when left.

Also do you have quite a short luteal phase? If you are already a day late but only 10dpo the next day do you mean your luteal phase is normally only 8 days? It doesn’t always mean an issue for everyone but is on the shorter side.
