I unexpectedly tested faint positive (pic 2) on dpo12, the first day of our nearly 3 week holiday overseas.

I did another test 2 days later and it seems to have progressed darker (pic 1). We only bought two test strips and I wasn’t expecting it to be positive after trying all year and nothing!

We are meant to have a fertility appointment when we return home. Should I test again? Cancel the appointment? I had an early loss in January and the strips never even got as dark as this. But still very tentative to believe this is real.

5 days post embryo transfer and I think this is finally it for me. It’s been a long road including a chemical last month. Praying this one sticks.🤞

This is our second cycle TTC! I was crying ALL day yesterday, I know the exact day of ovulation and I have been tracking bbt manually and through oura w/OPKS both cycles now. I noticed it is day 7 of a continuous rise! So this morning I decided to just impulse take 2 tests because I was so hormonal yesterday and I’m a week out from my period. Do yall see these? Indents? I felt like it was way to early so I’m scared it won’t stick if it’s a line….I need all of the advice! This is like the first time I’ve felt like I don’t have line eyes but the digital says no :(

I’m not exactly sure on DPO as Ovia and Premom predict different ovulation days, but I’m CD 33 on my typical 28-31 day cycle. I’ve been having light pink and brown spotting. I’m too worried to get my hopes up. Do these lines look too light for 15/16dpo?

I’m not tracking my cycle tbh and 8 months postpartum. I’ve felt off all day, my breast and armpits are so tender so I tested this afternoon! I think I’m probably like 8 dpo ish? I kinda thought I saw something so I grabbed my old positive wondfo from my last baby just to compare. Idk why I’m writing all this. We kind of decided on not having a third.. I’m overwhelmed with two😅 do yall see anything? Or am I just overthinking?

Really worried this is too light after last months chemical

Hi everyone, this is my first pregnancy and I am over the moon, but also starting to be a bit more anxious and impatient about the first ultrasound in three weeks. I should be 4w2d but given I ovulated late I am probably closer to 4w. Symptoms are steady, I started cramping more in the last couple of days but no bleeding at all.

I just need some reassurance, as sadly betas are not a thing where I live unless there are specific issues.

I’m scheduling an ultrasound Monday. Sounds like it might be subchorionic hematoma but I’m not sure. Anyone have experience with a situation like this?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice and to hear from women who may have experienced something similar.
I’m currently TTC and this cycle has been really confusing.
I got a positive LH test on October 4, and it was still positive on October 5, although the line was lighter. Based on that, I believe I ovulated around October 5–6, which would put me at approximately 11–12 DPO today (please correct me if my calculations are wrong!).
I’ve been testing with Easy@Home pregnancy strips, but the results have been confusing. I’ve had several negative tests, but on a couple of them, I thought I could see an extremely faint second line. I’ve also had a test that appeared negative. I’ve been looking closely at the tests under different lighting, and I genuinely can’t tell whether I’m seeing the beginning of a positive or just an indent/evaporation line. I don’t want to convince myself I’m pregnant if I’m not.

What’s making this even more confusing is that I’ve been experiencing some unusual breast changes. I’m about 20 months postpartum and stopped breastfeeding a long time ago, after breastfeeding for only around two months. Recently, I’ve noticed drops of white/yellowish milk or colostrum when I press my breasts. My breasts have also felt unusually heavy and very sore.
I’ve also been experiencing bloating, increased hunger, and some symptoms that feel like my period is coming.
I know these symptoms can be caused by hormones and aren’t proof of pregnancy. However, the breast changes are unusual for me, and I can’t help wondering whether they could be related to pregnancy.

My questions are:
Has anyone had negative or extremely faint Easy@Home tests at 11–12 DPO and then gotten a clear positive later?
Has anyone experienced milk or colostrum returning many months after weaning and subsequently discovered they were pregnant?
If you’ve had a similar experience, how many DPO were you when you finally got a positive?
Would you trust a negative test at this point, or is there still a reasonable chance it could be too early?
I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but I’m also struggling to understand what’s happening with my body this cycle. I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially if you’ve experienced something similar postpartum. ❤️

Still spiralling over here. Feeling like today’s line just isn’t as dark as it should be. 5dp5dt to 11dp5dt, two pics of every other day. This isn’t looking good is it 🥺

Based on my ovulation strips, I ovulated on CD 18/19 (9/30-10/1) and my expected cycle would’ve started on 10/14 which makes me 3 days late. Is this too faint to be considered a positive? My dpo 14-16 all are similar to this color. Not sure if it’s a false positive or not

Showed up longer than 10 minutes after testing. But I’ve read the evaporation line would be thinner?

hi! this is my first time using pdg test strips. based on the instructions i considered this a negative since i can the faintest line. what do we think?
should i be hopeful that because it’s so faint(and i have tender breasts) i may have actually ovulated??
for some background i am prediabetic, insulin resistant, sort of diagnosed with pmos and my last real period was in december 2025. before then it was in june 2025 when i had a chemical pregnancy and it was regular-ish before that.
i’ve been on metformin and inositol very strictly for almost two months and randomly decided to test LH just to see if i could make out any sort of cycle regardless of menstruation.
i learned about pdg and decided to give it a try to see if i actually ovulate and here we are

I’ve always gotten stark white negative tests so I have nothing to compare to. Trying to remain cautiously optimistic. However, are these looking good? Of course I fell down the rabbit hole and intrusive thoughts are seeping in of negativity. My Pregmate tests have faint positives since 4dpt but not progressing much. I took a clear blue digital test at 4dpt and it was negative. I have clear blue early detection digital arriving tonight do I do it or do I wait for the morning of 6dpt?

I’m getting bloods taken tomorrow but a bit worried my line isn’t progressing. It’s not very helpful because I ran out of first response (more coming today). I don’t have a photo but with the premom tests my line on day 11/12 was similar to day 13. I’m on day 14 today and used same FMU but it’s noticeably lighter. Got positive digital on day 12

First three pictures are of a test I took this AM and forgot about it. Came back an hour and 30 later with a very very faint line. I know the test is invalid and I’ll be taking another in the AM.

I did take 2 others (last picture). Feeling a little bummed. I’ve never had an evap or indent in the many years I’ve taken pregnancy tests. I am hoping to get a real positive but wanted to share these.

Sooo worried after a traumatic loss this year and hoping we’re not heading into another one. I feel like my 13 DPO tests (especially in the evening) were showing the beginnings of a dye stealer, and since then currently at 15 DPO it’s not getting much darker. Has anyone had similar and had a positive outcome? Do I just need to be patient?

Had labs drawn earlier this week, 67 at 11 DPO and 294 at 13 DPO. Next one is monday so I’m spiraling a bit!

Hi all! I feel like I’ve been seeing a line like this the last day or 2 right at 5 min mark and seems to disappear eventually. Does everyone get this type of line for negatives? Sucks to see this at the time mark that the test tells you to read it and it not really be anything?

I’m 10 DPO and I’m legit losing hope! I tested early now since my period is supposed to start in 5 days but I’m over analyzing everything! PS this is my first time ever trying for a baby with my husband! 😭 IS 10 DPO STILL EARLY 🙏🏽

As the title says- the beginning from 8dpo (evening) to this morning at 14 dpo (day of expected period). From 9-14 DPO have all been FMU. How do you feel like these are progressing? Trying to remain hopeful after a loss!

Has anyone had this happen and still turned out pregnant? I tested positive yesterday morning with FRER at 5:30 AM then tested negative since. Also took clear blue pink dye and digital. I don’t think it was an evaporation line as the positive showed up in 2 minutes. SOS!
