BFP question

~Laurie~ · #1 March 1st, 2009, 12:19 PM

Yesterday I POAS, even though I would only have been approximately 9 DPO. I examined the test in many different lights, and I thought I saw a line at the very top and bottom of the test, but nothing in the middle. I decided to take the test apart to examine it better (I use midstreams), and there is a faint pink line, but only at the very top and bottom of the test. It even goes down the side of the strip. I ripped apart an old negative test to compare, and there is nothing on that test. I only have one test left, so I am wondering if it is possibly a BFP. What's your opinion?

was it in the 10 min time frame? maybe you shoud try a dif test or take another in the am to be sure..could be..good luck!!

I initially saw the 'line' within the 10 minute time frame but it didn't occur to me to take the test apart until the next day, so I know it may not mean anything. I will try to hold out until Wednesday before I test again.

What brand was the test? I have had some strange looking lines on the internet cheapie midstreams that early, and sometimes I was pregnant and sometimes I was not. So now all I use is the
FRER. They have never lied to me, and I have always gotten accurate results. Good Luck. (I am glad I am not the only one taking apart HPT!)

They are just cheap midstreams from saveontests.com. I don't know what to think because I've had sore bb's for the last couple of days. I get that sometimes when I have AF, but never before. AF isn't due until Friday, so I think I will retest with my last cheapie on Wednesday, and if it is still inconclusive, then I will buy a FRER. Thanks for your responses, ladies! Keep your fingers crossed, please.

Sounds promising, but I wouldn't get my hopes up until I got a BFP for sure!!! Good Luck- I hope this is it for you!!!

Laurie...this is pretty exciting! Well, I personally like to start at pictures of people's hpts. That way I can look at the picture, squint at the picture, hold the screen at different angles, etc... Do you have pictures?

Anyway, I hope this is it for you! I've never used the internet tests. But, it sounds pretty promising! Are you really going to make us wait until Wednesay??? Did I read that correctly??? Geesh. You have unbelievable will power! I would have already been to the store to buy a party pack of dollar store cheapies! KUP...I'm saying alittle prayer for you!

Sorry I didn't post sooner, but JM was down for maintenance when I tried to log on yesterday. I tested again yesterday and it was a BFN. AF is due Friday, so I will test Saturday if she's a no-show. I am so confused because I am having pms like symptoms, but I don't usually get PMS. I will be crampy and yucky feeling when I have AF, but not before. I am having wicked backaches and I felt crampy all day. I've also been getting a lot of headaches. I just don't know what to make of it. I hope that I won't have pms like this every month, because it really sucks.
