10dp5dt, faint line - BFP??

[Mim9]

Hi all,

After a very challenging journey we finally made it to the anxiety induced two week wait. Our clinic has asked us to test on day 13 but I just couldn’t wait any longer and tested this morning which is 10dp5dt (I held out for as long as I could!) This is our first FET with our only embryo, so we are putting all our hopes into this working. Apart from sporadic mild cramping/pulling sensations over the last couple days I haven’t had any symptoms. I did have an upset stomach and bloating the day of transfer and the day after but this settled quickly. Can anyone shed any light on whether the line should be darker at this point? Or whether there is a chance it’s a false positive? It’s the first positive pregnancy test I’ve ever had and I’m trying to not get too excited but it’s so hard!

This is just a cheap clear and simple test but I’ve brought some clear blue ones to test again tomorrow morning. Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated.

Thank you xx

It's definitely positive 😊 and I would think close to zero chance of a false positive given that it's clear and pink. In terms of darkness, I've not tested on that brand. I tested on both FRER and internet cheapie strips and the FRER got really dark before the strips were even noticeable lines! So the test sensitivity makes a massive difference. So based on the fact you said it's a cheap brand, I'd say it's darkness is likely not a worry. I was an insane repeat tester, testing daily to see progression, so totally understand you wanting to test with a more sensitive brand tomorrow. But for today - cautious but happy congratulations 🩷😊🫂

Thank you for your reassurance and helping me put my anxieties at ease a bit. Hopefully with time and like you said a more sensitive brand there will be a darker line! Xx

At my clinic you were asked to test on day 9, that's a stronger line than mine so I would say it's definitely positive! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you x

Definitely positive 😌 I'm on 9dp5dt and been getting negatives my testing day is next thrusday. I'm still praying as I have also been having cramping, and like pulling pains. No spotting or bleeding though. I wish you good luck. ❤️

[Mim9 in reply to SprinkleGlitter]

Thank you 🙏🏽 I didn’t get any spotting or bleeding either just some cramping/pulling pains a few days before I tested. I’m hoping you get a late implanter and see a positive soon! Fingers crossed for you xx

That line looks great! It’s completely normal to worry about whether it’s dark enough, but at 10dp5dt, a positive is a positive. Line progression can vary depending on the test brand, urine concentration, and even the time of day you test. The fact that this is your first ever positive makes it even more special. It's understandable to feel cautious, but also let yourself feel a little hope.

Testing with a different brand tomorrow should give you more reassurance, but for now, this is a really good sign. Sending you so much positivity for your next test and beyond! xx
