can alcohol effect FMU - how faint a line can you get?

I feel like a right idiot starting this, have name-changed mostly because I don't want to look like a fool.

I am, according to Fertility Friend, 13DPO. Though this is based only on EWCM as I didn't monitor anything else this month so I am guessing ovulation could have been as much as 2 days later than FF says. FF suggests that my test day is tomorrow. I am not late yet.

I tested about 4 days ago (I know, I know!) and got a definite negative but this morning I tested again (clear Blue but not Digital) and within seconds I got the very strong blue control line and then within the two minutes what I think is a very very faint line crossing through it.

Last night before I went to bed I drank a can of lager so was wondering, could alcohol affect the urine in so much that the line could be really faint, or even cause a false positive?

I know I should go and get another test and test again tomorrow but I am inclined to just wait and see if my period is late. I know that people say a line is a line but it was just so faint I think my eyes are just deceiving me because I want this so much.

I keep telling myself to not be so stupid but am just wondering how faint a line other people have got and still been pregnant.I have always assumed a line would be very obvious to the naked eye.

It was a bit like this and not an evaporation line as I read it within 2 minutes.

I am expecting that within hours of posting this my period will come. I have no other symptoms apart from a bad back and getting very hot at night(which I assumed was a sign my period is coming) ....
TIA

oh my, no news. Period not shown up. I don't know why but I had the idea that the digital ones were less effective in the early stages? Is that wrong?

I am really going to try to hold out until Saturday morning and didn't save my pee from this morning so won't test tonight.

Thanks for going on this journey with me

Well with 2 tests with faint lines on so far - that does sound like good news. Will keep checking back for updates!

Sounds positive to me too - I had the same thing with all my pregnancies - tested REALLY early and was getting vvv faint positives - the line was so faint that it only came up in certain lights and was sure I was just convincing myself there was something there (now 3.6 and 1.7) - good luck - keeping everything double crossed !
