Hi Everyone,
I am very much new here, so forgive me if this doesn't come up in the right place. I still haven't really worked out what i'm doing!. I have been checking this site out for the past few weeks and have found it so helpfull. I told myself i would wait until a BFP before joining but... I think i need your wisdom and advice a little earlier.
This is my 4th cycle of TTC #1 (not really trying, but not not trying) since coming of the pill after 10+ years. my cycles so far have been 28, 36 and 28 days. I have POAS a lot of times over the past 3 months-all clear negatives. Anyway, i'm not sure of my exact dates, but going on when i think i O'd (which would make it another 28 day cycle) i think i am day 13 today. Yesterday morning and this morning i POAS using first response and swear there is the faintest line. It definately came up within 3 minutes and i think it has a tinge of pink (could be imagining this part) particularly if i put a torch behind it (i sound like a mad women ) After yesterday mornings super faint test, i was hoping it would be a bit clearer this morning but i dont think it really is (i threw yesterdays in the fire so i would stop obsessing over it! so i cant compare the 2 now).
Sorry for rambling, but it is doing my head in. Just worried it might be an evap line. I don't think it would show up on my old camera to attach a photo. I suppose i should know for sure in a couple of days, but finding it hard to be patient!
Any advice/past experiences with using first repsponse from you lovely ladies would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Which First response test did you use? There is a traditional stick type one but also an Early Detection one that comes with a big absorbent bit and a plasticky casing.
I tried doing them this time on consecutive mornings and didn't notice a real difference. It was only when I did them about 2 days apart that I could.

Thanks for the reply Kim, pretty sure they are the early detection ones ( i have thrown the packet away!) Big absorbant tip with pink plastic lid thingy you put back on. Glad to hear you dont necessarily need to have a difference on two consecutive days to end up with a BFP. I was a bit bummed coz i thought it should have come up pretty obvious today if yesterday was really faint. Will test again tomorrow if AF doesn't show (and i thought waiting a whole 24hrs after yesterday morning was tough )

Haha, yes I know how tough it is.


eta thought of something. If you hold them up to the light, often what you can see is the plastic supports at the back rather than a true line - but colour is def promising.
