    lay down with you feet in the air darlin, until you feel less faint, and then come back and maybe try another POAS it's more important that you don't faint right now. Have a glass of water and raise your feet up while lying down ok

    A line is a line! If it came up within the time frame I'd say its a BFP! Do another in a few days and it should be darker

    Hey There CF!

    I would just like to say, that the same thing happened to me this week. To the extent I took THREE tests before finally building up the courage to see the doctor (i work with him, and I was quite nervous) Got my results today! BFP!! I

    So keep those fingers crossed hunny, this could be it! =)

    Omigawd, settle hun - you certainly have the right username!!!

    Go to the shops and get more pee sticks. Get a couple of boxes of 3. My record is 9!

    Do another in the morning so it might be a bit stronger. When that one comes up do a few more for fun. Hell you can even get silly and put one in each room then run around like a mad thing looking at them all .

    A line is a line and if you have seen enough negs in the past, its almost too much to handle .

    Good Luck xoxoxoxoxo

    Wow - was just looking at your signature, can't believe we've both been POAS for the same length of time!!

    Sounds pretty good to me - hope it sticks for you!!!

    I'm going to say the opposite though...try to keep calm and try not to get your hopes up too high until you get a stronger result, which by the sounds of it will come if you got a faint line pretty quickly.

    I'd say if you tested again tomorrow or the day after, you should get a stronger result.

    I don't mean to rain on your parade at all, but just had the same thing happen to me this week. I am up to the same cycle number as you and just POAS from Thursday last week until 2 days ago (went 5 days overdue with AF too) and got the faintest of faintest lines ever on like 5 tests...kept testing for a darker line each day but never got one. Got my AF 2 days ago

    I really hope your one sticks!!! Good luck.

    Sounds like a BFP to me! Definitely test again in the morning with FMU, you may get a stronger line. I got a faint line at the GP in Feb of last year and went on to have my beautiful DS2!

    A quiet "Congratulations!" to you!

    OK...now am stressing it was an evap line. Used a Pregnosis Clear in stream early pg test. not sure how close to 10 mins I saw the line? The line is PINK and I can see it from an arms length? Stressing now...even DH was excited. I have used this brand before and never had ANY line? Are evap lines only grey/shadowy? I will test agin with FMU but having some back ache and tummy cramps now? AHHHHH so emotional. Please let me be UTD

    Like Lulu2 said, you've probably seen enough BFN's in the past to know that you're now seeing a line. Off to bed for you, at least if you're asleep you can't stress about it and when you wake up it will be time to POAS again!

    Good luck

    POAS @ 5am all BFN? But wee much paler than when I got the BFP yesterday (I hadn't been the the toilet ALL DAY? Going slowly mad. If AF doesn't show up by Monday I'll go the the docs - AF offcially due today and have some mild cramping and backache - so prob a false positive - I think the line came up too late I have NEVER had ANY line before tho?!?

    On the other hand - feeling unwell - lump in back of throat, dry mouth plus my episodes of low BP earlier in the week?!? Also - this will sound weird - my nipples are "looser" - more space "behind" them and peaks of BBs feel "lumpy" - i know my BBs well as they get close examination for two weeks every month! But maybe just wishful thinking?

    Fingers crossed for you hun!

    FWIW, I always get faint lines (maybe that's because I test so darn early LOL). They do get progressively darker as time goes on. I would suggest doing two different brands of test each day, and see how you go! You might not need to go to the Dr after all

    Question

    Wwll more than an hour after I POAS I looked at them again (I know - bad idea) and 3 out of 4 (yes 4 - i'm obsessed) had a REALLY faint line - heaps fainter than yesterday - but my wee was paler too. What are the odds of 3 evap lines on 3 diff brands? Who knows, just more to torture myself with...being an obsessive control freak can be REALLY annoying sometimes. Thanks for all the support Girls!!! I'd be even worse without you all

    Control Freak - that the lines get stronger. Have been following your journey for a little while now. I don't think 3 evap lines for 3 different brands would be very likely at all - actually I've never seen an evap line and I'd hate to think how many hpt's I've taken over the years.

    ** GOOD LUCK **

    The same thing has happened to me today CF! Very very faint line on Clear Blue brand. I have had a false positive with them before , but if you've had lots of negatives previously , you get pretty good at spotting a difference! for you (and me ) hun. Loads of babydust and sticky vibes. Test again tomorrow morning. Like AJC has said, I doubt that 3 different brands will have evap lines. Can't wait to hear your news tomorrow. Goodluck.

    I PIAC at 8 DPO and got the faintest line - you could only see it if i held it up to the sunlight. I left it 2 days and got a stronger BFP.....good luck with it all !!!

    My own BFP was hardly visible for weeks and weeks and eventually got very strong - so I'd say it's a positive for you.
