Okay so I thought I was out for this month because DH and I didnt BD as much as we should have because of the recent death in our family. I Got a positive OPK on the 8th and 9th and I am sure I would have gotten one on the 10th but I didnt take one because that was the day my Niece passed away. Well DH and I BD'd on the 8th and 9th and If I am not mistaken we also BD'd on the 6th. Today I started feeling sick to my stomach and I have had sore boobs that keep getting more sore each day so I decided to test. I know it is early, I am only 7 or 8 DPO today but I tested anyway. I used a FRER and almost as soon as the pee went across the test both lines showed up. The test line was very faint but it was pink in color and My husband saw it also. I also showed it to my best friend and she said she saw the line to but I dont want to get my hopes up because I am afraid that maybe we are only seeing the line because we want this so bad. I have tried taking a picture of the test to post on here but the line is so faint that the camera will not pick it up. My Question is, HOw long should I wait to take another test? I bought a 3 pack of FRER's today at walmart so I have 2 more tests left. Should I try taking one with FMU in the morning or should I give it a couple of days and then test? I am trying so hard not to get my hopes up but it is so hard not to.

I'll tell you right now that I ALWAYS say test  I am a complete and total POAS addict. So, I'm not the one who should be giving you advice. But, I just want you to know that I'm reallllly excited for you. I hope your symptoms and the lines that you saw are all confirmed with another BFP! I wish you could post the picture so I could obsess with you. Let me know when you decide to test. I can't wait! Ahhhh! Good luck! BFP wishes heading your way!!!!

Well, I'll tell you I was certain we were out the cycle I got my bfp because we last BDed 3 days before I Oed. It is totally possible! If you can, hold out 2 more days, but hey, you got a 3-pk, right?

It is driving me crazy that I can see this line but I cant get a good enough picture of it to post it on here so you ladies can see it. I do need someone to obsess with me. I am probably going to test in the morning with FMU and I will let you ladies know how it turns out. Wish me luck.
If I comes out positive I am going to go see my DR tomorrow and get him to check my Beta HCG levels and my Progesterone levels just to make sure they are okay.

Good morning ladies. Well about 30 minutes ago I retested. I couldnt sleep at all last night I kept waking up on and off and this last time I woke up I had to pee real bad so I went ahead and peed in a cup and tested. There are 2 lines in this test to. It is a little darker then the one I took yesturday but not much. I still cant get a good pic of it. I still havent been able to figure out how to take good close up pics on my camera. Maybe my best friend will let me borrow her camera this evening and take a good pic. I wish I could show you guys this test because I need you all to obsess with me and tell me that I am not seeing things. Do you think a Digi would come up BFP if this test is a BFP? I dont know what to do. Should I wait and test again in the morning or go buy a digi or go to the DR.... My Dr will Probably think I am crazy because I am not due for AF for another 4 or 5 days. OMG I cant believe this What do I do. I am going to get a DIGI and if is says preg then I am going to the DR to get my HCG and progesterone levels checked for my own peace of mind.

This is the best pic I could get for now but you still cant see the line in the pic. Maybe a Digi will show.
I wish I could take a clearer picture. There is another line there I promise there is lol.
UGH no matter how hard I try I cannot get a good pic. I am getting so frustrated. I think I will go back to bed since it is just 5:33 and when I get up I will go straight to walmart and get a digi and if I dont change my mind I will take the test in the bathroom at walmart lol. I have a friend who works there that wants to see my test anyway.

Don't be frustrated - if you can see the line IRL, then IT'S THERE!!!! Keep testing and you'll be able to take another pic when it gets even darker. Congrats!

Well I couldnt wait to get a digi so I took the last regular FRER that I had with SMU and it was darker then the one I took with FMU. I took a pic of it at my bathroom window with some natural lighting going on in the background and I think you ladies might actually be able to see it. Here it is, I tried inverting it but I cant get the edit feature to work on photobucket this morning. If anyone else can invert it please feel free to do so.

This might be a better pic. Just look over the mess in the background that is my back yard.
I dont know why I cannot get photobucket to invert these pictures. It will let me invert them but it wont give me an option to save them. UGH. Help please lol
