DOLLAR TREE TEST..ARE THEY AS SENSITIVE

Charizomai · #1 February 9th, 2009, 01:57 PM

I was trying to not let all this get to me, so today I woke up and realized that today is 14 DPO.. my LP is only 13 days. Even when my cycles are much longer, my LP stays the same. Today is day 14... So.. I've been spotting for about 5 days now, it started as very light brownish colored spotting (I dont even need any protection as it is only when I wipe) then last night, I was cramping on and off for a bit and when to the bathroom and when I wiped it was a pinkish reddish color, I just figured AF would be here in the morning..but it never happened after that, it went back to the brownish spotting, today I've barely had any spotting at all. (only spotting when I wipe, no other time) I had a few painful cramps earlier but no AF. so I bought a dollar tree test, the kind that you have to pee in a cup, use the dropper etc. I waited, and its negative..
I was suppose to start my period today, so did I take the test to early. It didnt say Early test on it or anything. and i could not find anywhere on the box that said how many mIU it was sensitive too... So, are they as sensitive? would it have been able to pick up any hCG if I were suppose to start today????

I am so confused, my temps are still way above the coverline and I can not, for the life of me figure out what is going on..

the $! tests detect 25 mIU. Maybe you just tested too early and your HCG levels are not high enough. 3 of my sister in laws used these tests ang got postives at 4 weeks! But for me they just dont work. I would say get a FRER and test again! gl to you!! keep us posted!!

FRER works best or Answers.

Did you use FMU? It might not have been concentrated enough.

Try FMU and if you have a FRER use it. Your temps are promising!! I just had my baby 6 days ago and my cycle i conceived I spotted like you say, but don't let that get your hopes up

GL, KUP & have some BFP
