Question

A little confused can I really be pregnant or really not?

Yesterday with Marked 14 days past ovulation and my curiosity got the better of me and I tested late in the evening and got a very very faint line so faint you literally need a LCD light to illuminate the stick to see it clearly but it was there so the next morning this morning curiosity once again got the better of me I tested again up to even this evening hours later at 15 DPO and it's all negative so I'm wondering maybe it wasn't an actual positive line at all or maybe it was I don't know look up fuse has this ever happened to anyone?

It is generally said that if you have to back light the test to see anything then it is negative. Often when you shine a light behind a test like that you'll see an indent line where the dye would pool if the test were positive. All tests have indents but they're normally not visible.

If I were in your situation I'd consider the tests negative for now. I'd retest in a couple of days if I still hadn't gotten my period. If you did have a faint line that wasn't an indent yesterday then hCG should have doubled enough in a few days to give you a nice, obvious line. If the test is negative in a few days then it is safe to assume the line in question from yesterday was an evap/indent.

Hopefully you get your BFP soon.
