Is this a BFP?

The line is darker IRL. I'm going to test again in the morning with FMU.

This is all the same test. I tested with FMU. I was 9DPO:

I see a line in every picture. I say that is most definitely a positive. Congratulations!

I'm VERY lightly spotting. This also happened 3 days ago, before I tested. Is that normal?

I'm sorry, but lines that look really skinny in comparison to the control line are commonly evap lines or indents in the test that pick up a bit of color. I would def test again to confirm and make sure you look/post a pic before the 10 minute mark is up? Good luck!

Sorry, I don't see any lines in any of them. I would test again tomorrow though!

sorry mama. I did see the line for sure on the first tests, but it was soooo skinny. Sometimes that can be just a test flaw/evap.

But you are still early. . .I tested neg at 12dpo only to get a BFP at 15dpo. And the dig tests are notoriously not super-sensitive. So all this to say, don't give up hope yet. Spotting can be normal in early preg.

What a bummer. I'm sorry I read your first test wrong. I totally would have thought that was a BFP if I'd gotten it myself! I guess what I thought looked like a pink line was just a line without color? That's too bad. I'm sorry if I got your hopes up more! I really thought I was seeing a pink line! You are still early though, you may well still get a positive this cycle. But if not, I do hope it happens soon for you!

So sorry. I had similar results happen on those tests. I got evaps on about 25% of the tests. Most people have better results on them, but I have a bad track record, so I understand.

The line was definitely pink/purple, for sure.

Today is 10DPO for me. IDK if I count myself out yet. I guess I'll wait for AF and if she doesn't show then I'll test again.

I would have gotten FRER too, but he went to the store, not me lol.

I'm supposed to be going in for a bone scan, so I need to know if I am. My dr will probably be doing both a urine and blood test before hand since I may have gotten a possible positive, whether it was false or not.

the dig may not pick it up yet. ive never had an evap on a ic, and i have used a LOT of them. here's the thing- when i've had bfps with them, the line comes up almost immediately, within 30 seconds, even when the test has been very very faint. if it didnt show till later, probably an evap. if it shows right away, probably the start of something.

It showed up pretty quick, before the time limit definitely.

Evaps or indents in certain cheaper tests can pick up pink dye sometimes.
If it is a BFN you are only going to make her disappointment greater by insisting it is a BFP. I would rather say...maybe and then have it be a BFP than say yes and have it be a BFN.
but 10dpo is super early so likely the digital wouldn't pick it up. So that you get a more definite line in the next couple days! I would use a FRER - they are rarely known for evaps and pretty sensitive. Good luck!

wow, i'm so sorry. i certainly didn't mean to make her feel bad. i did not know that IC's had so many things wrong with them with the way that everyone raves about them. i certainly will not be buying them now.

to the OP... i'm sorry, i didn't mean to get your hopes up. back in my day (4-9 yrs ago)... a line was a line, but we didn't have IC back then, not that i knew of anyway. sorry.

Aw, honey, you didn't know! It's so exciting to see people get their BFP's- I totally encourage people to test all the time!!! And I agree, since people talk about how fabulous the IC's are, who would've known they have their issues?
