OK I tested .... and where the result should be is a "squint or you can't see it" line. It's very faint.

Should I retest tomorrow morning, or is it a negative?

I'd test first thing in the morning. If the line is there it will be stronger in the morning with more hormones. GOOOOOD LUCK!

A good test to do is whether your DH/DP can see it too. I didn't consider mine a :bfp: until DH could see the line too;)

I tested 11dpo and it was very faint, but I could still see a line. Test again in the morning.

Impatient as I am, I retested with another brand and this one came back negative. DP saw the line on the other test.

I'll retest in the morning though!

I'm between 10 - 14 DPO I think. I don't actually track this but I'm going through dates.

Ah, there's the trick. I avoided testing until the day my period was due, and first thing in the morning.

I'd wait a day or two and then test with your first morning urine.

Good luck Kat!

Here is my first positive at 6DPO, pretty damned faint had to hold it in the right light. It was even lighter the next day hence I thought it was a false positive. Then low and behold a few days later it got nice and dark woohoo

Mine was extremely faint too, and I was 5 weeks when I tested, It was hard to tell for sure so we went to doc and got a positive too :smiliedance: But it was really really faint.

Oh what? Its 7:40 here!!
My first HPT was SOOO faint - the only way I could see it was by putting it on a white piece of paper so that the line would have something to show up against! LOL

Best wishes!

Oh you guys its so early :p

Its a negative this morning.

Seeing as I don't "feel" pregnant at all apart from nausea, I'm putting it down to something dodgy I ate and a very naughty shadow line!

I'm feeling very sad though - it would of been a nice Christmas present!

K, I'm going back to bed now. Liam is still sleeping :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear you didn't get the result you wanted. Has anyone ever tested, had a faint positive, gone to the docs, had a negative on their test and then had something different again with a blood test? That's what mine was but I'm at the moment waiting on results of blood test....

Good luck next time!!:hugs:

My sister did a couple of home tests and had 2 blood tests to confirm she was pregnant, she knew she was but needed it confirmed... then when she started to show she was sent for an ultrasound and was told that she waas pregnant.. she was sitting there thinking... umm derr!!! but none of the tests showed positive until bout 4 1/2 months!!!

(also, can anyone tell me what the symbols 'bfn' and 'bfp' actually stand for?)
