I think I'm 12 DPO, and yesterday and today I've had FRER show the most ridiculously light shimmer of a line. I would call it an evap or my craziness but it shows up in time frame, and DH saw it too and agreed "something" was there. Nothing that's photographable.
I'm in no way calling it a real line, but some of you have had similar suspicious "something" that turned into BFP later - usually when testing super early.
Has anyone had that happen this close to AF though?

@runnerd: FWIW, i saw the pics of your test yesterday, and i saw what you were talking about. i'll be thinking lots of 
thoughts for you and hoping for a great update tomorrow!

While mine was earlier than yours, my first test at 10 DPO was a squinter and the one at 11DPO was EVEN lighter. I was really scared about a chemical so I waited until after 14DPO to test again and it was a strong positive by then.
ETA: I have a good line eye and would love to see it if you feel like posting.

My squinted was 8dpo and 9dpo was even lighter but by 10dpo it was pretty real. Were you unsure of O date? Also implantion could have been a bit late too.

Yes. She is 2 months old today 
I could just make it out, made Dh look and he saw something but didn't think it counted, I dipped another test and got the same thing. Next day, true BFP.

I had a squinter at 11/12 dpo. By 14 it was a for sure bfp.
Good luck!!

@T.H.O.U.: yea I'm just unsure cause I usually get 2 days of positive OPKs, but had 3 days with the strongest one on 3rd day, then ran out of OPKs do don't know when it faded out

I tested on the day AF was due, granted I O'd around CD18 so it was about 9DPO. But it was a SUPER squinter. Like I had to take a video since it would SO BARELY show up in pictures. I took a digital the same day and it was positive. Not sure that helps- but it ain't over til it's over! So if you don't get AF definitely try a digi!!!!!! FX for you!

Y'all are all giving me hope. I am just holding my breath all day waiting to test again tomorrow. Maybe I am off on O day. FX

@runnerd: Did you chart or do OPKs to determine O?
ETA: NM... I read further up and saw that you used OPKs and ran out. I think there is definitely hope that you just Oed a little later and that it is still early!

FWIW, I had 5 +OPKS in a row once and I O'd (based on temps) 3 days in to them, so it is possible you are only 9 or 10 DPO.

@MrsKoala: OPKs. i just am questioning O date bc this is the last one I got on 3rd day and it was the most positive, then ran out of OPK tests. Normally I count 2nd day of positives as O day, but now I'm wondering if it might have been a day or two later that I O'd

@runnerd: That is a really strong positive! I think you might be right and am hoping that you are!!

@runnerd: I always count the last positive as the final one, so O on that day or the next. Its never failed me
wonderful clementine / 24134 posts
I would count the day after that as O day. And if you do that then you are just now 10dpo. Keep testing.

If you are only 10 dpo then a super squinter is totally fine - FX that's what it is!
FWIW, I had basically evap lines on 3 different FRERS on 9DPO. THere was *something* there but it wasn't pink, however I knew I was pregnant (I got pregnant the previous 2 months in a row- CPs)...I woke up on the morning of 10DPO expecting there to be a nice juicy pink line. Um, nope. It looked about like yours. I was scared to death it was a 3rd CP, but it definitely was not. I was actually so freaked that I didn't test again for a week, bc it I was going to lose it, hopefully it would be gone by then (I know it's such morbid logic) and the test would be neg. If it was positive then I'd believe it a little more. It was still positive a week later, and I just put her wild self down for the night:)
I hope this is your super early BFP and that it's a very healthy pregnancy!
PS: I read somewhere that you can't judge the darkness of lines bc hpts are not able to measure hcg. All they can do is detect it. So results vary from test to test even if they're the same brand. And it does take 48 hours for hcg to double, so if it's not exponentially darker immediately, that's okay:)

Another weird shadowy line that not photographable. I give up, out of preg tests, so I'll just wait for AF to show.
It's so frustrating cause I don't think this is anything now... It hasn't gotten darker over 3 day period. I've never ever had evap lines show up on a FRER, but maybe that's all it was
wonderful clementine / 24134 posts
@runnerd: I'm sorry you still aren't seeing an update. There may be a chance it is a CP and its just best to wait it out.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
@runnerd: Boo, sorry to hear that. Hopefully you get an answer soon enough.

@T.H.O.U.: @Adira: thanks ladies. I figure it was a CP or bad batch of tests
