A post from an online forum I visit

" I am currently on CD38 (AF is a "week" late) and no sign of AF.

My boobs are sore and hot, I have been so tired it isnt funny but they're about the only 'symptoms' I have and I know enough about my body to realise that this could be quite normal for my body pre-AF.

I did a HPT last Wednesday which was BFN, and then again on Thursday morning (coz I thought FMU would provide a different result ) which was also negative.

Fast forward to this morning, I used FMU for a First Response HPT. At first I thought it was negative - there was no definate line after the required time and there seemed to be dye still running across the strip. I checked a few times in the space of about 10 mins and the dye was still running across the strip but no definate line.

I checked it again after about 30-40mins and there is a very, very, very faint line. So faint it won't even show up on a camera but DH confirmed it was there and I'm not seeing things!!

I know in all reality it is probably an evap line (it's pink though?) and that the test shouldn't be read after the amount of time it says but I can't help but wonder whether I didn't dip the stick for long enough and perhaps this is why the dye took so long to cross the panel, making it hard to see this faint line??

WDYT? I know I should just get another HPT but perhaps someone could shed some light on whether this is an evap line or not?

ETA: Just thought I'd add that I know that if it IS a positive result that it shoud be a lot darker given that AF is technically late. Does anyone know when the latest you can ovulate is?? "
