I was going to wait for my period to be late, but I failed. Last night I felt like I might be pregnant, so I tested with SMU today, and saw a faint line... anyone else see it? First pic unedited, 2nd pic I adjusted the brightness/contrast, 3rd is invert.
I hope this doesn't turn out to be another false positive or early chemical...

I see it, but I can't tell if it has color or not. Does it look pink to you? I'd retest on Monday. (Actually *I* would retest about a dozen times between now any Monday, but my advice is to wait until Monday and retest. lol)

Yea, its pink...hard to capture on camera because it's so light. It showed up before the 5 min mark, and darkened after. lol...yea, I'm sure I'll be testing well before Monday...many times....because once I get one I can believe and if I am pregnant, I need to start the heparin shots right away.

Definitely see it! I'd wait until tomorrow to test again though. The test lines can vary SO MUCH throughout the day depending on any number of factors... But for sure test again in the morning, whether or not you test between now and then. I TOTALLY see it, Julie!!
(also may want to put "poss bfp" or "poss preg" or something in the title)

Thanks for the reminder Erin...I updated the title. 
It's hot and I drink too much during the day...so I probably won't be able to reliably test until late night or morning again. Although I'm sure I'll do one before then anyways just hoping for a miracle LOL.

haha I do the same thing. "Maybe if I don't drink anything for an hour and then go pee five drops in a cup and dip the stick, it will magically be a BLARING BFP and I will be CONVINCED I'm pregnant." Or sometimes I'll sit and stare at my false BFP from my trigger, like if I look at it long enough, I'll be able to tell whether it's meds or a real BFP. Baby-making does crazy things to our brains

Have you tested again? It looks positive to me! It looks just like my first positive test with Scarlett at 10 dpo.
I hope you are pregnant!

I don't think it was real 
No AF yet, but I can't seem to get a line anymore. ARGH!!! Does anyone have an alternative cheapie to Wondfos that they can recommend me? These were so reliable in the past for me, but lately I seem to be getting these super faint lines that never turn out to be anything.

 I am having this SAME problem with them. It seems to be that I start getting lines that will start to get darker on 9DPO and 10DPO and then slowly fade back to nothing until I start. I think I am going to start banning myself from testing until 11DPO. I also stocked up on the Answer Brand test. They had them at Walmart for 2 plus get 1 free for $7. I figured I would give them a go this month. FRER is starting to cost to much to back up with.

I couldn't help myself and took another stupid wondfo hpt a little bit ago. Only problem is, I did not have a cup to pee in cuz I used the downstairs bathroom and didn't feel like going upstairs...so I decided to try just peeing on the little strip. So.....mindscrew....the friggin thing comes up with a faint line on it this time. LOL. Just my luck! Seriously, I might go crazy. Cuz..now I have no way of knowing if the line came up because I did not dip the test like the instructions said thus making the test inaccurate, or if it's real! POAS addiction is real. This sucks. :/ I need an intervention...

Have you tried dipping several at the same time? That is what I did when I got my first faint lines, and I figured the chances of me being pregnant were greater if all of the ones dipped at the same time came back with lines (which they did). I'll be stalking you!!

My "is she or isn't she pregnant" saga continues! I've been gone all day, not at home, and just got back. I decided I needed to take an HPT because, TMI, yesterday sex hurt. Like my cervix felt ouchy the whole time and it was extra sensitive. Sooo....I took the advice to dip multiple tests. Instead of just two, I did four! LOL. Four tests dipped....and four faint lines! Keep in mind this was not concentrated urine, I was guzzling liquids all afternoon/evening. Here are the pics - normal, brightness/contrast adjusted, and inverted:
I hope this is it!!
Do you see the lines?? They are hard to capture, but showed up right away. The top test was the darkest of the bunch (wondfos notoriously vary in dye). I'm totally going to try not to drink anything after 2am and wake up at 7 or 8am and test. If this is a trick I am totally going to cry. 4 tests can't be wrong, can they??
If my cycle was the normal 28 days like it used to be, I should have gotten AF today. But I haven't, so I guess it's CD 29. I need to get a good line in the morning...cuz then I'll call the RE and get my betas and get my heparin shots....
