I'm with peeonastick.com in that....false positives are just about freakin' impossible...AND it has color....so i'm going to say this is your BFP!!!!!

I MAY have gotten mine yesterday, too. Gonna test again today as soon as I get off the boards and go to the store. I'm going to buy a FRER and a digi.

GOOD LUCK! Hoping for both of us that those lines get darker and darker.

From my experiences this could be one of three things...

1. You are having a chemical pregnancy, your hcg levels have come up just enough to show on a test and they are already going back down. (I hope not).

2. Like you said, leaving the strip in your urine creates a false positive - I know there is no such thing as a false positive BUT this has happened to me.. I held a frer in the urine for too long, this soaks the little pad at the end too much causing the pee to run back along the test strip. The dye does not want to stick to the test line so it gathers around the edge of where the test line should be, and this creates what appears to be a second line but slightly off where a real positive is. Does this make sense? Anyway that has happened to me..

3. This has also happened to me with my first pregnancy - I had a very negative BFN on an IC. I left it out and when I came back to look at it about an hour later there was a verrry faint bfp. I ignored it because your not supposed to look after the time limit. But I was pregnant and over the next few days my ic lines got darker and started coming up within the time limit! I hope this is the case for you!

They are just my experiences.
Goodluck!

PS. It looks like a BFP to me, I really hope it is! Can't wait for you to test again

Thank you ladies, you're all so lovely

I've been testing 2-5 times a day since 8DPO. All BFNs.

I just tested with a digi and got 'not pregnant' (which I was expecting). That was the final straw for me - I burst into tears.

Seriously, girls, I feel so low right now. I've never got any sort of line on a HPT and the first time I do, it's an evap.

I guess I could be pregnant, AF's not arrived, although I'm not due yet, and I haven't got my bloods back yet, but I just doubt it.

I'm fed up.

I'm sick of TTC'ing every month, then having to deal with the disappointment.

I'm sick of being on my period when I feel like I should be celebrating a .

I'm sick of waiting to ovulate, then waiting to see if I get a , then AF coming right on time.

I'm sick of testing and feeling like I'm the only person in the world who gets s.

I'm sick of seeing pregnant women and babies everywhere and feeling jealous.

I'm sick of feeling like a failure and worrying that I can't have children.

I'm sick of not being able to trust my body.

I'm sick of this already and it's only been five months

Thanks for your reply, honey!

No. 3 got me hopeful, but 4 days later, no darker lines, if there are lines at all

Must have just been a nasty evap

Those tests look a lot like the ones I had with my first. I tested day 25 of 28 and got BFN, no sign of a line at all. A week later, tested again because AF hadn't turned up and, sure enough, BFP....

My recent (as in last 2 days) experience is that lines show up SOOO much better with FMU than later in the day.

Also, evaps are grey, not pink. I'd say your line is pink. Try and chill (impossible I know) for a day or so and try again first thing in the morning.

Any news? You know i'm in the same boat as you....got a very clear BFN today. Gonna try again tomorrow with FMU. I've been reading that women with PCOS can show up negative for weeks or months, even if they're preggo though....so that both gave me a little bit of hope AND drove me crazy. lol

*hugz* Hang in there, girl.

Okay girls, I'm going to call the hospital now to see if they've got my results. I'm super nervous, because I just know I'm not pregnant. At least I have the other results to look forward to, though. Wish me luck!!
