What the hell is this??? Update! 8w scan! Still in shock!

[mindyb85]

You know, every time my hubby finds out bc I either told him or bc he saw a test develop he always says, “you know I didn’t want to say anything but I could tell that you had that glow”

 

[mindyb85]

Fuck
Why didn’t I wait the second day?
Ok so my pee was like water where yesterday’s test it was much darker and it’s only been about 20 hours so I’m hoping it’s just that. I’m glad I didn’t burst and say anything just yet. This may be over already

 

[mindyb85]

Here’s a cheapie from 3 days ago at 20 mins looks the same if not lighter. Ughhh
I knew my pee was water why did I pee on this? I’m all out now and it’s sleeting out so I’ll probably have to wait til Tomorrow

Try not to worry like u said urine was very diluted , also each test has diff amount of dye. Don't panic yet!!

 

[MrsKatie]

Take a deep breath. Look closer at those tests. The control line is also significantly lighter in the one you took today. it's obvious that your test is just reacting to the very very dilute urine. Also it's a random cheapie. those things are not great for progression.

I keep thinking of my first pregnancy when I peed on ONE TEST and that was it. and then like 2 weeks later took the other one in the pack for fun. Those were the days...

Oh god Jess trying not to. This is why I didn’t want to test at all.
But yes my urine was clear and yesterday it was very yellow so maybe I’ll get another tomorrow and wait til the afternoon. I’m supposed to get a second beta on Tuesday which is “supposed” to be going down to zero. I’ll be able to at least calculate the doubling time from last Tuesday and if it’s still in the “healthy” zone I’ll ask for another draw on thurs.

Thank you. Yes you’re right on today’s and the one 3 days ago, the control line is also darker so maybe it also had more dye?

I wish I could just take one test and then go in a month or two later and see a healthy baby but with my history, every time except with my daughter, it’s always ended in tragedy. However I think SHE IS HERE so there has to be hope.

So after barreling down to Walmart I got two cheapies and even a two pack of frer. I waited for three hours and tried to eat and not drink much water. I only squeezed out a little but it was yellow. I’ll never get the cheapies at dollar general again.

The first three are as the urine runs down the test strip. The last two are at 3 and 5 minutes. Good lord that gave me anxiety.

 

[Hoping4numbr3]

yeah dollar general and Walmart tests are the same I believe. They just take like 10-30 mins to get really dark. Annoying.

 

[Momof2onetube]

There’s virtually no control line on that FRER! That has to be a good sign

 

[mindyb85]

Thanks!
Here they are after sitting for a half hour or so
The pic with only frer are actually from 18dpo with my son and my recent mc. Today is 19dpo.

They do look almost identical but I noticed that the lettering is skinnier on the dg tests and so are the lines. I kind of experimented with them earlier in this testing thread too and they were always a little lighter than the Walmart ones but the reason I freaked out was because the test from yesterday and today’s lighter test (with really dilute urine) were BOTH dg tests, apples for apples. But yeah I’m positive now it was from my clear pee

 

[mindyb85]

That’s what I’m thinking. I don’t think ever had one like that this early. With my mc it did that but you could still noticeably see the test line and that was at 5 and a half weeks. Right now I’m estimating that I’m 4+5 about to go on to 4+6.

 

[mindyb85]

Here’s a pic after those beauties have been sitting for a few hours. Ladies we went from possibly going lighter to we have a test line darker than the control on a cheapie and a crazy die stealer frer
To be honest I think they were already this dark after they sat a half an hour lol

 

[Rags]

...and now breath...
You've done all you can now to see what's happening, again, easy for me to say. Tuesday will be here soon, have a check of the betas. I know you are not wanting to get your hope's up so I'm sitting here excited for you until you can be for yourself.

Thank you Rags! That really helps

 

[Classic Girl]

I get you. And your tests! Never got my dye stealer so I think this is a keeper!

 

[Bevziibubble]

Wow that's a great dye stealer!

 

[mindyb85]

I told you guys I bought two cheapies at Walmart right? Lol

 

[Bevziibubble]

Lovely dark lines!
