So I tested... (pics) updated

#1 June 19th, 2009, 04:46 PM

Update: I took a FRER and it was a BFN. BOO! Anyways, I still have one more test so I'll use it tomorrow morning. I usually start spotting for AF around 10DPO, so I guess we'll just wait and see. Thanks for all your help!

Mind you, I'm only 8DPO and I got the cheapest grocery-store brand because I was there and I bought them on a whim. Regardless of the results below, I will get a FRER tomorrow and wait 'til 10DPO Sunday morning FMU to test. I need some professional opinions from y'all.

This was the first test, results came up after the 3-minute mark and before the 10-min mark (around 7 minutes), with lunchtime urine after holding for about 2 hours. Evap or positive?

Then I took the other test in the pack around 6 pm and I'd bet money that it was a dud - see how the test line is yellow and not pink? (Pic taken less than 6 minutes after POAS)

I defiantly think the first one is a positive. I would test again tomorrow with FMU! G/L and congrats!

I've never seen a test like that before...is it supposed to be a control line and a diagonal line? Or a plus?

No, it's supposed to be a control line and a plus. I just cropped it really tight - top test has control line on left and bottom test has control on right.

Oh well in that case, I see the plus!!!

I got a lot of evaps with that style test

I see a line, but wouldn't be too hopeful yet. I would definitely get a FRER. If you got a BFP on that test at 8dpo you should be able to get a BFP on a FRER and have it be more clear.

I do see the second line in the first pic and in the invert... I hope this is it for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I was also going to wait until Sunday to test but after reading your post I went and POAS!

A BFN.

I too am 8 DPO so it is still very early for us. I hope we are moving into a DDC together soon!!

gosh, me too! I told my MIL about the wierd tests and she already wants to start buying maternity clothes.

Especially since that 2nd one is a dud, I would follow it up with a FRER! Those are the most trusted. Or even better - one of those GREAT digi's that will say "PREGNANT!!!".

Digi's and FRER are expensive but well worth it. Go for it.....and keep us posted.

Good luck!

I would get a FRER and re-test. Let me tell you that when I got my BFP with the FRER and the Clearblue Digi, my beta was only at 16 and it showed up on the test. So they are well worth the money. I don't trust any other tests anymore. Even the $store test showed a faint line and the IC showed NOTHING!! So I swear by the FRER. If you are preggers, it's gonna show.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get that BFP in the morning!!!!

AliciaF · #14 June 20th, 2009, 08:45 AM

I'm sorry it was a BFN

I trust the FRER and Answer as well. With one of my losses I had a BFP on a FRER with a HCG of 5! And a friend of mine had a BFP at 10dpo (and is still pregnant today, like 30 weeks!) and at 10dpo her hcg was only 4 and it showed on the FRER.

I got a positive with a Clear Blue ER at 10dpo/ FRER at 11dpo and my betas at 14dpo were 66! Soo that would be like 8 at 10dpo and 16 at 11dpo! I see a line in the first test!
