Thanks @asf0613 and @DoubleUp8 - FX and praying hard that you'll both join me in the next few days - both your TWW sx look optimistic (yes I'm still stalking TTGP hardcore)!!
@chichiphin Thanks for sharing, that makes me feel a little better about these ongoing cramps!
Never thought I would be posting here, but here I am. This morning my BBT dropped for the second day, two days ago was 98.65 and today was 98.31. We are away from home and sleeping in a much colder room than normal (around 50 degrees at night vs. 65), so on the off chance I tested this morning, at 10 dpo, not expecting much. Within the window of the test, the below appeared.
Same test, one with the flash on and one without. Looks more pink in person than the picture with the flash. Unfortunately, I only have one more cheapie and one FRER with me on our trip. I had already dumped my sample before the line showed up, so I am going to wait until tomorrow morning to test again. But it's there, right?

I was feeling bad yesterday with headache, overall bloated, nauseated, and tender breasts. Decided to take a test this morning at 10 dpo. 🤯 the line definitely has more color in person.
@bows22 thank you!!! I'm super excited and was nevous that it's an evap being so faint and with the temp drop, but I swear it was within the time frame. I may stop at the local pharmacy and pick up another FRER so I can test tonight!

Flo app says I'm 9dpo, FF says 12dpo, Premom says I'm 10dpo . Regardless, there is definitely a line! It looks way better in person.

Hi ladies! I dipped the top test (Pregmate) today, saw a faint line, dipped the bottom (Wondfo) and saw nothing (unfortunately I don’t have a pic of those 2 with the original color within the time frame). So I did what any sane person would do and went out and bought an FRER which also gave me a very faint line. The FRER pics are within the testing time window.
I’m not sure if I am seeing what I think I am, or if I just have line eyes. So I’m just looking for some opinions. My first was conceived via IVF so getting pregnant on my own is very unlikely. We’ve been trying for baby #2 for over a year now. COVID delays with the RE, a failed embryo transfer, and a cancelled IVF cycle later, we are finally in the November group to try for an egg retrieval again. I am also 13 dpo, so I feel like the line should be darker than it is? Am I crazy??
@Kim41313 i definitely see something on the pregmate and the FRER. I actually came here to make my own post about a FRER I took on 11 DPO that looks like yours and I never saw another line on another test on then started my period. Since you have lines on 2 different brands though I think you can probably trust them and be cautiously optimistic but keep testing to make sure!
AFM, here is a pic of a test at 11 dpo. I had tested the night before and tested again later this day and again the next morning with no second line so just a word of warning that there may be some bad FRERs out there. Edit to add - AF came yesterday so unfortunately not KU.
Here’s a pic of my test taken at the 5 minute mark and then one zoomed in.
Zoomed in. Faint, but there! I knew I couldn’t totally trust it yet since I couldn’t tell if there was color but what a mind f****
@bows22 there is certainly something there. This is pretty damn close to what I was seeing on that early result Wondfo last week! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! 🤞🤞🤞

@emeraldcity1214@inthewoods23 AF came yesterday! I put that inside of my tagged response but I should have made it more apparent. I didn’t mean to get anyone’s hopes up haha. False alarm here 👎🏻. I kept testing but every other test was a BFN
Edit to add - it does make me feel better that you guys were excited because I certainly was too and felt kind of dumb after!
@bows22 darn it! FWIW, there was a distinct difference in color from my test on Tuesday to Wednesday (different boxes). But the remaining tests from the new box were basically the same result in color as Wednesday's test result so I definitely believe you that some of the batches could be bad because my HCG has definitely gone up but my tests aren't reflecting that.

My last cycle was 47 days long so I wasted so many of these tests wondering where AF was. On the 26th day of my new cycle, my BBT was consistently high so I tried testing again: BFP!
Re: What does a positive pregnancy test really look like??
Edit: I saw you posted you got a clear positive today! Congrats!
