I'm on my first full cycle of IUI. After my hcg trigger in the morning (10,000 iu Pregnyl), I took a hpt that evening just for fun to see what a BFP looks like! It was an IC and the line came up after a couple of minutes but it was really faint, not so much that I had to squint in the light or anything but it was really really pale compared to the control.
I am just wondering if I should have seen a blazing positive result that day or if the faint line is normal?
I am testing for real now and getting BFNs so far (13dpiui today) but it occurred to me that maybe that faint line that day meant that the test just isn't as sensitive as it claims or maybe I'm one of those that doesn't put out a lot of hcg in my urine?? Of course I could just not be pregnant again but holding out hope and all that, yanno?!
