Update - Possible second line?

Sep5Bride · October 2014

We're TTC and I have felt very pregnant ever since O, so this two-week-wait is making me crazy. I've been taking the Wondfo HPTs every morning for the past few days, all completely negative, but I knew it was on the early side for a positive anyway. I was getting pretty discouraged as I'm most likely due to get my period tomorrow, so I thought it would have shown up by now. And if I'm wrong and I'm not pregnant, then I'm questioning my sanity over these very present pregnancy symptoms.

This morning I took another test and it appeared negative, but on a second very close look it seemed like there might be just the very faintest second line. It's so hard to see, but it's definitely where a second line would appear if there were one. I checked my old tests again and there definitely wasn't anything there before, so I'm back to thinking maybe I'm not crazy after all! I'm not celebrating yet, and I'm not even telling DH, but I had to share with someone. Wishing it were tomorrow morning already so I could test again!

How far DPO are you?

I took a test at around 10 DPO (I'm not 100% sure when I O'd because I wasn't taking OPKs or charting this time) it was a stark negative.

I tested again on a wondfo on the day my period was supposed to come. I got a super light line. The next day I got a somewhat faint but definitely darker line. Then I bought a FRER which was a definite positive.

Maybe it would be worth it to buy a FRER? Or maybe wait a few days and test again. I'm thinking I may have O'd later than was "predicted" by my LMP and that's why I got a lighter positive.

Good luck and fingers crossed this is your BFP!

Thanks! I think I'm on 10 or 11 dpo. I might just have to stop by Walgreens on my way home this afternoon!

((hugs)) momma, wait and test again in the morning! Hopefully you will have a clearer result. I always hated waiting to test. Sometimes I'd make myself wait a few days so I'd feel more confident in the results, but it's hard! GL!

GL! I hope it's an obvious BFP tomorrow.

GL!! The dollar tree tests are awesome too. Maybe try those.

Great idea, thanks!

Gah, still super faint this morning. I'm wondering if they might just be evaporation lines, since they don't show up until it's been at least five minutes. But then again, they never happened before, so I'm still holding out hope! It's crazy how a few days can feel so long...

@b0710, the lines are pink, is that what you mean?

ohiodoxiemama08 · October 2014

@Sep5Bride pink line tests are supposed to be more accurate.

My wondfos were all super hard to read in the first few days. I think that the cheap price kinda reflects their quality.

I would highly recommend a FRER (if you haven't already done one). There was no question about that one for me.

But to make you feel better I do not think that evap lines are that common on wondfos.

Also, are you to your missed period day yet? That's when I started to get clearer positives.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

Thanks, everyone, you are all so encouraging! I haven't tried the FRER yet, though I did try the Dollar Tree test and the line was still there, but still very faint and delayed. I haven't necessarily missed my period yet, but I would have expected it to come last night, today, or tomorrow most likely, so I'm right there.

I got a little excited by the faint lines yesterday, and expecting that this morning would be a BFP, I dressed DD in her "Big Sister" shirt last night (that DH doesn't know about), with the plans to surprise him this morning. Then I took another test this morning, saw that it was still questionable, and had to quickly change DD when she woke up so that DH wouldn't see the shirt. Can you tell I'm getting a little too excited?

I have today off from work and am going to visit a friend and her 2-week old baby boy. Baby fever is in full swing!
