Maybe sensitive - incredibly faint line on OTD?

[LCharlton]

So finally tested today (9dp5dt which for my clinic is OTD) - I used First Response early result with early morning urine. There is the tiniest faintest faintest ghost of a line - I would have thought I was hallucinating but my husband could see it too if I put the test right under the light. I will test again on Sat but is there any hope with the line being this faint? I'm thinking the most likely thing is I've had a chemical? Advice anyone? Thank you for being there, this is all so stressful!! Xx

Hi LCharlton,

Firstly there is definitely a line! 9dp is fairly early for an OTD so I would just focus on the fact there is a line! My friend had a bfn on her OTD at 10dp and then a faint line on her retest day three days later. She’s due next week so it doesn’t always mean bad news.

Do you have any more tests? I’ve always had a faint lines with fmu and stronger lines in the afternoon.

Hoping it’s sticks for you 🤞🏻♥️ xxx

Oh lord! Thank you - not giving up hope then, but what a rollercoaster!! I was saying to my husband last night "I can't stand the strain any more but at least we'll know either way tomorrow morning" 😂 - you have to laugh at some of the stuff that happens on this ride or you'd cry xxxx

[KiboXX in reply to LCharlton]

Exactly! Even when you think you’re getting an answer, it’s never straight forward! Really hope this is the one for you ♥️ xxx

This is so promising for my current situation. I really hope it works out for us all xx

[LCharlton in reply to TTCWithCHSweetheart]

My clinic's sent me for a blood test but in my case they're not hopefully unfortunately - mine are a lot fainter than yours though! Xx

I can see a line 😊 I agree with Kilbo, 9dpt is still fairly early as it could be a late implanter. Test again on Saturday, fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🍀 xx

That’s defo a line sweetie ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Xxxx

[ttcemmie]

Congratulations on the line! If a husband can see it, then you know it's there! xxx

[FrancyItaly]

I can definitely see a line, I hope all goes well! x

[AuroraXen]

Looking good to me! Wishing you lots of luck x

Hey, 9dpt is earlier than most OTDs and a faint line isn’t always indicative of a chemical. Good luck over the coming days...x

[LCharlton]

Thanks so much everyone - so 2WW continues!!! We'll see what Saturday morning brings xx

I see a line . Hope all goes well from here 😘💖💐🤞🏻🙏🏻

[LCharlton]

Two days later, I have exactly the same super-faint line on a retest - not even a feather darker - so I think I'm out. Thanks for all the support everyone xx

[Ranchu90 in reply to LCharlton]

Oh dear, I am really sorry! I know your frustrations as I been twice in this situation with my both transfers. Maybe you are not out yet 🤞

All the best ❤️

[KiboXX in reply to LCharlton]

I’m sorry you haven’t got the reassurance you wanted but you do still have a line. I know it’s hard to keep hoping but my lines didn’t get significantly darker for days so it doesn’t definitely mean it’s all over.

I also found morning tests the worst for me, I got a stronger result in the afternoon and without a long bladder hold. Worth a shot if you have another test xx

Day 9 seems early , I was 12dpt, and some 14. Let’s be hopeful 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💖💖💖💖💖💐💐💐💐💐💐

[LCharlton in reply to RhinoCat]

Aw bless you - I know, I'm 11dp5dt now, but I do think absolutely zero line progression in 48 hours is a sign it's stalled. Will ring the clinic of course xx

[RhinoCat in reply to LCharlton]

Mmmm never been lucky to have a second line but I see others chatting about it. Ring and see indeed. Best of luck to ya 🙏🏻💖💐 hold tight

[LCharlton]

This is still never-ending uncertainty - I was sent for a blood test and my beta was 40, so technically pregnant (!!!) but lower than it should be and I'm getting sent for another blood test. I'm kind of taken aback/amazed/overwhelmed at the "technically pregnant" bit but unable to process what it means in combination with "your levels are very low". I never realised IVF was basically ENDLESS SUSPENSE my nerves can't take it.

[KiboXX in reply to LCharlton]

I’m so sorry you’re still in limbo. I hope the next blood test will give you either some reassurance or answers. It’s horrible when you don’t know. Is your next blood test tomorrow? Sending you a big hug xxx

[LCharlton in reply to KiboXX]

Thank you!! Yes, I went for a blood test this morning and should have the results tomorrow evening. The doctor who took my blood actually had done four rounds of IVF herself - she has a 17-month-old son now - and she was SO sympathetic, it was kind of lovely. She was not very hopeful about my situation though given my level on Saturday xx

[KiboXX in reply to LCharlton]

Even though it’s not a great situation, I bet it was comforting having someone doing the test who actually understands how difficult this process is! Still holding on to some hope for you for tomorrow 😘

Honey I am totally with you as I am pregnant as of 16th Feb however my HCG was 38 which went to 50 which is now 65 - I am now under early pregnancy unit as clinic washed hands of me and back in for scan and bloods on Friday this week. Keep positive and here if you need to talk at all xxxx

[LCharlton in reply to Hidden]

Thank you so much - yes, this is so hard!! xxx
