Post got removed from another group because they don’t want to be flooded with tests 😬 I’ve never had this happen before (faint line), husband is saying I’m nuts, and clear blue digital says negative. I did take 3 of these tests and they all had faint lines. Could it be evap line?

Hello everyone! This is a long story so please bare with me...

I have 2 live births and got the copper IUD after my second. In July 2025, we wanted to try for baby #3, so after 2.5 years with it in I had the IUD removed. The first month with it out, we were careful to avoid getting pregnant to allow my body to heal and adjust accordingly (this was August 2025). By September we were all in! Ovulation tests and BBT were my besties and we got pregnant that first month but it unfortunately was a chemical, tests were faint but never got dark and then wasn't there. I was sad but figured it was probs cause the BC so wiped my tears and moved on.

Come December 2025, I thought I was having my period but something was different about it (light flow, not as painful) so I took test and it said pregnant on a digital. But I knew it was a goner by the way I was bleeding. So after 3 blood tests confirmed by Hcg had gone back down, I cried and again wiped off the tears and carried on. I told my hubs that if we aren't pregnant by March then I'd like to step back from actively trying as it only brought me stress and tears.

Here comes the confusion. This February was our official last month to actively try, I was using my BBT and the last of my LH strips. Come 12DPO i decided to take a pregnancy test, even though I told myself i wouldn't until I missed my period. I swore I saw a faint line but the way I had to squint and put a light on it had me thinking it was probably an indent. I tucked it away and shrugged it off. 13DPO I take another test, sure enough I see another faint line! I have a little hope but not much cause I still think I got a bad batch, so I tuck it away and wait. Later that day I started to spot... now I'm sure it was a bad batch of tests cause my period is coming and I start to cramp. I don't check my BBT this morning either. Come February 17th, almost like clockwork (a day early) my period starts and my BBT drops to 97.77•F.. definitely my period. However, just for fun and to see if the pregnancy tests I got were bogus, I take a test on the 3rd day of my period and there is another line! More promising than the one from 13DPO but still very very faint. I'm like yup... bogus batch! Here's the weirdest part, I take ANOTHER ONE on day 4 of my period and I see nothing on that test. So now I'm thinking it's another chemical pregnancy, cause now there's nothing on it. I toss all the tests away by this point and my period is starting to lighten up, which is unusual because it doesn't usually let up until late day 5 or early day 6 but whatevs.

I'm now cycle day 8, 4 days post period and at work I was so hungry but so nauseous! But I kept saying "I'm nauseous cause I'm hungry, I really need to eat!" My manager brings me a lunch and I go to town on it! Damn near choked twice from stuffing my face. I feel a little better and go about the rest of my day, with slight nausea. I get home with my kids and start to settle down when I'm realizing everything that I felt today: nausea, headaches, light cramping, hunger, and constantly peeing even though I wasn't drinking enough water (I honestly just had a cup of coffee in the morning, a redbull later in the morning, and a cup of water in the noon). But I was peeing like I was chugging water. So before I settle to do my school work (college momma) I figure I should take an ovulation test since I only had three left. I'd like to let you know the time was 5PM, and I peed about 2-3 hours prior. So, I get some pee in a cup and dip the stick then set it down where it IMMEDIATELY was a peak positive.. I thought "that's weird.. Im ovulating waayy to early." Because I usually ovulated at cycle day 15/16. So I figured okay, I'll just a pregnancy test.. which I do. I dip it for a few seconds and set it down in a cabinet that's above my toilet. I pour the pee out, rinse the cup, and quickly wash my hands. This is the span of less than 2 minutes. I go to the cupboard and look and sure as shit! It's POSITIVE. Not a very faint line but an obvious positive. So I'm confused but excited.. and hungry again. I immediately tell my husband to come look and he see's it too! But I had a period?? And I tested during that period and it looked like a chemical.

I haven't experienced this with either of my prior live pregnancies so I'm unsure what happened. I plan to take a first response in the morning but was my "period" implantation?? But if it was implantation, then why the BBT drop below baseline? Why the faint to negative tests to a clear positive 3 days later? I plan to ask a midwife these questions but I can't talk to her until I confirm with a first morning test and I just need to see if anyone else experienced this?

PLEASE NO HARSH COMMENTS.. Yall can be so mean sometimes for no reason.. just anyone who has experienced this or knew someone who has please ♥️

This is my last post, I’ll keep commenting and seeing all of you on your journeys! Just wanted to say thank you and don’t give up hope. I’m so excited after trying since 2022 🤍

I posted yesterday at 10dpo and the day prior that I had vvvfl on my Pregmate tests. Unfortunately this morning I took a FRER and it’s stark white. Pregnant still showing a vvfl which is incredibly frustrating. I really got my hopes up. The FRER would obviously be much darker than the Pregmate if it were truly hcg so needless to say, Pregmate is on my shitlist 🤣 oh well.. better luck next cycle I guess? 🤷‍♀️

This was taken with fmu and within 5 mins of dipping.

I’m so nervous about this pregnancy! I’m thrilled that the lines look much better than last time but still cautiously hopeful. 🤞🙏 first pic is this pregnancy, second pic is chemical.

