Hey Ladies,
Wanted to bring to everyone's attention the difference between the different types of tests. So this morning, at 12dpo I initially used an IC and a One Step pregnancy test I got from Amazon, pics attached. As you can see they are squinter's and certainly not what I was expecting as they are meant to be 10mIU/ml. I started thinking about Chemical pregnancies etc and so then did a FRER with SMU. It was darker than yesterday's but it just goes to show the difference in the results on the same day.
I feel bad that so many women use IC's in the early days and then get disheartened, maybe I've just got a bad batch but I want all those not getting BFPs yet to hang in there, it might just be too early based on implanting etc.

I remember waiting for the Fertility Clinic with such hope, I was happier waiting for that day than any other, I believed they would help me, the only people that could. I went for my first scan very excited that they would tell me why I wasn't getting pregnant, why when I did I wasn't able to keep them and there she was, a tiny baby just starting to bud. I freaked, I didn't want to be pregnant without their help as I thought they now wouldn't help me keep her but they did, they scanned me every week for 13 weeks just so I knew my bubba was ok. That's all they did but that was enough.
Just hang in there, know it'll happen very soon
. I know the road to here has been horrendous but it'll mean you'll love the little socks off that baby when you have it. You'll appreciate your road to get there and love it so much more. I wish I could give you a hug. Sending you lots of hugs and baby dust
