Icon5 FAINT and I mean FAINT line..help me out here.



OMG OMG OMG OMG....Am I going crazy??? 8dpt5dt and Now I see the faintest of a line???. I have been POAS for days now and nothing. Then today I swear I see the faintest of a line, almost like a shadow. Dh said he can see it to but puts no stock in a line that faint. It was my last hpt and I was not going to take anymore. Now I HAVE to go buy more. Am I crazy?? Has anyone else ever gotten the faintest of lines?? Almost like a shadow??? I dont want to get to excited if this is a fluke. I went back and checked the other ones, and they still say nothing no shadow lines or anything. WHAT SHOULD I DO??????? P.S I have never seen a positive HPT in my life. I think I am gonna puke. In a good way...

I need details!

What brand test? What's the exp date? First morning urine? I'm a POAS-aholic and with my 10 pregnancies I have become a professional POAS researcher and interpreter!!

My first sign of a line was so faint that I had to take it outside in the sunlight just to be sure!

I would agree, a line is a line!! I remember the 1st test i took that was actually a BFP wasn't that dark either. I ended up taking 4 tests (3 out of the 4 were BFP). Did you take one tonight? When is your beta? Come on girl, don't leave us hanging.

Sounds like a +++ test to me!! FRER's are always lighter than you'd think they would be. Sensitive, but light lines. I'd retest with the same type same exp date to compare!!

I took one last night, it was darker than the one yesterday. I took one this morning and it was as light as the one yesterday morning...last nights was more darker???? Is that bad?? At least with the one I took last night I can see it with the lights oof in the daytime in my house. The one yesterday morning I could see...but had to turn the lights on to make sure it wasnt grey. But the one last night was pink for sure a really light pink but pink!! Hoping its not evap lines....My beta is friday morning at 7:30. This has been the longest two weeks of my life, This week being the worst...HURRY UP FRIDAY!!!!

If it is a pink line then I think you ARE pregnant!!!!!! Yippee! I have had really strong evaps before that convinced me I was pregnant, but they were on blue dye tests. Never, ever have I had an evap with a pink test.

This whole thing is pretty scary huh? I was so worried I wasnt going to get preggers with IVF, and now that I might be I am so worried about a chemical, a later M/C, and this the list goes on and on. This whole thing is such a gamble, such is life though huh?? To think that I might actually be a mother to more than my cats, dogs and other fur babies is mind-blowing. This has all been very sur-real to me and DH, up untill the faint pink lines. I just dont know what to think. AMAZING.
