Ok, sorry in advance if this discussion is upsetting to anyone, you know that is not my intent.
This morning I POAS again at 10DPO. Previous 2 days were clearly negative. This morning, I thought that maybe, MAYBE I saw a faint line. I know a line is a line but this really was so faint you could not call it a line.
This is the first time I have ever thought that I might be seeing a line. I took yesterday's stick out of the garbage and brought them into DH. I just held them there and asked him if, besides the obvious bright line, he saw anything on either of them. He said he thought he might see a very faint line on the top one (today's).
In true crazy-lady fashion, I then asked my cats if they saw it. They said no
My mind is running a mile a minute now. I am going to spend my entire day sitting here wondering if this is actually going to happen or if I was imagining something. Again, definitely not enough there for me to feel comfortable calling it a line. Also, I'm due for AF this weekend and I have been having all my typical pre-AF symptoms.
And this right here is why testing early is a bad idea. Ugh!
I went through exactly this two and a half weeks ago when I tested 9DPO. Like exactly word for word (minus the cats lol). I felt SO crazy that I thought I had seen a line, but maybe it wasn't even there??
I bought like five drugstore test during lunch and took them right then which was a bad idea. Obviously negative. Take another test tomorrow morning, but based on my experience I feel confident saying a premature and cautious congratulations.
So did you see a difference when you tested the next morning? Or did it take a few days? I am hoping tomorrow shows something a little more definitive or I am going to turn into a REALLY crazy lady.
This is the deal with testing too early. You need to remember that there is like 95% chance that it will be accurate. Believe me I am always tempted to do it and often I would give in but my real line didn't show up until 13 DPO. Good luck! We are all rooting for you!

Thanks! I KNOW I should wait but I am so impatient I am a bad POASer, lol

Honeyspider!!! Omg!! Yay! Cautious congrats and if you don't mind me thread jacking you, we may be best friends for the next 9 months - I am 8dpo but got a very very faint + this morning too.

OMG!! Seriously that would be awesome if it really is a BFP for both of us!!

Mine was definitely darker the next day. Still very faint, but not make you think you're insane faint. Recognizable in a picture. It took until 13dpo for me to get a positive digital, but the wondfo and First Response the next morning were undoubtedly positive.
Ok...yeah I just want to feel not insane, lol FX tomorrow's is more visible.

I would hold my pee and test again in a few hours.. but I'm just impatient like that. Any chance you can get a picture of this iffy pee stick? What brand was your test?

It's a Wondfo...I didn't take a photo because I figured there was no way it was going to show up.
I didn't bring any sticks with me to work so the earliest I could test again is tonight when I get home. I can't decide if I want to do that or just wait until tomorrow morning.
I tested wed evening and got a super faint line, like i had to take it to the window and check under natural light! I tested again on thurs morning, similar faint line. Bought FRER and Clear Blue Digital both show positive. Tested again today with wondfo and it looks as though the line is getting fainter but Clear Blue still said positive. Maybe you should try a different brand?

When I got my bfp with DD, I took a test at 11 dpo and it was clearly negative. At 12 dpo, I took another test and there was a really extremely faint is that or isn't that a line. The next day I got a light pink positive on a cheapie test and got a darker definite line on an Answer brand test. 12dpo was the longest day of my life.
