***December Testing thread - hoping for a Christmas Miracle***

[Deethehippy]

9 DPO today and been testing since yesterday with cheap internet One Steps. Yesterday evening got a line (hard to tell colour) and then tested again this morning a few times and no lines and then my last tests this afternoon had weird broken lines that all had colour but were not complete.
Don’t ‘feel’ pregnant today but do have a bit of a upset tummy and tweaks in lower right side.
First pic is yesterday pm test (8DPO)
Next pic is this morning (answer test has faint grey line but I always get those on them)
Last pics are this afternoons tests.

Is it just a bunch of faulty tests/bad batch do you think??

I had one of those a couple of days ago, only half a line. Done several since and all bfn. Also the last batch I could see very faint shaddows in the deep background if you know what I mean? Must just have been the test strip or something. I've used these for years and they've been ok in the past but now I'm not getting excited until I see a proper bit of colour.

Hope your tests do become nice BFP's xxx

I can see it very clearly in the first photo, but not sure how to interpret the others. Maybe try a different type of test tomorrow and see?

I am also having a bit of a funny tummy today, but I think it’s the result of a big earthquake we just had here. We are far enough from the epicentre that we are fine, but dh and I went running outside in a panic! All the lamp shades were swinging, dh’s mountain bike was knocked over, and all the dishes in the dishwasher were knocked around. Hoping we won’t feel the aftershocks

That sounds so scary! I’m glad you are ok. I expect that could upset your tummy though.

@Jessylou4 oh I'm so sorry hon Sending huge hugs and I hope the next cycle is your lucky one.

@Deethehippy fx for you honey the line is so clear in that first pic!

 

[BabyBrain80]

@Deethehippy that first one defo looks good xx

@Deethehippy the first ic and the frer are super obvious! Those others are weird but i feel like if there wasn’t hcg to detect they wouldnt have such dark (half) lines on them. Probably just crummy strips.

 

[Rach87]

Definitely have something going on over here. Lower abdomen feels almost sore. Not normal for me. Last night watching tv when i would rest my arms on my stomach putting pressure on my uterus it ached. So hoping its turns into 2 lines and not just a cruel coincidence. Tested ridiculously early today at 7dpo lol you know, I just needed a negative baseline to compare too.....
here they are for your non squinting entertainment.

Took another two with hardly no hold and weaker pee and Uber Uber faint lines. Will try a 4 hour hold and just keep testing tomorrow. Maybe they have different amount of dye in them? I may have ordered a few Wondfro to see if they are any better..arriving tomorrow.

Good luck for your tests in the next few days. Totally with you on early testing and checking out the tests

@ciz and @Teafor2 thank you so much for the reassuring stories!! I haven't had any cramping today and my boobs have literally grown a cup size overnight lol, I'm so excited to test tomorrow and see what's up

@Deethehippy that's a lot of faint lines!!! i wonder if perhaps your body makes more hCG in the evening? since your afternoon tests are darker both days? there's natural rhythms of hormone release that follow circadian rhythm (intuitive sense of time)... maybe try testing around the time of night when you naturally feel really tired and ready for bed?

Thank you I will hold and try testing again later. I just always assumed SMU would be best because that has always given me the best OPK results but I peed twice in the night and hardly slept.

Good luck with your test tomorrow!

 

[wrapunzel]

@Deethehippy good luck for your test I personally always start my flow in the early AM and ovulate in the late afternoon/early PM. Different for everyone

 

[Rach87]

@Deethehippy i can still see lines! Wondfo is what i use so I’m curious your results with them

 

[Reiko_ctu]

I’m so sorry @Jessylou4 hugs and love to you.

I wish I had a ton of tests, I so badly want to see if my line is getting darker or not. The blood is scaring me. It’s just like period blood but only a tiny bit and I haven’t had any bad cramps. Gah.

my bf says some women have “hormonal bleeding” at their usual period times for the first few months of pregnancy but I can’t find anything credible about that and why would I have it now when I didn’t the first 2 times around???

Your BF is correct! True story. Happened to a friend - had months of periods and has a happy 6 year old, and it happened again with her youngest!

 

[Rach87]

My good friend had been trying for a year, finally got a bfp and when she went for her 6 week US she was 10 weeks, had a full period first month.
