So, I am a glutton for punishment. POAS fever has gotten to me SO at 7 dpo with basically a ZERO percent chance I am BFP, I tested with the 3rd pee of the morning (* I wake around 0430 so I have A LOT of time to pee between when I wake and mid-morn. ).
I used an OSOM (20-MIU) because I have to pick up more FRERs and a 10-pack of my 10-MIU ICs. ππ€¦ββοΈ ANYWAY, there is either a start to a BFP or an indent! It captures very, very, VERY faint on my phone but is a more prevalent "line" IRL. I am super sceptical and assume it is probably an indent, but I am hopeful (as always).
A close-up (at 5 mins) .. it hasn't gotten any darker:

@paranundrum: such a big update, lots of stuff going on! Do you have laws there about being in a job for a certain amount of time before you can get maternity leave? If youβll be covered, I say go for the earlier cycle, otherwise Iβd probably wait a month or two.

@Kaohinani: oh my goodness! How amazing would that be!
@jennylayneAZ: definitely there! Congratulations!
@yellowbeach: I canβt wait for tomorrow!

@LAZB: Thank you. I really think it is a weird indent (I posted a new pic) because it is hard to see and I'm only 7 dpo, BUT, it would be absolutely amazing were it real! IDK if I will test again until 10 or 12 dpo, simply bc if it is real and ends up being a CP, I will be crushed.

@yellowbeach: Thank you. I am very hesitant to get excited as I have had indents before but not HPTs with progression. I also have had absolutely none of my non-symptoms this cycle ... like nada. I'm just not positive this could be it.

@Kaohinani: that new pic of the line is sooooo obvious! Fingers crossed!

Thanks, ladies.

@Kaohinani: That's a big step forward from your usual stark-white-can-get-a-second-line-only-if-I-draw-it-on for sure! Hopefully it's more than an indent. Fingers and toes crossed!
@LAZB: Thank you for your answer. It doesn't matter where I work as long as I work somewhere. Or actually I would get some money even if I didn't, but the sum depends on the salary earned during the previous 12 months. I would get a bit more if I worked there for a year before staying home, because my salary will be a bit bigger.
My main worry right now is letting people down, but I guess I can't keep putting other people before our own family.

@Kaohinani: ok, so that looks like a line, like not even a question. I am so sorry it took forever for me to catch this. This Monday clinic (following an on call weekend as backup trauma) has been freaking crazy. I am so freaking excited

@yellowbeach: I'm getting really excited about yours too!!! This needs to be a thing for you and kaohinani both!

@Sams Mom: @MoonMoon: @paranundrum:
Thanks. In all honesty, IDK what to think of it because I'm only 7 dpo with less than stellar odds due to our BD-ing schedule. (π€ That is freakishly early to have any line on a 20-MIU HPT.) My common sense is erring on the side of it being an indent. π€¦ββοΈ That stated, I would give my left leg 𦡠for a true [sticky] BFP.

Sorry for the shadows but this was the best pic...i obviously didn't wait till morning lol. But it's pink in person, I swear!!

@JennyLayneAZ: That is super-duper positive! π₯³ Yay!!!! Congratulations!
@crazydoglady: In all honesty, I don't know. π€¦ββοΈ I'm in the minority here as I do not keep my HPTs or OPKs beyond the 5/10 minutes. I do take pictures of anything "questionable" and I have photos of my positives from both DD (a ClearBlue Digi and an Answer Plus) and DS (Dollar Store, FRER, and ClearBlue Digi) and then I toss 'em. My biggest reason for doing this is my DD (11) is nosy and, in the past, she has told people I'm pregnant (when I wasn't ) just because she saw an HPT out on the counter. It was a huge downer to tell DH and DS (as well as her teacher and a neighbor ) that I wasn't, indeed, expecting at all. I now wrap them with TP and toss immediately. I will probably take another at 10 or 12 dpo just to see if there is any progression. π€·ββοΈ My ICs should also be here by then.
@Yellowbeach: Have you retested yet? π€

@Kaohinani: as I suspected, just trigger. No progression today, and itβs even lighter. Womp womp. βΉοΈ

@yellowbeach: I'm sorry. That wasn't the update I had been hoping for. Perhaps, there will be a more definitive line tomorrow? π€·ββοΈπ€

@Kaohinani: Nah - been down this road before. I recognize the tree line in the distance.

@yellowbeach: mother lover! I'm sorry
I know you've accepted it's a lost cycle, but honestly they look the same to me.
nectarine / 2690 posts
Thank you everyone. I'm still feeling very cautious. I took another FRER this morning and it was still pretty light. I think I'll take the digi tonight and stop testing if it says to save my sanity. @Kaohinani: I don't save tests either. I take a pic within the first few minutes and into the trash it goes!
nectarine / 2648 posts
@Kaohinani: Not gonna lie - really want to see a repeat POAS from you...

@yellowbeach: @Sams Mom:
Took one, against my better judgment (as the family was eating lunch). I think I got a bad batch of OSOM. I still see something super faint in person; however, it is even lighter than yesterday's. π€·ββοΈ IDK. It is what it is. (I didn't tell DH about yesterday's because I was THAT uncertain.)
My nifty collage for comparison:
Both taken in the same spot in the same light.

@Kaohinani: I think they're about the same, when does your new tests come in?
nectarine / 2690 posts
@Kaohinani: I agree with @Sams Mom: they look the same. But I know how pics can be too!

@Sams Mom: @JennyLayneAZ:
Intesting, today's seems lighter to me. π€·ββοΈ
Amazon is stating my ICs will show up between the 9th and the 13th. I also ordered FRERs through Prime Pantry but those won't come in until Friday.
(I'm calling my lines "nothing" at this point ... and I'm okay with it since my IUI will be next cycle.)

@yellowbeach: I know, seriously, eh? π€·ββοΈ Major Limboland!
I'm just assuming it is a bad batch until there is a change otherwise. Of course, today I began intermittent cramping so, going by last month's trend, AF is a week away. π€¦ββοΈ Atleast I have my IUI to look forward to.
