Always very faint positives?

[Anon347]

Hi
Im wondering if anyone can help me.
My periods are irregular, however this month straight after my last period ended i ovulated about 3 days later (or so i think) confirmed with ovulation signs and Positive opks.

3dpo did a cheapy test and got faint positive🤔. 8dpo did another test and faint positive (in between these two dates negatives but i took it as too early anyway). 9dpo not preg clearblue digutal but opened it and had 3 very visible lines, the test line had came up but quite dark but not enough for the test to pick up as pregnant🤷🏻‍♀️ 10dpo faint positive frer followed by then negatives 11dpo 12dpo etc.

On 14dpo i had tiny bit of blood mixed in cm only for about maybe 2 hours which i thought was start of my period as i got negatives after postives and thought was yet another chemical. However no period no bleeding since.

16dpo another faint positive on a cheapy
But then today was very very very faint maybe even a negative.

What could this mean? Why am i getting all these positive yet nothing? Why am i getting negatives yet no period?

Also in tww i had alot of symptoms. Always feeling dizzy, tiredness, headaches, fuller breast, etc etc

Also need to mention they are not evap lines as they come up in time frame and i retested the tests with water which is supposed to get rid of dried up evap line and if a line remains (which mine do) then they arw deffo positive. I would attach pics but dont know how..

I took a frer a couple of hours ago and a faint positive🤔 although iv heard frer are really bad for indent lines and false positives. Help!

If you get a positive on FRER it's fairly likely it is a postive. But the only thing you can do is wait for a few days and test again. I didn't test postive on clear blue until a week after FRER

Thankyou so much for the reply this waiting game is such a nuisence 😩 what makes it worse are the mixed results😕

I will be buying a clear blue to give my mind a rest. Cant help but think the frer are unrelaiable.

I actually preferred the bargain basement cheapies from tesco. I don't like the clear blue. I got all postive on the cheap ones at the same time as the FRER. It will hard to wait but do wait even a couple more days. And try your 1st morning urine.

@JLQ1020 yes i also had positives on the tesco ones.

How far along are you if you dont mind me asking?
Hope it all goes smoothly for you 😊

11 weeks today. I've my 12 week scan week after next.

This is such a hard thing to go through. Just my experience - when I was TTC, I saw a lot of lines and faint positives that I convinced myself were real and not indents. But when you get true positives they are usually very clear. Even FRER can have indents that look pink (trust me, I’ve had them). They aren’t as reliable as they used to be.

I was obsessed with testing and this subreddit r/TFABLinePorn was so helpful for me. So so so so many photos of tests and information and a generally really supportive user base. Not that mumsnet isn’t but there are a LOT of photos and stories and knowledge on there.

@JLQ1020aww so hally for you. Congratulations and hope it all goes well ❤

@sheusesmagazines thankyou for your reply ❤ yes i am now kind of at that stage i dont believe them faint lines as my line is not getting darker or progressing so surely cant be hcg. I still havnt got my period i am now 20 dpo and 6 days late.
Hopefully get a real positove soon.

Il have a look on that too thankyou.
