FRE faint line question

Okay I don't want to get my hopes up but I just took a FRE at 11dpo. It was not FMU b/c I wasn't planning on testing but there is this little voice in my head that made me do it. Anyways, I looked at the test after 3 mintues and there is a VERY VERY faint 2nd line. I do not have awesome eyesight and no one is home to verify it. How faint is too faint? I am freaking out and don't know what to think. We have been trying forever! I don't think I am seeing things or imagining it but it is faint. Has anyone had this happen and ended up preg? Please help!

11DPO, NOT fmu- and you see a line???????? Babe- you are pg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FRE does not have evaporation lines and is one of the most accurate tests out there- if you see any kind of second line at all- you are pg!

Congratulations!!!! I would take a 2nd test tomorrow with FMU and see if you can't get a darker result.

GL!

Well the same thing happened to me with that brand. Turns out I'm not pg. I'd take an ept or other testing kit to double check. Good luck! :)

No matter how faint...if that second line is there...it's probably positive...you're real early, so the line would be faint. But if there's any 2nd pink line at all ... congratulations may be in order!! With one of our kids it was that way...we were trying and watching so we tested real early and the line was so faint my husband even asked if it was too light to be positive...but no. Pregnant is pregnant. Those tests react to pregnancy hormones...if you were further along, the line would be more pink. Good luck!!

Hopefully it means that your pg!! I am on the other side I have had several of the FRE have faint but definate lines and I was not pg. I agree with try another test when AF is due, like EPT and I bet you get your BFP!!

Hi Laura--

I was in your exact position last week. I got a faint positve on FRE at 10dpo with FMU, did a second test that night and got same faint +. Did a third the next day at 11 dpo with FMU and still got faint +.( I know, nuts, but, I wanted to be sure). Went in for blood test at 11dpo and they confirmed the + with HGC of 74!

Here I am at 4 weeks 5 days!

Get a blood test! If you are like me, you won't believe it's true until you hear that confirmation from the doctor.

Good Luck!

Thanks for your responses ladies. I am praying that it is a true positive. Do you think it is too early to call my doctor for a blood test? I am shaking so much I don't know if I can drive there!

Please send me positive vibes and dark line vibes! I am just praying that that little line gets darker!

I agree with Kris...I'd go get a blood test. It really can't hurt anything. I had a faint + with FRE at 10DPO and went to my doctor that day for a B/T. It was +++, (and so have the FOUR HPTs I've taken since then!!! LOL!). I've also had 2 more B/T to measure HCG levels...at 21DPO they were at 7,744...woohoo!!! I hope you're pg!!!!!

Good Luck!

Thanks so much for all your responses ladies. I am trying to be cautiously optimistic. I called my doctor and she had me come in for a blood test. I should know the results by tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully my numbers will be good!

Thanks again and keep those positive vibes coming!

Laura,

It all sounds very positive. If it were me I would be taking about 10 more pg tests before the bloodwork came back, but then again, I'm OBSESSED!!!!! Congratulations and let us know how the bloodwork comes back.
