10 dpo - symptoms, faint lines, going insane!

Ok - so im a poas-aholic. Tested last night at what is I think 9 dpo - and SWEAR that i saw a line within 5 minutes - then later when it dried - couldnt tell if the line had color still or if it was a evap. So i tested again this morning, same thing.... and again this afternoon - kind of the same thing, but seemed fainter - but I am assuming its b/c it was not fmu.  I have been having centralized cramping since around 5-6 dpo - and it has been pretty constant - nothing painful - but annoying enuf to know its always there. And I also feel very bloated, and have since these cramps/dull pains have started. Normally when I get close to af, i get cramps 2-3 days before, I am not due until saturday....so kinda confused since this all started early --- So my question is - what do you think.... am i still in the running -- or should i be chalking all the cramps up to pms -- and the "i think i saw a line - squinters" to evaps? Has anyone ever had the same thing and FINALLY get their bfp? (on a side note, we have been trying for almost 2 years, and 2 months ago had a leep procedure done but not problems, or cramping, or anything associated with the proc.)

so i am guessing i am out. this is the day before af, and i am getting some spotting. so apparently my body was telling me something different.. gd only knows what. and my eyes were playing major tricks on me. but on a positive note, my hubby did see those lines i was talking about - so it only confirms to me to STOP wasting my $ on those dollar store tests b/c they all had evaps. every.single.one. - oh well - on to next month! Thank you everyone for your input. This is the first time ive ever posted. hopefully someday i will be able to post a bfp. good luck to you all.

I too can relate to what your saying,we have been trying for another baby for many many years.also a pee on a stick addict.my medicine cabinet was full of test every month.its so hard not to.I used to purchase the ones with lines,I think because i liked the look of the possible faint line.as gave me hope.but in all fact drives you insane.so yep get a better one.good luck..and dont give up...

I know what you mean, believe me. I've not been trying as long as you, but it is crushing to see that little blue line and it be an evap line. Good luck to you, and I really do hope you get a BFP! Keep us updated!

Thanks everyone - i cant express how much i appreciate other perspectives and thoughts - hard keeping it all up in your head, nice to talk to others, and - its so hard not to test, and not to keep looking at the old tests, wondering and hoping. Am really going to try super hard and not take another one until i am actually late - This false hope business is driving me insane... seems its encompassing my every thought. I did try a blue dye before, and totally agree - absolute convincing blue evap lines - talk about your dreams being crushed.

I'm a POAS-aholic too, I've used so many the last few months, I'm flat out refusing to let myself test this month until AF is LATE by more than three days. If I were you I'd get a FRER, it's one of the most sensitive tests you can get. Try holding out until you're either 12+DPO or AF is due, because all you're doing is looking at these "possible" lines and giving yourself hope that it's a BFP when it may not be. I was late last month for AF by 1-2 days and I tested, looked REALLY close and saw what I thought was a line (mind you this was a blue dye test, never use them, they love evap lines). I also tested with FRER and could swear I saw a line, even took the test apart and used a flashlight to shine through it and see...it was exactly what I knew it would be...my imagination. Blue dye tests though, seriously, don't get them. I've had multiple "positives", and it's just an evap line. I really do hope your positives mean a BFP for you!!! It may be hard but wait the few more days and test then, it should be more accurate, and if you wait until the day after AF is due, you may not have to waste your money she may show. SSSSBD!!!

It could go either way.I would invest in a decent test.ie first reponse detect up to 6 days before.or clear blue digital are good.no guessing then.good luck,fingers crossed for you.
