@chichiphin I see color in the last picture you took! One thing to remember is that your tests won't darken for 2 days. Not noticeably until you get enough to line them up and see a progression. Plus, I have heard that the tests they use at the doctor's aren't as sensitive, which blows my mind. Go get a cheapie from Walmart or the dollar store. See what you get with one of those. FX so hard for you!
@chichiphin sending you so much love. Also, desperately hoping they are wrong.
@brookert615 just guessing here, but this was my experience. I thought frers had a sensitivity of 25 miu/ ml hcg but it’s closer to 6.3 (see below for the reference).
When I got my betas done, my dr told me it wasn’t looking good bc my in office came back neg. my first beta was like a 12, which my doctor told me isn’t considered clinically pregnant...but i could still see a faint line on the frer.
@ottergirl81 It looks positive to me but we all know how blue dye test can be tricky! Do you have any digitals or any pink dye tests? At this point you should be able to turn any test! Good luck!
Hi, I’m 10 dpo .. does my test line look ok to yous? In how long should I expect it to grow and be as dark as the control line? I am 3 weeks and 3 days today. Thank you.
@miap11 I tested at 3w4d, and my FRER looked like yours. I also did a CB digital test. I have been retesting on the Clinical Guards since then (what I used originally). There has been a progression of it getting darker. I'm 5w1d today, and the lines are now as dark as the control line.

Thank you so much! I will test these next few days with internet cheapies to see a line grow and once I hit 5 weeks I will take another frer and go for blood tests. Congrats to you! How far along are you?
My line has grown so well from the last time I posted. This pic was 3 days ago. I am now 16dpo. I’m so happy to be seeing this. I will go for beta blood tests once I hit 5 weeks.. next Tuesday good luck to everyone xoxo
OK, so I know blue tests are dumb (I accidentally bought them), but I called my IVF clinic yesterday to tell them that I STILL haven't gotten my period since I stopped my estrogen (when I was told that my PGS results from my egg retrieval were not great). I was supposed to have my FET that Friday but got put on hold to discuss things with a genetic counselor. That being said, she told me to POAS because crazier things have happened. I said unless they accidentally squirted one of the eggs at retrieval back into my uterus, I can't imagine how this would work...but needless to say I POAS and got this (FMU on top). In normal light in my bathroom it looks blueish, but in pics it tends to look more grey (so I am assuming it is an evap line thanks to the blue dye)...but!!! Just wanted to see what you all thought):

@ladyp0tter on the top tests I do see a faint blue line. IF is such a B, and crazy things do happen (they happened to me) If it were me I would go get a FRER and do a 4 hour hold... or better yet see if your RE will get you in for a BETA

Sometimes when you make your pee steep in for longer than it should be, it will do an evap line. That was the case for me last month I believe on a FRER. The line looks pretty much there though .. let’s see how it goes tomorrow. If your pregnant it should be a tiny bit darker. I’ll post my internet brand preg tests I did everyday to give you an idea. Now at 16dpo the test line is as dark as the control line. I just didn’t get a chance to take a pic of it. How many days post ovulation would you think you are? Keep us posted!
I took another test last night and this morning. Nothing really so that one must be an evap! I have no idea what day I am on because I was mid-cycle before stopping the estrogen pills/patches and expected my period (had it started normally) probably a week ago, but at this point, hopefully I DONT get it so I can hold out until my genetic counselor meeting on Tuesday. Then the RE can start my priming for FET this month. If my period comes between now and Tuesday, it may be too far into my cycle to start my meds! Thanks all!!

@wolfcub2020 I think you mean a super super dark obvious line. The line that is vertical in the circle I s what tells you that you are pregnant. And it’s insanely dark.
Got distracted by my toddler & looked at it just after the 10 minute mark. This what it looked like. No idea DPO as we weren’t tracking. period is roughly 4-5 days late. Positive or Evap??
It is hard to tell @mom42019 I see the line, but it looks grey, which would make me think it is an evap line. I highly suggest getting another test and testing with FMU.
Cannot get enough line progression it’s my favorite thing in the beginning. Super super super faint first two, and a slow climb to a positive digital. #2 is on his or her way!
I’m going to the doctor but it’s Labor Day weekend and I found out on Friday. Do these test look positive to you? Some were taken at night and two (brightest two) were first thing in the am. Along with the test I also have tinder breast, been sleeping like crazy, hate the smell of different things i usually love. There are two photos and the one with a black background is darkened, sorry the lighting in my bathroom sucks!
EDIT * they are darker than the lighting makes them look which is why I edited it*

They do look positive but I’d go get pink dye tests ASAP, first response probably your best bet. Blue due test are notoriously hard to read and can be inaccurate!
