Of course I really want the BFP but it's faint and what I think was implantation was only 3 days ago. I want to get excited, I'm probably torturing myself by taking that test. It was faint and I wasn't sure if it was in the right place but I rang the manufacturers and they said it was in the right place but I should wait a couple more days.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Nope, but good luck for when you do take another test (easier said than done, but try and leave it at least a week - ten days is better, as otherwise you'll become obsessed and still need to keep doing tests!)

Such a shame you can't simply tell the day after isn't it?!

Haha--seriously, who hasn't been there.
I say a faint positive is just as well as a big fat one, as long as its not overactive imagination. You didn't use one of those supercheap little coated paperstrips from ebay, did you? They tend to give a faint second line when the pee dries for no reason at all. All the normal tests with plastic around should not give false positives.

I am going through this too. Feel pregnant (already have DD so know the signs and period late. Done 3 tests now 2 neg and one faint. Sarted bleeding a bit today so feeling a bit :-(

sophie86 is it a thin line or a fat line? When I tested a few months back and wasn't pregnant I had a thin greyish line on a cheap test strip, it was just an evaporation line. I had a faint bfp last week, the difference was that the line was pink and wide (as wide as the test line) though very faint.

Fingers crossed for you!

I had exactly the same experience as you; faint line, implantation bleed, then I had a few BFN's, waited a week, then got a BFP!!!

Good luck xx
