Confused :/

I posted a pic of the rite aid test. The top one was fmu.

 

[Conceive81]

I read that the rite aid early result is 10 mlu.

I see the line on the top one and something is catching my eye on the bottom one. Might just be your bfp. Try a pink dye with fmu. Good luck!

I'm seeing lines there too, good luck

I didn't get a vvvf "could this possibly be positive" test until the evening of 10dpo and even then it was hugely questionable. The tests were just a smidge darker with fmu on 11dpo but I finally got a positive FRER that evening. My smu and evening urine seem to yield the best results.

 

[Conceive81]

Well, took two ic’s This morning and they were stark white. 10 dpo today. I’m so confused!

 

[Sushai]

Sorry about the stark white tests. I had the same happen as bdb84. My fmu tests kept coming negative but smu and evening urine showed a line. I finally got a positive with fmu around 12dpo but had positives since 10dpo with evening urine. Do you have any more tests to try in the evening?

ICs can be weird about how sensitive they actually are. I'm using 4 different brands of tests right now. FRER gave me a good positive at 10dpo (15miu), one IC dip strip gave me a vvvfl (10miu), one barely showed anything (25miu), and one IC midstream gave me a vvvfl (25miu). At 13dpo, my first brand of IC dip strips showed some progression but not a ton, the other still barely registered a positive at all, and the IC midstream gave me a nice strong BFP. So the ICs that gave me my first and strongest positive of the three IC brands I'm using isn't great for showing progression (even though it's supposed to be the most sensitive of all my tests), one is next to useless and barely shows anything at all ever, and the third wasn't good for an early positive but has been great for progression.

Go figure!

Anyway, what my rambling here is getting at is to not feel too discouraged if your ICs aren't picking up on much. They're cheap for a reason!

Thanks for the feedback ladies! I do have a first response left that I’m waiting to use, my boobs are not sore anymore though, and my back is aching like I’m about to have my period any minute.

I am wondering if
A) rite aid test was right and picked it up and hcg just hasn’t doubled yet
B) rite aid test is wrong

With the girls I showed around 9-10dpo because there were two. I’m wondering if this might be because there is only one?

I type this as I feel period like cramps.

It's hard to say - blue dye tests are so unreliable! It could go either way. It could be that it was more sensitive than your ICs and picked it up when they couldn't. It could be that the test was dodgy.

Period-like cramps aren't usually a good sign, but you know, I had minor cramping for days this cycle and ended up pregnant. That's another "it can go either way" sort of thing!

Being in limbo and not knowing is the worst! FX that AF stays away and your FRER gives you a nice BFP soon!

 

[Conceive81]

It may still be early but my boobs feel fine now. Anyone else have symptoms come and go around 7-10dpo?

 

[Dill]

My breast pain was really consistent this cycle, but things like irritability and skin breakouts came and went in the 7-10dpo timeframe for me!

 

[Conceive81]

Would you believe I got a transparent line on the frer? See pic as I can’t even explain it? What the heck? Did I manage to get all the weird tests? This is driving me bananas!!!

 

[Pocket]

I am worried I may have the same problem. Took FRER two days ago, BFN, stark white (as you so aptly put it). This morning I took the same blue dye that you did, positive. Not dark but clearly there. I haven't tried another FRER yet. I will tomorrow (and probably tonight as well lol, I may be addicted). You're the third post today who got positive on that blue test and negatives on the pinks. Making me very nervous. Very nervous indeed. Will you test again in a few days? If you're not due AF yet, I wouldn't count you out!

 

[Conceive81]

Bonkers I tell you..bonkers.

 

[Conceive81]

I’m so sorry to hear you’re in my hell how many dpo are you?

 

[Pocket]

I’m so sorry to hear you’re in my hell how many dpo are you?

I have no idea. I miscarried at the end of January and have had weird bleeding/spotting since. I don't know if or when I ovulated! I don't even know when to count as my LMP!! If I count from the last time I had spotting, +14 days for average, then only 4 dpo! But that doesn't make any sense! I'm in limbo hell! I only tested because I haven't had a proper period and I've been so nauseous and tired. To my surprise it was positive! WHAT?!

 

[Conceive81]

I’m so sorry Pocket, that sounds awful! But congrats on your bfp!

I’m so sorry Pocket, that sounds awful! But congrats on your bfp!

Yes I'm still in limbo land. Took a FRER and a blue dye both this morning. FRER BFN, blue dye was darker positive than yesterday. Really?

Have you tested again?
