HELP! I know we're not supposed to look at tests PG 6 UPDATE 9/26/11~CB DIGI

*stalking* Last month I had tests like that and I had a chemical so just wait a few days for your lines to get darker babe! best of luck!!

 

[gabbyskyy]

There's a line! I see it!

 

[babers]

There is a line. Hopefully it will get darker for you. There has to be some sort of hcg in your system I would think. I had this same thing last month. My lines got a little darker everyday for 3 days, but not anything to impressive, and then they started getting lighter and then negative. It was a chemical, but hopefully you will have a darker line tomorrow or even tonight.

 

[babynewbie]

i can see a line on your newest one!!

I wasn't ready to be pregnant, but the more I think about it, the more excited I get! I'll test again tomorrow, unless I can force myself to wait until Sunday. (probably tomorrow though I have to say that with my son, I never got a very dark line on FR. I mean, it was an obvious line, but not dark. I had positives on ic at 8 dpo that got a little darker. FR at 11 dpo wasn't dark, but I did get a "pregnant" on CB digi that day. I'll just wait it out the best I can.....like I told my hubby....I won't count it out until next week, just considering how I'm feeling.
In case I hadn't mentioned that before~~All week I've been more "aroused" than normal (happened in my first pregnancy too), I'm very tired all day even with more sleep at night, I have "twinges" in my lower abdomen that feel like little waves rolling around....weird, I know but that's the best I can describe it. Things have just been feeling "off" this week is all I can say. So I'll wait and see and keep you guys posted! Thanks for all the help!!

I've actually NEVER seen this happen before and I've let some sit for over a week before tossing them.

 

[3kiddosmaybe4]

So I'm beginning to think there's a line on every FR no matter if a woman's pregnant or not! I should have hubby pee on one to test that theory....Anyway! Here's todays test, no different than yesterday, in my opinion. Yes there's a line, but again....not sure of color, so I'm thinking it's the indent line.

But...I've been so tired all week. I got out of bed this morning after about 7.5 hrs of sleep just EXHAUSTED. My older kiddos watched their brother so I could nap and now I feel a little better...I have cramps (all week) and now today my fingers are puffy! I'm also running warmer than usual lately too.

Thoughts? Opinions? Please share!

 

[gabbyskyy]

Urgh... I know what you mean! They have shadows on like every single test. The antibody strip is super noticeable. I don't think I'll ever get Frers again as I see this is happening to a ton of gals.

You should have hubby take a test! Then if you see a line you should call the hotline and get your money back. It's so mean of them to get our hopes up!...Well, I hope you truly have a BFP hun, but I understand your frustration.

 

[Babee_Bugs]

awwww hunnie, i cant see anything on this test... Sorry x

 

[3kiddosmaybe4]

That's fine Babee_Bugs. I haven't been actively trying so I can't get too upset! I took that last test apart earlier and nothing. But just due to the off way I feel, I think I'll try in a week too. If I'm still showing a negative, then I'll for sure go on bc.

 

[babyhopes2010]

ill try find all my evap pics hun,good luck x

Alright. Well after many First Response tests showing some sort of second line (some with color, some without), I gave up and went digital. I took one FR this morning and wasn't sure what I saw, so I took a CB digital and it took it forever but finally came up with a BFN. So that's my story ladies! Thanks to all who have offered advice and opinions over the past few days~I appreciate it!!

I still haven't counted myself out for the month BECAUSE...I've been so busy thinking there's a chance of being pregnant that I never bothered watching the dates. I should have ovulated this week-end.....and since we aren't using protection yet...there's still a chance this month! I guess I'll find out in 2 weeks!

And for me, missing my period doesn't tell me much. My last period was July 2009~I fell pregnant right away and I'm still nursing my 17th month old, so no period yet....and my ob and nurse practitioner are not concerned by that. Apparently as soon as I'm done nursing, they expect my cycles to return to normal! I am still ovulating though, because I do track that...I just forgot to this month! Whatever happens, happens!!

 

[babers]

So I am a little confused. You have never had your period since you had your baby? Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't that mean you are not ovulating yet. If you ovulate, you will have your period about 11-17 days after, depending on your lpm to shed the unfertilised egg. Just curious how you track your ovulation. I know you would ovulate before you have your period, but if you are ovulating, you would have to be menustrating too, right?

 

[amommy]

That is a good question, since most people who are breastfeeding are not having menstruation, but do they still ovulate? something to look up I guess LOL!

 

[3kiddosmaybe4]

Confusing, I know. It's suppressing my periods, but according to opk's and cm changes, etc, I for sure started ovulating again!

Here is some info about ovulating without a period, and vise versa! Especially women who breastfeed may find this happening!

 

[3kiddosmaybe4]

Thanks amommy! I wasn't sure how to describe it, but I knew I wasn't mental! Thanks for posting that link so it can explain better than I can! Bfing moms get pregnant all the time before their periods return....and they most likely don't realize they're pregnant because there's no period to skip. So yes, I know I'm ovulating and have always had 28 day cycles right on.

OOPS! I should have clarified! I posted one today...I think the title is "can you see anything". These were all evap tests~can you believe it! So I took one this after-noon for giggles since it was my last one and I *think* I see something there too.
