Happycupcake, I'm just now seeing your post. We must have posted at the same time lol but I commented on your thread. I'm still seeing lines! I'm really hoping it's more obvious tomorrow morning.

I'm with you daisies, I literally don't want anything to eat but I'm hungry. I just can't find anything that seems somewhat like anything I would want to eat. So far I've kept a box of cheez-its close to me so I can eat a few when I get hungry. It's weird though because last week I was starving to death and ate everything in sight lol now I'm having to force myself to eat the crackers. I do make sure I drink plenty of water though

Welcome meek!

Citrus, I don't normally early test! Partially because my LP is only 11 days anyhow so it's not as long a wait but also because I had such a roller coaster with my CP of faint lines forever and I never want to repeat that.

Thanks guys, I'm in Canada so it's generally similar products to the States. I don't have a FRER - if I had I would have peed on it already haha. But yes I agree with you citrus and everyone else - I didn't realize my tests weren't as sensitive as I thought. Plus I've heard of a ton of people needing to wait until 12-14dpo to see anything at all.

Plus I've noticed the past 2 days or so that I'm feeling really hungry but the thought of food makes me sick so maybe that sounds a good thing haha

Also hi meek! Sorry forgot to say hi earlier

*Update - bought an FRER now just not sure when to use it (I only have 1!) Suggestions?

 

[citrusfruit]

Well there's a hint of a line but I'd say less obvious than 2 days ago so I'm calling this a chemical or maybe even just evaps. Gutted.

 

[JessyG]

Oh citrus i am sorry! Dont rule yourself out completely though. When is af due?

Sander - now, use it now

Oh and i cant button my jeans anymore.....crazy! Dong even have an elastic band so am just wearing a long stretchy top to cover the fact my jeans are undone and a floaty top over it since i look 4 months pregnant.

 

[happycupcake]

Citrus, I agree with Jessy! I'm having the weirdest time with FRERs, take a look at my update on my thread. Everything else is progressing but the FRERs are the same. I'm starting to wonder if there are some faulty batches about? Have you tried any other tests? I hope it isn't a chemical. For what it's worth, I haven't once seen an evap on a FRER myself, if they have been blank they have stayed that way, but super faint lines have sometimes darkened over time. You did have other positive tests, didn't you?

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

Citrus, sometimes for whatever reason the lines lighten then get darker again. I don't know why but I'm hoping this is the case for you. ❤ I really hope it's just because your fmu sucks like mine and you'll get a better line later in the day.

Sander, I agree with Jessy! Now is a good time! (but try not to drink anything and hold off on going to the bathroom for as long as possible)

Happycupcake, I seeeee linesssss!!! And way more obvious and darker ones too!! ❤❤

 

[citrusfruit]

Thanks all. I've only had squinters on ICs but I wouldn't say anything to get excited about based on the squinters we've had on one step before. There is a line on the frer but it is so super faint. It's horrible because it just leaves that window of hope open. I might go out and get Superdrug tests, if I can be bothered...I did another IC with smu and nothing. It's just hard to not have any hope as I feel a bit off and am just finding it so hard to believe yesterday's frer wasn't real. So cruel this game!

 

[citrusfruit]

Today's cheapie with smu.

This is so all consuming. I'm finding it really hard to concentrate on anything else.

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I still see the line on the ic. I know what you mean though. I would do the same thing every cycle hoping and praying for that second line to appear. Then get darker. I'm sorry today's test wasn't what you expected. I honestly expected it to be darker too. There was definitely a line on the first frer. I'm really hoping your lines get darker and you also have a bfp. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

 

[ladders]

Citrus I see that line on the ic really clearly! What dpo are you again? I know what about it being all consuming and it's hard to not expect what you think the line should look like but remember hcg doubles every 48 hours so if was just 10 when you got the hint of a line then only 20 two days later so hardly any difference! Then would take another 48 hours to get to 40 and that's not even enough to be picked up by a clearblue. Please don't loose hope

 

[citrusfruit]

Oh thanks ladders and Kim. I am still only 9dpo. I do feel pregnant. I do see what you mean about the numbers too, hcg would have only barely been detectable at 7dpo so the numbers would still be really low today at 9 dpo.

I'm holding my pee now to go out and get a Superdrug. My oh would go mad if he knew!!

 

[meek0104]

citrus, im really hoping for a bfp for you. i totally understand you saying its consuming you...i swear even after my doctor visit last month all i thought about day and night was "what if i am pregnant and theres just not enough hcg in my blood". i probably took about 20 tests between 9 and 14dpo and was still holding out hope until the 1st drop of blood

 

[happycupcake]

Meek, I'm sorry how rude I don't think I said hello and welcome! Hello and welcome!

Citrus, I see a line easily on your IC! I'm thinking FRER are currently rubbish, OR perhaps your pee wasn't quite concentrated to give you a stronger line today. The IC is definitely there, and also I suspect you can see your FRER easier than it is on photo as sometimes it's hard to photograph faint lines good. Fingers crossed for your Superdrug.

I tweaked your photo a little then greyscale and inverted it

 

[citrusfruit]

Thanks cupcake, yes it is definitely there isn't it. FRER was with fmu today but was with second or third pee or fourth or fifth even on Wednesday so guess that could affect it too. I think it's unlikely they are all evaps so we will just see if it sticks.

Sorry girls, feel like a right moany pants and so self indulgent right now, I've just never had this limbo before! I've only ever had lines when I was pregnant, nothing like this. So that you for indulging me and welcome meek!!!

 

[happycupcake]

Citrus, don't be silly you aren't being moany! It's hard when lines don't behave as you expect. I know precisely how this feels! I don't see anything on my FRER but yet there are lines on the Superdrugs and ICs so it makes you feel quite unsure. Did you buy a Superdrug? The FRER is less sensitive, and at this early stage it will be easier for a Superdrug to show a line. Some ICs will show lines and others won't, they are a whole new league of weird on their own

 

[Hopfl4bbynbr4]

I agree with Happycupcake. You're not being moany. It's frustrating when those lines don't do what we expect them to do. I also agree with ladders about the hcg double time too. I'm holding on to hope for you, Citrus!

 

[citrusfruit]

Sooo....what do we think? There's a line again so I'm either pregnant or it's a chemical. And on we go to tomorrow...

 

[citrusfruit]

Oh and I managed to do this! Your tweaks are still the best though cupcake

 

[JessyG]

Definitely a line and i think it looks darker!?
