For the last couple days I've been getting mild stab like pains very low in my abdomen, slightly to my right.
Well after all that talk I went bonkers. I grabbed my purse , threw on some shoes and told oh I was going to target - no reason given...
I'm sure you all know why
Anyhow I bought the digital kind and couldn't resist lol.
"not pregnant"
Idk how to explain it, but despite the reading, I was suddenly convinced I AM pregnant.
(hey my hormones are crazy this month - doc verified!)
This only gets worse :/
In some sort of frenzy, I tore the blasted thing apart, chipped a nail in tge process and had to use tweezers. Those suckers are DURABLE! I think if my house was bombed these tests would remain intact!
Anyhow...
I finally get the strip out and there is in fact a 2nd blue line, faint as hell, NOT an evap, and every bit as thick as the control.
Yes, I read "secret of the digital" on poas.com
HOWEVER...
It was written 7 yrs ago, and these digi's are different than the old ones. I checked.
The confusion is this: to save money on patents, clearblue is "theoretically" using the same strips for their opk as their pg test. How so I wondered? That would mean I could use the pg test.to confirm pending o?? Doesn't sound right at all.
Lucky for me, I have both digi's on hand!
I compared (same pee) my o strip to my hcg strip, and my second line on o strip is much darker than my second line on hcg strip...
Upon deeper reading, I have found stories, as usual, that go both ways. One reason could be just that some women were.actually pg but too early, like coincidence...
I think, that the "reader" is what is patented, called a chromameter, specifically used.to "read" the presence of the amount of dye that reacts to the antibody strip.
Now I'm not saying I AM pregnant,(although my brain is screaming just that), just saying it's interesting. Now this was also late afternoon pee, and not fmu. I got 4 tests left...
I did take a pic, but you can only see the second line as a thin blue line, when it's actually a thin darker line,with lighter blue making up the rest of the width of the strip.
So, I'll wait and see. One thing for SURE is that it is not an evap, it was there in a couple minutes (maybe sooner, it took a couple minutes to open
) and wasn't gray or dented, it was blue.
So.... Do I test with fmu tomorrow, or wait til tuesday?
Also, found a woman who got a "pregnant" result with a level of 8, and another who had a faint pos with frer, and "not pregnant" with these - blood same day confirmed hcg at 34!
So, these digitals are not consistent it seems...
