blood on hpt = positive? Hmmm

[garfie]

So sorry Robo - the line looked so clear too - maybe this is why HPTs are used and blood tests only carried out by Doctors? - still I will BOAS as soon as my time is here

Becy - How are you getting on hun?

Dr Gumps - Not long now

Seeing Double - I am a POAS addict so something tells me I am going to be a BOAS addict too

Congrats to the ladies who BOAS turned Positive - hope you are relaxing and enjoying your pregnancy

AFM - still stalking and waiting

Not sure if to test again with blood I did normal tests and .. even with a FRER

May do another later with blood wish I had different ICs to do it with

 

[DrGomps]

Ugh it wasn't easy but I got so fed up and desperate waiting that I sort of closed my eyes and jabbed at my poor finger with the end of a horribly sharp plastic tooth pick.. :-S Sounds a bit mad now...didn't seem so at the time!

a toothpick! WOW! thats CRAZY!!! But you got your BFP!!??? PICS!!!

Well after my test that I took the other day (which had a faint but definitely there line on it), I got a positive urine pregnancy test. So theory worked for me!

Seeing double! Your my TWW buddy! DEf too early to BOAS... Lets try again at 7 dpo...so keep waiting..the waiting sucks though!!


Longingforno2...I was REALLY excited to get my pos OPK...mine never get that pos either! We o'ed on the same day! When are you going to BOAS??


I am going to do serum since i work in a lab with a centrifuge! Roll on monday!!

I may try BOAS at 7dpo too. Was going to POAS at 10dpo so will do BOAS few days prior to this. Im hoping to see a positive with blood and urine this month. Don't really wanna do the clomid again, gave me so many problems during my pregnancy with my son. Would love to have a totally natural pregnancy. Am actually feeling quite optimistic this month though

what problems did you have because of clomid with your son??? My DD is a clomid baby and my pregnancy was a breeze.

Theres lines on both one more visable but on the other theres something
there aswell irl .. Im not going to get my hopes up though .. i have loads of these
tests i had left from last cycle and didn't get anymore.. iv only got FRER's left but i will
be testing again tomorrow/saturday with them as AF is due sunday .. but it makes me
wonder why would it show up like that from my blood the 2nd line came pretty much
straight away then got darker.. i know blood will show results sooner but if im not
then it really will confuse me but ill never ever buy them IC's again if so

OOH I See them!! Def could be too early for it to register on your urine tests...FX'ed and

Ooh another one not sure about this theory now x

Hmm...you could be preggo, sometimes women get breakthrough bleeding.
BUT that line looks like its in the wrong place...is it??

Def early...fx'ed you get your bfp later hun!!

First of all the device I am using to draw blood is an automated microlancet...I suck at pricking myself so you press a button and its fast and painless! Here is a pick of it... I bought this for this experiment...I KNOW I am

the whole blood

https://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a525/teamJosie/IMG_0713_zpsce1fbcf2.jpg

I didn't dilute it at all, I just centrifuged it...

https://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a525/teamJosie/IMG_0714_zps784f3ef0.jpg

I did two attempts...the first time I got distracted by a coworker and let it sit too long and the serum got all globular...So I tried to do it, using my one serum test I had with me...and this was the result...

https://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a525/teamJosie/IMG_0712_zps0b2d691c.jpg

https://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a525/teamJosie/IMG_0718_zpsa8deaf29.jpg

Def a but kind of a mess...

So I redid it, but used a wondfo... I also tried one with breastmilk (because I can ) because I KNOW that gives me false positives...

https://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a525/teamJosie/IMG_0721_zpsc7b46d9f.jpg

To my surprise there seems to be a line on both tests...but I KNOW the wondfos are pretty sensitive and there seems to be some HCG circulating in the blood at all times, so possibly this is just a false positive result, but maybe Wondfos aren't a good choice for BOAS...I will test again at 7 DPO and see if there are any changes.

Thats my experiment for the day on HPTs!

Very cool! I have seen on the other posts on pregnancy tests part that wondfo's have been giving some false positives so maybe its a bad batch going around? great test! Was exciting to read!

 

[garfie]

Dr Gomps - Very interesting - so what's next, how many DPO are you?



X

 

[DrGomps]

Here's my test dry.

 

[whispersof3]

deff. a line! I have read so many conflicting arguments about breast milk giving a false bfp, well now I can see it does....that's kind of dissapointing

 

[DrGomps]

I have had a few false positives on wondfos. But it isn't consistent. Just a few bad tests. My breastmilk makes most tests positive. Lol.

I am a bit disappointed there is a line with the serum. But it's faint. I will test again in 3 days. I am 4 DPO.

 

[whispersof3]

I boas a bunch last cycle on dollar store tests and never got a hint of a line, I will start testing again in about 3 days. I am also 4dpo!

 

[DrGomps]

whispers, yeah, they DEF produce false positives. Unfortunately. are you nursing??

 

[whispersof3]

oh no, not for almost 2 years now. I have just seen so many women post asking about this and always feel bad by not having a def. answer for them.

 

[DrGomps]

I don't know what it is about it that causes the false positive. But I like to do it so I know where the test line should be..

 

[whispersof3]

that's a great idea! I always use the same test, but I would be confused if I ever used a different one. I am just hoping for a BFP this cycle so I can finally use one of those digital pregnancy tests, even had a dream about them a few days ago lol. These next 3 days are going to drag...

How many DPO are you? I got a pos digi at 10 DPO with my daughter.

 

[whispersof3]

4 dpo today, along long long time to go. I have never done a digi but can't wait, i seen a 3 pack for only like 9 or 10 dollars at walmart the other day. When I was preggo with my son one test was close to 30 dollars and I didn't see the point when the blood test at my docs was only 20 lol

 

[DrGomps]

ah...yes they are def cheaper! I have 5 digi tests just waiting to be peed on!

we are the same DPO!! And yes...time is dragging!! I feel like maybe I should take a break from BnB for a few days over the weekend and see if that helps...

 

[whispersof3]

My husband has sunday monday and tuesday off, so i may take those days off from thinking and maybe get out and enjoy. But I know I will still be counting down the time in my head to test....btw I love your pic!

 

[SeeingDouble]

DrGomps... LOVE the experiment!!! You are ever the scientist! I will be doing a BOAS tomorrow at 5dpo, and again Monday at 7dpo. Will post results!
