    Question The frustrating BFMaybe...

    Ok. I know I shouldn't have, but I did. I tested with a FRED. The line is there, but nothing to write home about. I've read about the "faint pink line" before, but I've never gotten one. I've gotten lots of BFN's before and one lone BFP, my DD(2). If it's a BFP, it should be dark by now, right? I am 10 days past FET and 11 days past ovulation. It was a natural FET, so no drugs. I hope it's not a chemical. I suppose if it's a real BFP, it will be darker (when I test again, of course). Thanks for letting me vent, ladies.

    Michelle,
    EEEeeekkk! Isn't this fun?!?! I think that everyone here has told me that HPT's are bad news and all you can take from them is BFMaybes! Every time I've ever taken a pg test it's been neg so if I ever got a faint line I'd be convinced I was pg.
    BFP thoughts for you!

    I am a bit of an hpt addict myself. A line is a line!! You are pg!!

    Congrats! Of course the beta is the only way to know how the pg is going, but for early news a faint positive is grand!! Especially, without the hcg shot!

    Every pg test I've ever taken has been -....If I ever had a line, any line...I think I'd faint.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    A line is a line! You have HCG in your system! The line does not necessarily get darker. Those HPT's test "yes or no" they do not really change based on the amount of HCG in your system. Plenty of people have had faint lines that had Betas over 100- or 200 even.
