Hi all,

I can't tell if it's wishful thinking or if there is something very vaguely there! Only 10 DPO, 6th cycle trying.

Any opinions welcome

Hey OP. I can definitely see something on there, a shadowy line. Is there any colour to it? Good luck, try testing again in the morning to see if there is any progression. Good luck x

Id be wary of reading it as positive as the test, based on the colour of the bit that is supposed to be white, looks over saturated. Flooding the tests can cause false lines. Did you dip in a collected sample or pee on it?

Id either retest, after a 4 hour hold, or wait a couple of days. Collect a sample and dip the test in, being careful not to hold the test strip in too long or go over the max line. Wishing you luck

Thank you both. Dipped test for 10 seconds and placed on the packaging as non absorbent. I don't think there was any flooding.

Will try again testing tomorrow with FMU. It's not a great photo as phone didn't charge over night so couldn't use flash annoyingly. Both DH and I THINK we can see some kind of difference. I think I see a hint of pink, he isn't sure.

Tracking BBT but honestly the weather is making me lean away from relying on it too much!

I dont think I can see anything but agree, try again tomorrow. Good luck!

I used to be really confident in these tests but sadly I think theyve gone down hill & can show indents, I usually have pretty good line eyes but I cant see anything here but also dont think you have flooded it. Can I ask how youve taken your BBT? As in where in your body are you putting it (TMI question IK). Also dont find using flash on tests of any kind good, your best photo is usually against a white wall with mid-range lighting, not too much sunlight etc. Have been pregnant a good number of times (not all have been successful) so this is just coming from my personal experience. I hope its positive though

Taking temperature under tongue, first thing in the morning straight after I wake up.

Test looks the same today, maybe slightly more of a line?! Think I need to wait a couple of days and see if period arrives. The TWW really is awful!!

Did you test again OP? Just for reference of these tests becoming more unreliable, I tested this morning & I got this & im pretty sure theres no way I could be pregnant right now

I didn't test this morning as temp went down to 36.10 so am assuming period will arrive tomorrow/ Wednesday! If temp is higher tomorrow will do a test but pretty sure I'm out this cycle :(
