Start this thread for progression of my test.

A little back ground first.I unfortunately have not been very lucky with my last 2 pregnancies with both ending in CP. After the first loss the doctor I had seen (not my primary) made the comment "At least we know you can get pregnant." I didn't know how to take her comment, it was like a stab in the heart. Not only was I wanting to walk out in tears because I was told I wasn't pregnant but I was fighting tears from this comment. This was my pregnancy in May, then come June I was so surprised and happy to see not only the double lines but the big ole "yes" on not 1 but 2 digital tests. That lasted 4 days, day 5 I got a "not pregnant" and then 2 days later AF showed her ugly face.

So here we are in my July cycle (round 6 for me). Today is 8 dpo and I took both an Iproven and a FRER this morning. The Iproven came back negative (wasn't surprised as it states 4 days before AF is only 55%.) The FRER was a very light positive, actually compared it to last cycle and it almost looks like the same test. I just hope if these tests are correct that this little beans decides to stay put.

Even though I will be 5 days out from AF I will take an Iproven tomorrow and then another FRER Thursday (if I can wait that long)

Sorry for your losses congratulations and Fx it continues to get darker and you have a very happy and healthy pregnancy ahead!!!!

 

[Flueky88]

Jlm I really hope it darkens. That's a great line at 8dpo. Lots of babydust!!

 

[jlmeans0422]

Thanks im hopeful to just trying to not get to hopeful. My test seem to get darker for a day or 2 and them bam AF arrives

 

[corgankidd]

That's a great line for 8dpo! Sticky baby dust to you!!

 

[LoraLoo]

Looks good fingers xd for progression congratulations

 

[Mummafrog]

I really want to be supportive but honest too. I get very convincing lines on frers near my AF.. I do wonder if some of us just have higher natural hcg and frers are so sensitive they pick it up??
I don't know love but if it's the third cycle with the lines looking the same I'd be careful believing it's always a bean because you'll crush yourself every time.
Of course the positive digi and delayed af was a chemical, I'm so sorry for your losses.
We just need to be wary of these frers I think

I'm praying this is the cycle and you get a nice pink line that keeps getting darker xx

 

[tdog]

That's a fab line hoping for a sticky bean for you xx

 

[happycupcake]

Your test looks rather similar to my first positive FRER this pregnancy. It was faint but 100% there. Good luck

Just thought I would add, we have had many early losses too and frustrating remarks from doctors. It took us a year and a half to get this sticky baby, I don’t know if it was simply luck, or if it was one of the many things I was doing. I hope this is it for you

 

[doggylover]

I was told after my mc "at least you know you can get pregnant" as well. People think these comments are helpful, or some sort of comfort. But I think that in general people who say things like that haven't experienced a loss and therefore don't realise how unhelpful, and how hurtful, those comments are.

That line is super, fingers crossed this is your sticky bean

 

[Bevziibubble]

That's a great line. Good luck

 

[jlmeans0422]

thank you all for your kind words and baby dust! I really want to be excited and over the moon that I maybe pregnant but its so hard at this time. I think if AF doesn't show her face this month thats when the excitement will start.

Mummafrog- thank you for the honesty. I know a lot of people dont like to read that stuff but its all true. I actually started a thread last month asking if people thought it was possible to just have higher HCG in their system and FRER would pick it up. At 8 dpo last cycle my test looked like this and I got a yes on the frer digital (I dont have any this round) by 10 dpo I had a nice dark line and another yes on the digi. At 12 dpo my line was almost the same as the 10 dpo if not a smidge lighter and thats when I knew things were going downhill. I got AF 1-2 days later and then I tested again after AF, which only lasted like 3 days and the line was still there but back to the lightness I had on the test I took at 7 dpo (which was lighter then the line above)

 

[Mummafrog]

Yeah.. it happened to me too and all my friends were saying bfp, it was pink and clear but wasn't the real thing. Making an embryo happens a lot more than them implanting though so it's possible they are all chemicals rather than natural hcg.

Anyway! Have you done another test?? It does look very exciting 👏 when is af due? X

 

[jlmeans0422]

I did an iproven this morning which was still a BFN, which I expected based off what I read in the information. AF is 5 days away and hoping she stays away. I will be testing again tomorrow with a frer (10 dpo) to see if my line progressed any.

 

[Classic Girl]

Your story sounds so much like mine. 2 early losses and 4 chemicals with lines for a couple days then faded to nothing and a no on the digi. It’s heartbreaking. I got a faint line on FRER this morning 2 so let’s go through this together!

 

[jlmeans0422]

Classic- i just read your thread we are exactly in sync. Im CD24 today as well! Lets hope this is real for both of us!!!

 

[jlmeans0422]

I think at this point I am going to give up on using FRER. I am beginning to feel like my body just make those tests positive. This morning at 10 DPO, I took a FRER, Iproven and an equate digital. The only positive was FRER. So then with 2ndMU I took a first signal (walmart cheapie) and a blue dye clear blue test. I feel like I maybe seen something faint in both of those tests but nothing that has me jumping for joy and ready to tell everyone. I may just hold off at this point with testing anymore (who am I kidding I will be jumping to test first thing tomorrow morning.)

* I should note all pictures were taken in the 3-4 minute window. I looked at the first signal test again (like 15 mins after the first time) there is a darker line than what was in the 1st picture I took (1st pic is what I uploaded) but since its out of limit I know not to trust it.

 

[tdog]

Oh I see lines on all them tests fingers crossed xx

 

[Snip]

I see a line on all 3. the other 2 just not as sensitive as the Frer.
Fx for a sticky bean!

 

[Classic Girl]

All of those are positive, girl! That last FRER CAN’T be an evap!
