These are 11 and 12 dpo (from my best guess based on only tracking my CM on Kindara). 11 dpo was taken with 2MU and 12 dpo (was FMU). Liking the progression I'm seeing of the darkness of the line. Still cannot even believe it!
The first test I took was a stick cheapie. Didn't believe the faint line because I thought it was defective, I had to redip it after a few seconds when the dye didn't move so I figured naaaaah it's broke So I took a FRER, a Target generic and another cheapie right away and BAM! BFP! I took a digital the next morning as well. Couldn't believe it, first ever BFPs!
I'm not sure why the cheapie sticks are so faint, maybe not as sensitive or maybe because they expired a few months ago. Who knows. That's why I was in disbelief.
@simplysmith09 & @Kaytee1087 I had a Mirena between my two boys. I had it removed 09/23 and had a positive test on 11/09. Heathy pregnancy and DS2 is now 18 months old. The stories can be scary, but a lot of people have no issues after removal. Best wishes to both of you.
You guys...I'm shaking as I type this. Is this what I think? I just read that both these test can have faint positives so I don't know if I should get excited yet or not?! Going to go get a digital as soon as I can
I took four, yes FOUR tests and they were ALL positive. The first two I took were from the dollar store and the two lines showed up immediately, I still was hesitant so I went to Walmart and bought the two pack of First Response tests one with the lines and one was digital. There were two lines but one was very faint, then the digital popped up with a yes! As long as you don't wait longer than the recommended time to peek at the test, you should get an accurate reading, whether one line is faint or not, if there are two lines there you are pregnant! I posted the picture of the First Response test because it shows a faint line, but I am pregnant. I'll be 9 weeks tomorrow! Hope this helps!
I'm in my 2nd trimester now but happened to see this thread and figured I'd add mine.
This is is my BFP at about 4.5 weeks pregnant. As you can see, no squinting needed - it appeared super fast (before the control line had even come up) and super strong. This was done with FMU.
A few hours later, I tested with the digital that came in the box.
Thought I'd share mine too Waited until 10dpo (which was the first day of my missed period). Used an Accuclear test first (left) then a dollar tree test (right). Really faint lines. Retested 14dpo and it was super clear!
Starting from the top : 11 DPO PM, 11 DPO PM, 12 DPO PM, 13 DPO PM (FMU doesn't always work well for me for some reason) and then a digital on 14 DPO AM (today ).
I have had two different people tell me there's a very very faint line and I am pretty sure I can see it but I can't be certain anyone else see it or is it just us? Please help
@Babyfever92 I'm afraid I agree with @br0co1ii and @mjolk, that photo looks negative. I'd re-test if I were you as my first FRER at 9dpo was super faint and the second line was not visible when photographed.

I feel like I see something but I feel like it's because I've been staring at it for so long! Lol RETEST
With my first pregnancy, I had a dollar store test that was faint pink line. I didn't know I could even get pregnant, so it was a bit of a shock. With this one, again, three dollar store tests - three positives. Each day significantly darker line than the last. I was told there is no such thing as a false positive, although you can get a false negative if you test early.
TTC since 2004,
Ectopic 2005, lost right tube.
Multiple miscarriages. Baby girl born June 2013.
Had blood test done on the 19th and it came back negative. For some reason i woke up two days ago feeling like I needed to take a test. Sure enough, got my BFP! Period was 3 days late at this point. These tests are the ones I took that evening because my fiance didn't think the Amazon cheapie test was reliable. All turned positive instantly! Due in November.
Ok guys so I took a couple digital tests and they came up negative but my ovulation tests keep popping up positive. I ovulated on the 20th so I shouldn't be getting positive still on an opk I have never had it happen before so Idk what to think someone help this is getting depressing

OPKs measure a surge in LH. You can have an LH surge at any time in your cycle and not ovulate. I would take an FRER as that will most likely turn positive before a Digi as they're more sensitive. Test every few days until a BFP or AF. Good luck!

We're you temping to confirm ovulation or just using opk's? If you were just using opk's you may be gearing up to ovulate now. Also, what @MRSCORKER said. Try again tomorrow or the day after with a different test if AF hasn't shown up. Digital tests are usually a little less sensitive than some of the others. A couple days wait should tell you either way.
I was testing to. Confirm ovulation so that I can have a baby. I figured the lines would be gone by now but I wasn't sure. I've tested after ovulation before but it's never been positive this long before
@Babyfever92 were you taking your temperature every day though? How do you know for sure that you ovulated on the 20th? Opk's alone can't tell you that. Only charting your bbt can. Like I said, you may not have ovulated yet.
But normally when the opk hits positive it's like that for a few days after that then it's negative again
Since it's still positive, and you mentioned ewcm, you are probably fertile now. I would highly recommend lurking over on the Trying To Get Pregnant board and learning from those ladies. Once you've read the newbie threads over there and participate in some of the weekly discussions, you'll learn sooooo much. Like how opk's don't tell you if you've actually ovulated or not. The only measure a surge in lh which means "you may ovulate soon." Some people ovulate but don't get positive opk's either.
I caution you to not just go posting over there without reading the newbie threads and getting familiar with how the board works. They have tons of info, but prefer if you contribute to the conversation and not start new threads for things that have been asked a million times already.
Friday I took 4 separate HPTs, all of them were expired and from The Dollar Tree... All positive! I decided I should try just one more Saturday morning with a brand new Clear Blue digital HPT, just to be sure. It read "Pregnant."
Thank you all who posted photos of positive tests as you make me feel like the next time it is going to happen to me too. plus, you make me understand better which is a positive test and which is not. i am saying this because i use Clomid for getting pregnant and so far i have not had 2 lines... but each time when i was taking a test i was looking at it sooo carefuly and i was even IMAGINING that it is there.. the 2nd line
I wasn't tracking ovulation or anything but my so and I went out of town for a quick getaway so we know when it happened. This is 12 & 14 days post deed; first one taken at about 10:30pm, second taken in late evening. I'm now 11-12 weeks with 1 & 2.
I'm 11dpo. I'm pretty confident it's a bfp, but my husband & my mom don't trust it. Maybe I should stop showing people stuff I pee on??? Eh, unlikely! Going to buy a digital & hope it can read this.
I am new here sorry to impose but I was wondering if you could help, I took a first signal from walmart .88 cents, and within 2 minutes had a faint second line, but I was reading about evap and indent lnes and I am now losing faith that it is a positive, also the line seems to be a little further from the control line than I thought it should be.

This is is my progression so far! Starting from the far left: 11DPO (squinter), 12DPO, 13DPO, 18DPO and today (5w3d) at 23DPO.
Edit for typo
I don't think I need to do any more testing lol
First test was CVS brand, very faint line on that one, and took 2 clear blue for the following two days, and both said pregnant.
Two Days later looked like this:
Pretty prominent line on both actually.
Took the first test on March 12th so it was 40 days since last period with conception on Feb 17th .
