April Showers Bring May Flowers - May Testing Thread *9 BFPs and Counting!*

[Literati_Love]

Sophie - the tests at the doctor’s are often not as sensitive. Try not to worry!

AFM - I got my health stuff sorted out today, so now I’m extra hopeful for my BFP this month!

Has anybody any experience with freedom hcg tests?

I had a sad day yesterday because I got a BFN at 11dpo. Well long story short I think I was out one day and I’m only 11dpo today. Took a frer with fmu and now I’m seeing a vvvvfl and I think I’m going crazy lol. It was very hard to pick up on camera but can anyone else see it?

GP sent me to early pregnancy unit today due to the spotting and pinching. They did a urine test which was negative. I have done 9hpts today. 2 frer, 1 cb and the rest IC's, all faint but deffo there without squinting (couldn't get great pics) I've had bloods done and they are going to call later with the results. Fingers crossed theirs just aren't as sensitive. XView attachment 1060906 View attachment 1060908

When I was 4 weeks (2013) I had blood hcg of 347. At 5 weeks saw a midwife and she did a urine test that came up negative (freaked me out) but said their tests were crap not to worry. I went home did frer and the test line was darker than control line so I believe their tests aren’t great xx

Testing tomorrow with a digital... I am hoping I get my bfp. I am currently on CD 56 with no signs of AF coming. I was researching online about possible reasons for my tests not really showing anything and it says after 5 weeks there could be too much hcg for the tests to pick up. Any advice or insight on this?

Amanda - maybe get a blood test? That will give you much clearer answers.

Taybabes I think I see something!

 

[co_fostermom]

Sophie I wouldn't worry about it, those are all very clear positives. They get those tests in bulk and I think they're like 100 as opposed to FRER which is 12.5. Did they tell you to come back in a few days? Maybe ask for a blood test?

They gave me a blood test and I've got to go back tomorrow. They was supposed to phone in the night with my results but didn't, so I'm up at 4:45am waiting to ring them haha. On a positive, I feel sick this morning and I have never had morning sickness in 3 previous pregnancies so hopefully a sign of rising hcg. Xx

 

[Sophie1234]

Frer from this morning and progression from yesterday am. The hospital tests must just be rubbish cause they are clear as day positives now x

Yeah I think the hospital and office tests start at 75-100. How many dpo are you?

I'm really not sure. If I go by when I had what felt like O pain and Ewcm then I'd be 12dpo today x

 

[co_fostermom]

Sophie that's great progression! I'm sorry the doctor never called you back. How frustrating!

From past experience the times when AF late and negative tests it meant I didn’t ovulate I have pcos which is very common for me not to ovulate each month and even when I do get AF. I would go and see your GP for a blood test and go from there. Sorry it is such a complicated cycle for you xx

 

[Sophie1234]

Hospital just called and my blood work was only 15. I can see progression so I'm really hoping that when I go back tomorrow they have risen. I've never been so worried xx

 

[TayBabes92]

I have a serious poas addiction I held for 5 hours and did another frer and it’s getting darker (top 7am/bottom 12pm). Way more obvious in person and pink in colour. I also used a frer from a different box just to be sure the first wasn’t an evap.

It could still be very early and implantation happened later. It can take hcg 48-72 hours to double. FX’d it is rising tomorrow. I’ll be thinking of you xx

A 15 hcg level is a positive result. Congrats!

The lines do show progression. FX the levels double on the next test.
