*** February Testing Thread***

@Tasha36089 Beautiful lines.
@AlwaysTheAunt sorry about the bfn
@Mum42crazy I see something on there
@Rach87 Thanks for the thread


Afm I'm 13/12 dpo and got a faint positive yesterday morning on FRER. Barely visible.
YEsterday afternoon FRER negative.
And this morning the line is back. Looks VERY similar to an evap BUT they came up in the time frame, and are from different batchs. Heck, different towns. Didn't buy them at the same place at all.

So, I am confused. The line is so faint I can barely get it on photo.
I'm bouncing between excited and dissappointed.

And if they are lines, a day barely made a difference. I'm hoping tomorrow I'll have enough doubling HCG to make things clearer.

Definite progression

Possibly later implantation and not enough hold in the afternoon?

 

[sallyhansen76]

@motherofboys Possibly. But the line from yesterday morning and this morning are the same..no change. Not even dark enough for me to say BFP.
They are like little mini teases. LOL

 

[Teafor2]

Yay! @topazicatzbet Those are great lines!

@Tasha36089 Your frer lines look great!

I am having sensitive nipples today, which for me confirms ovulation definitely happened. It’s a relief I can take my progesterone without worrying now!

 

[sallyhansen76]

@Teafor2 Welcome to the TWW

 

[sallyhansen76]

@Tasha36089 Your FRER from two days ago looks like mine yesterday and this morning.
I am curious...did you test inbetween with a FRER?

(My test yesterday and today are the same...and barely visible)

Top two yesterday
Top bottom today

I was going to ask if you had pics. Yes looks very similar to mine. No i had to order more and they only came today. My easy at home’s weren’t any different though I don’t think. It’s horrible being in limbo isn’t it, I feel like I’m obsessing. Good luck x

 

[sallyhansen76]

@Tasha36089 Yes! I can't for the life determine if it is BFP or BFN.
According to definition of evaps if they are within the time frame and on multiple tests...its BFP. but....i dont know if I can TRUST that it is.

 

[motherofboys]

Sally if I had seen that first one by it's self I would have said 100%bfp. I know that they say that even within the same batch the amount of dye can fluctuate, and hcg doubles every 2 days rather than every day, so they could both be reasons not to see progression early on in such a small time frame. They other tests are much harder to see though I think. Fingers crossed for you that they will get noticeably darker in the next couple of days

 

[sallyhansen76]

@motherofboys Thanks

Try not to stress and test again in a few days and hopefully you’ll get your bfp. I should listen to my own advice

 

[sallyhansen76]

@Tasha36089 hahaha we are too much a bunch of POASA to listen to THAT advice hahaha

@AlwaysTheAunt @motherofboys I feel you on that mindset. This is the longest its taken me to conceive a take home baby. With my dd I had a chemical first month, and was pregnant with her the 3rd month. My ds I had a chemical 1st month, pregnant with him 3 weeks later. This time we started mid cycle so not sure if we missed egg or not, but then 2 chemicals in a row. Now on month 4. I know its not long and many are wayyyy longer, but for me its a bit disheartening. Worried that now Im a couple years older (only 33 but still) things arent working as good as they used to. I have all the goodies this month (opk, bbt, conceive plus) so really hoping this is it. I put March as my time limit for trying so I only have 2 tries left.

@topazicatzbet beautiful progression!

@Tasha36089 looks great!

It's only took me 2 months to concieve 3 of my pregnancies with ds2 taking 5. I was also worried as I'm now 39 but it has finally happened for us on cycle 7 so keep the faith.

FMU test was actually a bit lighter today but that’s been normal for 2 of my pregnancies... lighter in the am and darker in the pm... and considering I didn’t have lines before yesterday morning I know I’m not doubling my hcg quite yet! First pic is this mornings and then all of my tests of the same brand lined up with this mornings on the bottom.




I’m definitely bummed I didn’t get a clearer line today but it does make sense timing wise. FF has me 10dpo. I think I’ll pick up a frer tonight after work. I had a panic attack last night, it wasn’t specifically about the pregnancy but I think it contributed. So I didn’t sleep well either. Been having some twinges quite a bit and the front of my thighs is really sore! I also stopped temping, do you guys stop temping?

 

[sallyhansen76]

@Reiko_ctu those are beautiful lines!

Cant wait to see your FRER!

once a blastocyst starts to form, it produces HCG, the amount varies from woman to woman. It won’t start doubling until implanted. So if you happen to have a pregnancy start with a level of say 5-10, it might hover there for a few days before doubling starts. Hope that helps.

 

[Reiko_ctu]

So 7/8dpo is it my eyes or it this darker than yesterday? I know they still look like shadows ( same test fmu) View attachment 1094790 View attachment 1094791

7/8 is so early, i think you’ll see some lines tomorrow more clearly. With these shadows I do think you’re just so early, and it’ll be so dependent on the concentration of your urine right now. A few days makes a huge difference!

Can I get your opinions please ladies? Tested again this morning with smu. I thought it was a little darker at first but when lining the 3 days up for progression I don’t think they are. First pic is two tests from this morning and second is 3 days progression

Cheapies can be tough for progression. Your frers look great!! Also, don’t forget about 48 hrs to double. Sometimes even up to 72, right? So every day you might not get progression but every other-ish you should
