Test Pictures - update in #48 preg and loss mentioned.

MountainMomma · #1 July 8th, 2010, 01:08 PM

These are some IC's that I bought online a while back. I almost think they didn't have the right amount of dye in them because even the control line takes 3-4 minutes to show up. The control line is faint and hard to capture. If you tilt your screen way back (if you are on a laptop) you *might* be able to see what I am seeing. I'm pretty sure they are just evaps, but dang.... they look pink and there have been so many of them. I'm almost ashamed to admit how many tests I have taken at this point! lol There have been lines on most of them. I am approx. 11dpo.

And don't feel bad if you don't see it or if you think it's an evap. I am pretty sure they are and while I can see them plain as day in real life.... even I have a hard time seeing them on the pictures.

Celena, that's too funny!

I see them too! I hope they're BFPs!!!

I just wish I knew if they were faint BFP's or just evaps!

Most of the time I feel fairly certain that they are just evaps. I mean... after 4 years and 7 chemicals, I just feel like.....

. On the other hand... I've taken so many tests now this cycle (seriously....it's a sick obsession and I need a 12 step program I think) I just don't know.... it doesn't seem like one person should be able to get so many evaps in one cycle! lol

I'm on CD 29 (11dpo) of a normal 30 day cycle. Any other time I normally only have a 10 day or so LP, so I'm already ahead. I normally have a few days of spotting before AF shows up too, and so far nothing.

I even checked my cervix earlier expecting to find it lower, soft, and probably blood tinged CM. (It's usually like that for 2-3 days before AF shows) Today it's higher and firm. No streaking or blood tinge either.

I do keep feeling like AF is here but when I wipe....nothing.

I'm off to work for now. You guys have fun obssessing over my pics. Feel free to play with them and adjust the contrast an all that fun stuff if you want. I'll be back in 6 1/2 or 7 hours to see what everyone thinks. lol

I see them in the invert, but not the normal. It's sooooo faint. I totally do that too, though, lol

I see them. I think it may be time to break out the big guns

Wow the control line is so faint.. I can't really see the lines on the test, but if you can see a piink line I say it is time to back it up with a name brand or a digi.. Good luck hun.. I wish you luck and hope it is the real thing.

I see them too!

But that control line is really light. Never had a control line that light. Maybe the girl on AIP could help! KUP and I'm praying its your BFP!

mary30 · #10 July 8th, 2010, 03:12 PM

OMG I see lines !!!! But I agree the control line is really light ... I really hope this is it for you

missy123 · #11 July 8th, 2010, 03:17 PM

Stephanie,

I see the lines too... I would go get a FRER at this point just to confirm.

Celena, girl you are so funny!

tobi4 · #12 July 8th, 2010, 03:35 PM

I see them too! And I couldn't agree more, bring on the frer!!

brandimomof2 · #13 July 8th, 2010, 03:57 PM

I would go out and get a FRER test to see what happens. Hoping its a BFP.

Kary♥RN · #14 July 8th, 2010, 07:20 PM

Stephanie.. I can NOT believe that they would be evaps... ON EVERY ONE OF THOSE!!!!! I see lines on every test~!~!!!~~~~!!!~~~!!! I would say BFP!~!~!~!~!~!~!

BFP!!

SkyBaby · #15 July 8th, 2010, 07:38 PM

What Kary said!! i see them all too!! I can easily see even the faintest control line, but I can also see the test lines on both the invert and the original.

missy123 · #16 July 8th, 2010, 07:41 PM

I am in such suspense! Stephanie - leave work early and get a FRER!!!

MountainMomma · #17 July 8th, 2010, 09:06 PM

Ok..... well, sorry to disappoint, but I can't get a FRER until.... probably Monday. I am going to *try* to convince DH to get me either a FRER or an Answer tomorrow, but I doubt that will happen (he thinks I should wait to test until after AF is due and that one test will tell the story... no need for any more! lol) I might be able to convince him though since AF is due tomorrow and I am still not even spotting. I'll see what I can do. The town I live and work in is so small that I can't even get a decent test here though.

The only other option is that I could run out tomorrow morning and get a $1 test from Dollar General. They are known for evaps too though so I don't know if I would trust that any more than the IC's.

I did tell DH that there was a possibility that I might be and he is pretty hopeful. He said he'd start praying right away and that he believes that if we are pregnant again that this one will be our sticky bean. Man I hope I am and that he is right!
