Morgan if I had gotten mine sooner I'd have used it. Just go in to it knowing you may not find it. I didn't find it the first time then later in the evening I did it with an empty bladder and put my earphones in. Found it after about 5 min. Right above my pubic bone. Make sure you feel your pulse if you hear a slow swishing to see if it matches. Where my bean is, if I move the probe even a little bit I will pick up mine too. Try it with ear buds so you can really concentrate. Try with a full bladder then empty. Yay! So excited for you to try! It's totally like POAS lol

They don't come with earbuds right? I just lost my iphone ones, might have to stop & get some on the way home so I can dedicate my evening listening to my bowels... LOL.

Also Mommy those I.C.s are SO freakin UNRELIABLE. I swear I have seen SO MANY evaps or faint lines (Cassidy's, BB's, etc..) and they look PREGNANT! Ugh hate those things lol.

And just to point something out I promise promise PROMISE a FRER will be positive before ANYTHING else! Ik they are expensive, but just sayin I had BLARING lines and not ANY on test strips for days.

Yep I've had it 2 months running

i know most are. These are from earlypregnancytests.com and the SAME lot i've been using for 3 years. i just used one last month. got my pos for dd on them, used them on and off all this time. NEVER ever had an evap. the sensitivity is 20 miu and for frers- they are 25 miu. So, probably still wayyyyyy too early. I know what you mean, But actually no, when i got my dd, my frer also wasn't positive until after my ic. they're just more sensitive. but all these years i've not had any issues with this lot. so, hoping they didn't just randomly start now!

 

[morganwhite7]

Well good luck with em! I can't wait to see tomorrow's.. I swear I saw something faint on today's!

I've seen lots of people have positive IC's/wondfos before FRER. Different tests look for certain types of hCG (yes there are different variants of hCG) so some may show positive before others depending on your body.

I posted a link in the other thread a while back about a woman who got positives on IC's, digis, and other types of tests before finally getting her BFP on a FRER at 12dpo. So it IS possible

And with saying THAT... I literally get shitty lines on EVERY brand test. I think I am one of the women who have a constant low measurement of hCG in their system. So I will never trust a test until it's BLARING.

 

[mommyxofxone]

that's yesterdays hun i didn't post today's. it was the same as yesterdays, and my frer was white as snow. so didn't take any photos. not testing again til 13-14dpo. today i'm 11.

 

[mommyxofxone]

thanks cassidy. not much hope, but have to hang on to the little i have right?

 

[morganwhite7]

Yeah she's right it really does depend on your body..

I just freakin hate them bc I swear there were PINK LINES on Cassidy's and they were just crappy. I was so mad lol, I can't imagine that happening to me!

Mommy do you see anything IRL? Or am I imagining a faint something? Lol

 

[jury3]

The day I got my bfp the darkest line was on the 98cent walmart test. The FRER was second darkest and the wondfo was the one you could see the least. So, I'm assuming it can be different for everyone.

 

[asmcsm]

What Cassidy said! Different tests use different binders, that's why a lot of women will get positives on ICs before FRERs even though some people swear by FRERs and hate ICs. I mean look at how dark that 88cent test that Julie took was compared to the FRER and IC she took at the same time at 12dpo. Differs for everyone

 

[clynn11]

Hahaha thanks Morgan I hate it too!!!! My first ever evap literally 30 people were telling me 'congratulations' and it ended up being a faulty test!! I was so broken hearted by it

Morgan, Cassidy is like the evap queen though. We always think we see something on hers and it ends up not being a bfp I think Cassidy is probably one of those ladies that has low amounts of HCG in her system at all times. Hoping to see a BLARING BFP for her soon though!

 

[clynn11]

Yupp. Here's some of my lovely evaps!

Osom, FRER, Walmart 88c test, Equate, and dollar store tests.

 

[morganwhite7]

SO. NOT. OKAY. Lol if that happened to me I'd be so pissed. I guess you do have a low amount always, crazy! I would uppp the mIU if I were you, no more falsies. Lol stick to dollar store ones or something haha prob like 50 mIU!

 

[mommyxofxone]

morgan yes def. on my ic i can see a VERY VERY VERY faint pink line. but, who the hell knows. maybe it is an evap. first time for eveyrthing right? although with dd, i got a neg at 10dpo, and a pos at 12dpo (day before af was due) so still SUPER early, holding on tot hat with all that i have.

 

[morganwhite7]

Wow yeah, that would mean tomorrow is your day!!! How exciting

 

[mommyxofxone]

well no this time my lp tends to be 14 days so i'm not testing til then i don't think at the eariliest at 13 dpo. but probably holding out. just don't want to see anymore bfns, and only have a few tests left.
