standard 'is this a line' - help me ladies?!

[PerpetualStudent]

If it is it's very faint, clearer in RL than crappy phone pic...

[HungryHorace]

Looks like a squinter of a line to me.

Congratulations. :-)

[Thesimplethings]

Look like a line to me congratulations

[PerpetualStudent]

Eek! Thanks ladies, it doesn't feel real! Im 5 days late, but got BFNs on Fri and Sat. Going to test again in another couple of days & see if it's still there...

[Sarahg1]

I can't see a thing on my phone but sounds like there's a line so CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sleepdeprivedmadwoman]

I think I can see a line too. Congrats

[m33r]

I see it easily! Congrats!

[PerpetualStudent]

Thanks!!
Did another test this morning - similar faint line, makes me worried something might not be right?
Has anyone else had experience of having such faint lines? I'm now a week late, so thought it would be showing up more?

[HungryHorace]

Tests have limited dye and some never really get that dark at all.

Can you buy a digi to see weeks since conception (though these are also not 100% accurate)?

Implantation could've been later too, which may have an effect.

Quite a few factors to consider really!

[Pisghetti]

Is that a superdrug test? Mine looked a lot like that when I was four days late. A digi stick confirmed it the next day. I used the other one yesterday (yeah I have a POAS problem....) which would be 9 days late and got a good line but still not as dark as the control line.

[PerpetualStudent]

I know Hungry so many variables!

Thanks for reassurance. Yes it is a superdrug test - I'd heard they were good? I have a digi stick in my bag now, all ready to go for tomorrow will absolutely not slope away from work and use it this afternoon POAS fever running high with me too pisghetti!

[HungryHorace]

I PO loads of S at the beginning of this pregnancy! Couldn't help myself (but it's my last baby, so I was making the most of it).

I'll await the digi update tomorrow!

[Pisghetti]

I'd also heard the superdrug ones were good (god bless google...) and had a BFN on another brand before I got a line on these ones

I was a bit reluctant to hand over a tenner for the digi stick but when I used it, seeing it in words was fantastic!

[m33r]

perpetual my lines were soooooo feint on 13dpo; on 14dpo I got a digi positive. I also did another IC and it was still pretty feint. I'd get the diggie cracked open tomorrow.

[PerpetualStudent]

Digi says 'not pregnant'

I don't know what to think. Im now on CD35, a week longer than any other cycle I've had.

I booked to go to doctors today anyway, so hopefully will get some insight. Im worried it's a chemical, or something else not right - HATE not knowing what's going on in my body...

[Tangoandcreditcards]

I didn't get a BFP before 7 days late, (5 mo DS is snoozing next to me) was really really feint until a month later (several brands, couldn't stop POAS!). 28 day cycles for me.

Think some people just have weak pee, maybe.

[Tangoandcreditcards]

I can definitely see a line, by the way.

[HungryHorace]

Digis are not very sensitive. Notoriously so, in fact.

I hope it goes well at the GP. Let us know what they think / say.

[PerpetualStudent]

Argh, GP worse than useless. Did another test there, which also came out negative.
His sole response was "you probably are pregnant" & "test again in a week"

No discussion of anything else, any questions asked about how I felt, any reassurance it wasn't a chemical or explaination for why I might be pregnant but regularly getting BFN.

Honestly ladies, you have been far more informative!

Hate this, called DP - he is so level headed about everything & no real help - know it's just end of a long day & Im tired, but feel really lost about this :(

[HungryHorace]

Well that was useful then. :-/

Have you got any cheapie tests you can use? Then you can keep testing without spending much money! (No way could I wait a week!)

[PerpetualStudent]

You read my mind hungry! Ordered ic this morning, but they might not arrive until Mon - will try & hold off until then as this POAS merry-go-round is shreading my nerves!!

Feeling tired, weapy, and bloated with backache - symptoms?! Or just sign I should be at home, in a cool shower, not on this packed train...

[HungryHorace]

Pound shops / Home Bargains sell the same type of test! But not testing til Monday is sensible. :-)

Symptoms and a sign re the train. Because pregnancy symptoms are the same as so many other things. It's so annoying.

[m33r]

Bugger perpetual. Hang in there. Everything is crossed!

[PerpetualStudent]

Thanks m33r and hungry - it's so frustrating, isn't it?
. Caved in and tested again this morning - another blink and you'll miss it line - here's a pic. Am now 23DPO.
I guess a line's a line, I just wish it was a bit more conclusive...

[piratecat]

there is a line there for sure. (recent and first pic)

[MostlyMama]

I do see a line. All the best :)
