small sliver of a line?

So, I took took two tests today. One was a BFN, the other had a small sliver of a line, just where the edge of the test line would be, towards the top, but it was very dark. Do you think that means anything?

We TTC this month, the first month after going off the pill. When we conceived our DD, it was the same scenario (first month off BC). According to a 28-day cycle, I'm 4 days late, but I actually have no idea when I o'd, so I may not actually be "late."

I have no idea if any of this makes any sense, but I figured I'd throw it out there. Naturally, I'll test again tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone has heard of a sliver of a line being a BFP before.

TIA!

Hmmm...that is a strange one. I've always heard that anything in the positive area is a positive...but I've never heard of a sliver of a line, just faint lines. Weird. Be sure to report back tomorrow. lol

I had a hard time reading mine at first, too, but this site has photos of positive results that you can compare to...

I did retest this morning and didn't get any line at all. Still no AF, though, either, so who knows? I'll repost if something develops! (fingers crossed!)

I'm now 20 weeks pregnant. I used OPK from dollar general and it showed when I was Ovulating. I took a dollar general pg test only 11 dpo and I saw a very very very light line. My husband dismissed it b/c it was so light. Almost had to strain to see it. Turns out it got darker every day, so keep testing!!

Just wanted to update:

After a few days of testing and getting the faintest lines possible, AF reared her ugly head. I think I can chalk it up to a chemical pregnancy. It's funny b/c I was totally nauseous in that distinctly pregnant way, and w/i hours of starting AF, the nausea dissapated entirely!

I'm not too discouraged. The good news is that I ovulated and DH's stuff did the job. It just didn't "take" for whatever reason. There's always this month...
