Faint line

Hey guys, so I put a post up accidentally forgot to crop things out. So putting it up, cropped this time. Hopefully a faint line in the pic? Took it first thing this morning (I'm 7dpo) but nothing this afternoon so I'm guessing not enough HCG. Thanks everyone

Definitely looks like a positive to me! Hcg tends to always be higher in the morning so that'll be why, do another in the morning. Congrats!

Thank you. I've been trying all night to hold of doing another one haha, definitely doing one in the morning. I really hope I am.

Yes I saw it straight away! And usually I'm shocked by the amount of people that apparently see a (non existent) line-I think I have a higher threshold so hopefully that's encouraging for you!

Does it have colour? I see a line but looks grey which would indicate an evap. If it is a positive you are further than 7dpo as that is too early for a positive test.

I did another one this morning but I peed too much onto the stick but it's an extremely faint on this one. I should have used a cup instead

@Mummybear2205 the strip tests should be dipped in a cup not used directly under the stream anyway. If you can do a urine hold for at least 4 hours you should still get the same result, hcg only tends to be higher in the morning because you haven’t done a wee all night.

I will try again in a few hours, hold of the drinks haha. I'll keep you updated
