Fake faint line madness?!!

[Bevziibubble]

I definitely see lines on those!

Wow everyone suddenly showed up lol bit disappointed with this evenings one step it was covered in dents all over the test area so im really not sure about it. Hoping to get some green ones tomorrow from my local chemist but i hate buying from there. I mean i shouldnt be pregnant no accidents or anything..oh the first 2 pics are wet next 2 dry

 

[josephine3]

Sooo frustrated today the chemist had no cheap green dipsticks furious as oh is out i was hoping to dip a whole bunch and now im stuck with one crappy answer test which is my least fave test and was 3 quid for one whereas id get 9 green ones for that!! Now gotta wait for a darker sample

 

[josephine3]

My new ics showed up!! Just as i was dipping the answer! So pleased i have tests! Yay! i got over excited about being able to test and forgot photos till about 20 min. The 25miu ic is short dated cheap buy but strangely i see something better on that than the 10miu ic. The answer i could see the antibody strip before i dipped it sorry for posting here too its just incase anyone is following that doesnt view the gallery often.

Heres the 10

All I'm seeing are indents. If you question them, best thing to do is dip a couple of each in the same sample at the same time, that way you know they are the same as opposed to one giving an evap, another an indent or one being genuine. It doesn't make a huge deal of sense to see anything genuine on a 25miu without anything on the 10miu, so I would say it's an indent or evap or something

Cupcake is wise

Cupcake is wise

Or, I have spent too much time peeing on sticks lol

 

[josephine3]

But if they both look the same how will i kno what it is still? Just fell asleep on sofa ruined my fmu cos now i need to pee an its 4 am!
Im having all ususl af symptoms plus headaches. Also my cervix which usually stays stubbornly low before af seems to be rising higher each day!

 

[josephine3]

I did a test with just water as a control. I actually see a line on that too but its obviously a grey indent u kno like when u hold it at an angle sometimes the light catches it right? -Like that!

 

[happycupcake]

Yes, they frequently have these. Sometimes in the right light or photograph they can look convincing too.
My cervix position and feel changes a lot throughout my cycle sometimes. Like now, despite having had blank tests, my cp is now high soft and closed. I'm due af today or tomorrow, I also have ewcm... sometimes it's all messed up and doing things you would expect it to do during fw or pregnancy but it does it right before af

If you had two tests which looked positive, then the likelihood of them being genuinely positive increases, as opposed to having one blank and one faintly pink, because one could be faulty, but which one you won't know until it progresses or doesn't progress. That's why this cycle I kept dipping a few ICs in the same sample, so I had a better idea of whether they were genuine. As a result, I had all of them pink, they varied a little in how strong they showed, but they were all pink and wide nonetheless, therefore I knew they were positive

Frer 2 hr hold at 3 mins

 

[robo123]

I'm not seeing anything, the pics quite dark x

 

[josephine3]

At 10 mins

 

[josephine3]

And finally at 2 hrs!

 

[robo123]

Hmm I see something I think xx

 

[Bevziibubble]

I think I see something faint

 

[LuvallmyH]

We are similar in that most tests seem to give us some sort of a line. I think your ics are just the antibody strip - where the test would be bfp if it was bfp. Some of them show more clear than others. The trick with an ic is progression, and there should be some each day. The frer has been really awful lately. So many of us getting vv faint lines that turn out to be nothing. It's mean really. I see yours are the old style and I don't know if they are as bad.
Is there a chance you could be pregnant this cycle? Are you still using protection every time?
I do know how it feels to think if you just peed on enough tests they will turn bfp. I've been there!
I'm also curious what you are looking for testing every day of your cycle? I do not mean that in an insensitive way, I'm just not sure if you are looking for positives or to compare tests or whatnot. And that is coming from someone who can be a bit obsessive about testing & I don't think I have even o'd yet!

Best of luck hun.

 

[josephine3]

Well last cycle i had a weird af so tested a bit after that. Also the pcos gives me really bad preg symptoms every cycle after ov. Its just curiosity really to see if i get more obvious lines at certain times of the month x

 

[josephine3]

Also, i drink and smoke on a regular basis so want to know asap so i can stop!
