helllllppppp!!!!! good morning luvs i'll go back and read thru everything in a mo, but i'm having a mini freak-out here.... i did an hpt this morning, and i was having a nice bawl b/c i thought for sure bfn. but when i held it up to the light (i know i know...i'm so desperate, it's pathetic...) it looked like there's a line where it's not supposed to be. ???? it looks way over to the left, much farther over at the end of the reaction strip instead of centered. i peeled off the top layer to get a better look and there's deffo a line there, but my problem now is that i don't know if it's a "real" line and the hpt was made defectively or if there's always been color in that spot on the other ones i've taken in the past and i just never noticed it before posting piccies in a mo....

STUPID WEBSITE JUST LOST MY WHOLE POST RIGHT AS I WAS ADDING THE PICTURES!!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH...... *deep breath* ok...i will repost in a mo after i try to explain it all again....

 

[mothercabbage]

its ok..i have all day pk....just post pics first, then while we check them out, you write out your message xx

 

[mothercabbage]

lovely caz! see you in 10 xxxx

 

[pk2of8]

yay! so glad you girls are still on!! ok.......

this was with a 10miu ic...

the first piccy is with the hpt all together as you would normally see it and you can just barely see the color to the far left of the reaction strip...

the second piccy is with the top layer lifted. the color is at the very end on the left of the reaction strip, and it's very obvious in person. there's a very very thin strip of linen (i think that's what it is) that is over the top of the color that makes it harder to see...it just covers over the end of the reaction strip by a mm or so. i picked at it to see if the color was actually on the linen and it's not. it's defo on the reaction strip.

the third piccy is the same as the 2nd one but tweaked to make the color a little more obvious.

my problem is that i don't know if the strip was made defectively, so the color has just shown up in the wrong place or if there has always been color in that place on the other hpt's i used in the past and maybe i just never noticed it before. and i already threw out my fmu before i held it up to the light b/c i thought there was no point help!

 

[Hopes314]

pk i think you should squeeze out a few more drops of pee and go for another test! sometimes its even stronger than fmu. sorry im just impatient lol.

 

[Hopes314]

well im off to nap lol and force husband to nap on his only day offf. will check back later to see how things are! thanks for all the help/opinions on the SIL wedding situation. You guys helped me make the decision that I do feel is best! xxxx

 

[pk2of8]

i was thinking about trying that hopes...don't know if i can

 

[pk2of8]

oh, hopes, yes i agree with the girls too. you should probably gently decline, and the earlier the better. i'm sure you could pull it off if you chose to sweetie, but bottom line is you don't know how long your pg will go or how old the baby will be. and in any case, you will still be v v v tired at that point. you'll probably look like you're still about 3-4 months pg (at a minimum...just from what i remember about myself from first pg), but it will be very hard to get the dress size right. of course you can always have it adjusted, but it's such a pain. then there's the breastfeeding issue. tink's right, you'd need something "accessible" whether or not you're in the wedding party. it's just a lot of logistics to figure out. some of my sisters have done it altho not when the baby was quite that little. i did it once while about 6 or 7 months pg for one of my sisters. different situation. i'm sure you'll figure out what's best for you sweetie. sil might be offended, but then like the others said, she probably was just trying to upstage you anyway.

 

[mothercabbage]

ok pk ive squinted, i think i can see where the 2nd line should be,im not sure where you think you see colour...close to the white tape?i think some dye may have gathered there,not even sure thats where you think you see it....

 

[pk2of8]

i know really all any of you can say is "retest"... i'm just so afraid i'm getting myself all worked up over nothing here. it's so much better to have a glimmer of hope than to stare at another glaring (i have not tested again yet)

 

[mothercabbage]

i say get a better test too...maybe a frer..are they 12.5miu like they are here? and good luck pk..xx

 

[mothercabbage]

:wave: hopes, ill be joining you in the land of nod soon

 

[Damita]

pk, I think I can see something on the first picture but I am unsure sorry

 

[mothercabbage]

pk i tweeked a bit, i can see where the 2nd line should be.....maybe the anti strip or maybe an early bfp......tweeking not too good but i can deffo see "something" i have a poorly,and hungry DS so i have to nip off for a bit but hope i made what i see a little more obvious..xx

 

[pk2of8]

yes mc i agree...that's my problem is i don't know if that's just where the dye has pooled or if it's defective. i do have an frer but i'm stingy with those and don't like to "waste" them. maybe i'll use it. ugh. i hate this.

thank you damita

here's another pic to show where i see the color.