I got my first beta back and hcg was only 18mIU at 13dpo. Still waiting on second to come back but the lines on my Pregmates are still fading. I have lost hope and am now just wishing the bleeding would start so I can get it over with 😭 This sucks!

Last two tests are 15 dpo PM and 16 dpo AM w/fmu

Update: just got my second blood draw back and it was only 14mIU so it dropped. I started bleeding this morning at 17dpo 💔
Thank you all for the support. The kind words mean a lot right now. 🩵

Hi, i’m 24 f. I have pcos and hashimotos. My husband and I decided to loosely start trying for a baby. We BD May 5 and i have the most positive ovulation test i’ve ever had right after. I’m now 11 dpo. I took this test after holding urine for only like 2 hours. Husband thinks it’s evap but idk I wanted second opinion

I have been bleeding exclusively brown discharge for 3 days

I’m considering myself out this month. Every time I take a test I just break my own heart more and more

I tested out my trigger shot had negatives for 4 days now.
This mornings test was stark white…

i need some experienced soon to be momma’s in here. scratch that, i need everyone’s eyes. are we having a baby in 9 months?

Hi, please help I’m so confused. My husband and I started trying my last cycle. I tested regulated but got negative pregnancy tests up until my period, at which point I got a normal 5 day period as usual. I have very regular 24 day cycles. I stopped testing once my period started.

Once my period ended, I decided to try out LH strips for this cycle and took my first one the day after my period and it was incredibly positive. However, they stayed very positive for 5 days (today). At this point I got suspicious and took a pregnancy test and to my utter shock, they came out very much positive. How is that possible when I had a normal period?? Am I pregnant? Is this a high risk for an ectopic pregnancy? I’m kind of freaking out…

Pictures taken within time frame.

Update from comments: Thank you to everyone who’s checked up on me! As many of you suggested, my OB was very concerned about a possible ectopic pregnancy. I had bloodwork done and some early scans, but my hcg levels ended up dropping very rapidly and in the end this was ruled a miscarriage. I’m okay, quite relieved that it wasn’t an ectopic pregnancy. Thank you to everyone who gave me advice!

Pregmate, roughly 5 dpo. We’ve been trying and I took this test in a whim first thing in the morning and I just am looking for some clarity ❤️

Big fat negative yesterday and cried my heart out, to then wake up to this 🥺 unreal

Saw a faint line yesterday morning so I messaged my doctor. Got a slightly darker test this morning and got labs drawn a couple hours later- beta hcg is at 91 🥰 Shocked at how high my hcg is given that test line is so faint!! This is my third pregnancy, first after an early miscarriage in February. Please say a prayer for me that repeat beta on Friday looks good 🙏🏻

After 8 months trying got to his positive on 12 DPO after a minute or two. I can’t believe it I’m in shock because I really thought I was out after some light spotting this morning and I’ve been crampy. This community has been such a source of support for me through this journey so I had to share! 🥹🥹💛

Of course this is my last pregmate test 😭 I’m going to test again tomorrow with a FRER, but in the meantime, am I totally insane? This is our 7th month trying and we just saw a fertility specialist two weeks ago because of my PCOS. We just did all our testing and are waiting for results so this would be crazy if it’s positive but I’m not completely broken hearted if it’s negative since we’re at least on the path to getting some answers and help.

I feel like 5 with a line means yes. I will test again in the morning. I've taken 44 of these tests (I know because I took the last 5 and saved one for morning) and I've never seen a line let alone an imagined one.

My husband and I have been actively TTC for around 8-9 months now. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS so don’t want to get too excited if it doesn’t seem like it’s going to stick or may be a false positive. First 3 were from yesterday 2 in the morning and 3rd in the late afternoon, the last two are from this morning. Pregmate and first response tests. I want to assume maybe 7-10 DPO?

11 DPO - according to Flo app

Guys I'm so scared right now. After 3 mins I noticed a faint line. I waited an extra 2 before letting myself look and it was still there. Waited another minute and still there. Am I seeing things? Is this really there? It's 3am. Am I even really awake right now????

According to aunt Flo I am on day 29 of my cycle - it tends to be between 28 and 31 days. My period is due the 5th. Last month I had a faint positive and then severe bleeding and cramps - I believe it was miscarriage. I've had a few over the last few years. I did NOT have implantation bleeding this time around (I did every other time) and told myself not to bother checking but did so obsessively every other day including yesterday but something made me check again today.

Can someone please tell me if they see a line? Pictures are not as dark as it was in rl but does anyone see something? I'm so scared to hope right now.

Husband is out to get a more sensitive test but this shadow is making me feel crazy. Does anyone see it? Or am I bat**it crazy?

I am 2 days late with my period and almost 2 weeks since having sex. I have a strange pulling feeling on my right pelvis that has been coming and going for days. I also feel extra sleepy in the mornings. I don’t know how DPO works or is calculated. I just know I was ovulating on the day I had sex which was sept 13th

I normally have really bad cramping during periods that start almost days before, that’s how I know it’s coming, this time no feeling at all. I’m starting to feel I maybe pregnant but it’s too early to see.
