Update: Faint BFP (maybe)

So, after my little rant the other night & flipping out I decided this morning while I was waiting to get out of bed to do a test. I was planning on going out tonight & wanted to get the usual BFN so that I wouldn't feel guilty if I had a drink. Well, that went out the window b/c there is a very faint but pink line next to the control. I squinted & looked & gave myself a headache. It came before the 10 minute mark so I'm hoping that it's not just an evap.

I think I'm cracking up. It’s faint but it’s there. I’m just hoping that I’m not going colour blind and seeing a grey line as pink. Of course, loony tunes me takes it with me and I can’t stop looking b/c I don’t believe it. I’m here saying, "no that’s not pink" and then I look and think, “duh, that’s pink” so I put it away and then start second guessing myself again and look again….ugh. Then I start thinking that it’s faint so maybe it's not positive but all of my tests with my youngest were faint and I've even gone as far as taking it to work and asking one of the other girls what colour it was. She said one bright pink line and one light pink line.

Maybe I'll test again tomorrow morning or wait a day or two. I am so scared that if I test again that it'll come up negative and this was a false positive or an evap and that I'll be back at square one again....ugh. Today is CD52, and 29 days late....I don't think I could handle another negative without AF showing up.

Sorry for rambling...

Hi Allie! No need to apologize for rambling...we all do that! :) And just so you know, when I got my first BFP it was soooo super faint that I thought the same thing, is it pink? is it gray? is it even there?? But sure enough, it got slightly (and I mean really slightly) darker each day. I think I waited about 4 days after my first BFP and took a digital... seeing the word "pregnant" was what did it for me! Good luck and I hope you get that BFP!! Keep us posted as you test again...

This might sound funny but I jus wanted to thank you for making me feel better. It's good to know that I'm not the only person who practically makes herself blind staring at lines.

Congrats on the baby...wishing you lots of luck in the coming months.

You're very welcome! Trust me, anyone that's TTC knows the pains of going half blind and driving their DH or SO absolutely batty with always checking that line. "Is there??? I know I see it, can you??" :) It's all good...


I really hope you get dark line that we all crave to see! :)

Oh Allie!


I was dying of laughter reading your post because we have all been there! And what you are saying is what we all have said! I would even go to different lights in the house and outside to see if I could see it better! You know you see something but at the same time you think your crazy! I do know if you keep your test, and after 48 hrs if the line is still there it was not an evap. I had a lot of tests laying around!(actually lined up on the counter with times on them).


GL I am hoping for you!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you guys but I was away for the weekend at my fiance's mom's house. I have officially peed on six tests since Friday morning and they all have those two lovely lines...BFP. After taking my 5th positive this afternoon I went to Wal-Mart and got a First Response just in case the other dipstick things from eBay, dollar store tests and Clear Blue Easy were wrong....but no, the First Response is so pink I could blind someone with it.

I still didn't tell my DF yet. He gets a little weirded out when I start peeing on things so I decided to wait a little bit, until I knew for sure (I know, I'm thinking I'm crazy too considering the amount of tests). I'm telling him tonight since he was with me when I bought the last round of tests this afternoon. We weren't planning, not by any means but we do want a third baby. We just thought that the youngest (16mths) would be out of diapers before we started trying. My face gets hot thinking about it but I'm not upset, just a little overwhelmed with all the planning that I have to do now. Definitely need a bigger car, bunk beds, new car seat, etc. I should be due around October 10th but I'll most likely need an ultrasound for dates since my period was so off....ugh, the planning -- time off work...lol.

Anyway, I wanted to thank you guys for all the support through my 52 cycle days before getting my news. I'm probably going to lurk around for another little while since it's still all sinking in.

Sending lots and lots of baby dust around to all of you....good luck and thanks again for all the support.

Congrats!!!! I'm secretly hoping that my little late ovulation and chart oopsie resulted in a pregnancy. I would be excited if I was. Im working on potty training my 18 mo old so if i am then he will hopefully be out of diapers by then.
