First Response HPTs

[Ngala]

Hiyas.

After some help here as I am driving myself mad wondering if I am really pg or I just got 2 packs of dud hpts.

I tested with the First Response test strip on the afternoon of 24 December, I was 8dpo then. And got a very very super duper faint line, it came up within the 5 min timeframe. I tested again on the 25th December 9dpo with another First Response test strip with FMU and got another super duper faint line but DH could see it. So I got super excited because my temps on FF are high and staying consistantly high over the 3 days. I didnt have any tests yesterday to try with FMU so I tested about lunch time after I went to the shop and bought a First Response test strip and the First Response Early Result. I tested with the First Response Early Result because I thought surely I would get a result as AF is 1 or 2 days late and the First Response Early Result says that it can pick up from 6 days before your missed period. So I was utterly gutted when it came up as a BFN! I ripped open the First Response test strip and tried with that and again a BFN I left it at that yesterday and tested again this morning with FMU (11dpo) with the First Response test strip and there is a super duper faint line but its about as faint as the one two days ago and I thought that it would be darker!! And I cant be totally certain that it came up within the 5min time frame but you can def see it now that its dried.

So, I was just after people's experiences with their pos HPTs, inparticular the First Response brand - did you have a definite 2nd line at 11dpo or was it still pretty faint?

Could I be getting evap lines?? The 2nd line is the same shade of purple and surely I can't be getting evap lines on all 3 tests??!! The 8 & 9 dpo were from the same pack and the 11dpo was from a new pack.

As i mentioned above I am maybe 1 or 2 days late with AF. My cycles are either 25 or 26 days with my last cycle being only 25 days. On Saturday I had a backache, cramps and pains going through boobs and I was tired & needed an arvo nap. Yesterday I had a few cramps but sore boobs gone, I did have a headache that lasted all day. Today, I feel normal.

Feel free to look at my FF chart too.

TIA!!!
