Everything You Wanted To Know About POAS...But Were Afraid To Ask

[Natsby]

No My Dr did the results for me to give to the specialist, But I haven´t had a chance to see her yet. I did google it but just got bogged down in stats. So I thought I´d float it on here too. Dr Google said you FSH has nothing to do with egg quality, great so why do we bother!! Jax blus line, oh now I have to scroll back and see what you are peeing on.

Hi Nats I peed on a blue line HPT a month or so ago, much to Dmom's disgust, she refused to read it Butterfly got a + on a blue one so I'm determined to do the same!!! Hurrah for blue dye tests!!!

My one and only first BFP was a blue dye test. I had no idea about the evap lines back then the positive came up pretty quick so i guess just don't read them after 20 minutes.

Dr D mom...can you give us your take on these? https://www.babyandbump.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=334589&d=1328281836

She said it took forever for the lines to show...I suggested she test with a FRER (btw this is a person on the February testing thread) I know these dollar store tests have had issues before so I wanted your imput for her...are these evaps? https://www.babyandbump.com/trying-...-36-february-testers-please-come-join-18.html

Hahahaha yes I am on CD2 and that me hahahahaha

Liz, how many DPO is she? I can see color in the line, but it looks fairly thin...my gut says evap and I hope to hell I am wrong.

If she is testing earlier than 10DPO, I'd be a little nervous.

Let me get her to this thread so she can answer

Hi guys, thanks for taking the time to look at these photos. Unfortunately they were hours old when I took the photo. Initially the lines were thicker and colour all the way through but they thinned as they dried. The one today took about ten minutes to show up. I also used a different Internet cheapie test and it also had a really really faint line. I am 13dpo with a normal lp of 12 days with spotting 2 days before AF. So far - nothing! FF may be 2 days out I suppose but I doubt it. I have already had an early mc which started with me worrying why my tests were not getting any darker but the first test was darker than these.
Thanks again for your help. L x

 

[dachsundmom]

I trust what you see, IRL...if there was a line there, within the 10 minute time frame, then the test is good...oh, those $ Tree tests, seem to take forever and a day to darken, so I wouldn't be too concerned about the depth of the line.

Hi dachsundmom,
Sorry to bother you again. Just wanted to update you and ask a bit of advice. After the faint positives on Thurs and Fri and initially a very faint pos then a neg on Sat and a complete neg on Sun bleeding started on Mon for only 36h then stopped v quickly last night. My BBT only dipped below coverline one day - Monday. I thought I would test again this morning. Not my fmu - more like 3rd but at least 3h since last wee. The test was positive within 2 minutes - much quicker than last week. I have taken a photo on my phone after about 8-10mins when the test was still wet. What do you think? My head is saying residual hcg after a chemical but it is so odd that I had negative tests over the weekend.
Any opinion is appreciated - even if it is telling me to get a grip!!
How are you doing?

 

[LalaR]

Here is the photo

 

[LLbean]

LalaR...wow!!!!!!!!!! did you do a FRER by any chance? How long was the bleed for and how intense??? some times its just the bean getting snuggled in...I'd do a FRER and if that is positive go to the doctor for bloods...FXd!

 

[dachsundmom]

That test is positive...no doubt in my mind.

I think you need to call your doctor and ask for a blood drw, bc a CP won't darken on the tests, they just go lighter.

You might have had a decidual bleed, just bc it was time for AF...I am only guessing, but it is definitely time to get a medical professional involved. And, you are not bothering anyone, so don't apologize for anything.

 

[LalaR]

No FRER tests left - used the 2 I bought at the weekend and nowhere localy stocks them. These are the tests we have at work. The bleeding lasted a couple of days nd was just like the red stage of AF then suddenly disappeared to spotting overnight. I am hoping it doesn't return but I am feeling a little bit crampy still.
I have discussed this with a GP and the thought is to retest in a couple of days and if it is still positive do a blood hcg then. I had just got my head round the pregnancy being over so I am totally messed up now. Not told DH - better waiting until I know what is going on.
Thanks for your advice. xx

LalaR I continue to send positive vibes your way and hope that it was just implanting or something...Hang in there!!!
