Indent line or positive?

26 replies

ettc12344556 · 11/09/2023 18:20

Hi, some advice please!
Just taken the 2 tests below.. I am 7/8DPO (I think as I didn't use the ovulation tests this month, but was on my 2nd round of letrozole)
Do you think this is an indent line or a true positive? Second test too faint to see on photo!
Thank you!!

I see something for sure. I’m going to be annoying though and say to wait and test tomorrow to see if the line is clearer!

lavendersbluedillydilly12 · 11/09/2023 19:51

It looks positive to me. I'd wait a couple of days and do a digital!

PickledScrump · 11/09/2023 21:47

7/8 DPO is really early and these tests are notorious for evaps. Wait until at least 10 DPO and get a pink dye early test like the boots own one. Should give you a better answer

Chloe2599 · 12/09/2023 07:54

I’ve had a few evap lines on those clearblues and yours doesn’t look like any of mine did so I would be feeling positive if I were you!!

deffinately think the pink dye are better though maybe try a pink dye on your urine that’s been in the bladder for 3/4 hours!! Do you have any symptoms? Xx

Thanks all!
These are todays tests.. still very very faint, although, they show do a faint line / shadow very quickly and seem to get darker after an hour.
Really unsure if this is an indent line or if it could be an early positive. I've taken a few tests from different packs which all show the same - are indents common...?
I have had sore veiny boobs but could be my period coming..?
I don't want to get my hopes up too much!

Get a pink dye test from boots hun and do it tomorrow morning on your first wee. I can deffo see lines surely they can’t all have indents? Have you tried taking them apart and see if you can still see a line on the actual strip ?

keep us posted, I’m currently 5dpo on month 8 it TTC with a MC in June. Lots of opportunity for us this month 🙏🏼

@Chloe2599 I thought the same... but just don't want to get my hopes up and be disappointed. I have - and there are faint lines on the strip.
I did a pink dye from boots this morn but it was negative unfortunately . I will get another tomorrow morning (fingers crossed!)

Sending baby dust to you too! <3 hopefully this is our month!

They looked like mine did when I was pregnant. I tested 4 days before AF was due as my boobs all of a sudden felt heavy. Congratulations 🎊

mushroomushroom · 13/09/2023 06:09

Not to disappoint you but more to chime in on the "get a different brand of test", here were false positives/evaps I had on a clearblue. I won't use them again unless I've missed a period.

I really hope you get your bfp 🥰

Indent line or positive?
Chloe2599 · 13/09/2023 07:07

This was my evap line when I had one but it’s a lot thinner then a normal line that’s how I could tell I would say yours looks similar that mine below wouldn’t you?

im going to use pink dye this time. Maybe try wait another 2 days ( I know that’s the hardest thing in the world)

keep us posted 😃 xx

Morning, thanks again everyone.
I tested again this morning & its still very very faint. I'm thinking I may be out for the month as surely my HCG levels would be rising if I was pregnant?
I have taken about 8 tests now! All of which have a line on them (darker once left for a while) , I'm not feeling very positive but , surely not every test could have an indent !?!? I did a boots pink dye this morn, this was negative.
Should I count myself out for this month...? X

Excuse the obsessive testing! But... could all of these be indents?!😩 so confused.

7/8 days past ovulation is still really early. I dont think all those tests could be indents. Was the other test you took an early detection one?

Hi @Stephy1024 - thank you. So as I didn't track my ovulation, I'm not 100% certain now many dpo I am.. but I reckon I am now about 9dpo. The boots one was early detection but was negative today.
Feeling so confused and inpatient! X

Those are positive tests in that last photo OP, maybe you’re just really early.
Can you get a pink dye test or digital? Blue dye tests are notorious for being iffy. But false positives are rare, those last couple of tests have clear blue lines

alittleadvicepls · 14/09/2023 04:21

That bottom test is defo positive I’d say?

jolaylasofia · 14/09/2023 04:33

they are positive, it's highly unlikely all of those tests have evap/indent lines

turtle8919 · 14/09/2023 05:30

Get a first response test. Blue dyes are notoriously bad for Evap lines

Pollywoddles · 14/09/2023 05:39

Stop using the Clearblues, the lines in them don’t look right at all, too thin and varying colour. Don’t let them mess with your head. Only go with the pink dye ones, I believe the Boots ones have a good name, and wait until your period is due.

Believe me, I understand the compulsion to test but this angst is not worth it.

If you’re on Letrozole are you being monitored at all? I used to be scanned and then I’d take a trigger so it took all the guesswork out of it.

Year13novice · 14/09/2023 05:42

Surely all those clear blues can’t be wrong! They all have visible lines.

This. All my clear blue tests looked like that (especially once they'd been out for a while) and I wasn't pregnant, they're terrible for evaps

justanothermanicmonday1 · 14/09/2023 05:52

Here was my clear blue when I was a few days. I always take a FRER test alongside just in case! Good luck keep us posted xx

Hi all, so I spoke with my fertility clinic who confirmed that it would be unusual to get so many 'false positives / Ident lines' , so they advised i wait a few days I test this morning and unfortunately it's definitely negative.
They said it would have most likely been a very early chemical pregnancy.
Waiting for AF and will try again next month..
thanks for all your help! X
