I couldn't help it. I used a digi this morning and my possible BFP became an undeniable BFN. No lines to squint at. No over analyzing to be done. Just straight up: Not Pregnant.



I also took two Wondfo tests and I think I see another faint line on one of them, but if I were pregnant, wouldn't it be getting darker?! I'm 14 DPO, for cryin' out loud!

Are Wondfos known for false positives? I've never used them before this cycle. I'm feeling so heartbroken.

I've never gotten a false positive with the wondfos. Plus HCG takes about 2 days to double and if you implanted late your levels are still a little too low for a digi.

They are almost never wrong and if there is something wrong with them it is that they don't show any lines at all from what I have read. I am so sorry sweetie.

I'm so so sorry but this could still be your BFP! Don't lose hope just yet!

I'm hoping it's just too early for a digi still.

Ditto. Might still be just too early for a digi esp if your BFP lines were that light.

I think it was too soon for a digi test, those lines were visible on the IC's but they also pick up very low hcg levels, the digi needs higher levels to pick it up, maybe around a 15 or so, I know they claim to pick up levels at 25 but they do work for levels lower than that. I know it sounds weird but in order for me to a get a bfp on a digi with lower hcg levels I had to actually poas, not dip the stick.

Did the lines on the IC's look lighter today? Maybe you want to get in for a beta? All those lines on the IC's were not a lie, they were bfp. Also did you use FMU? I know I am asking so many questions, I know it's hard but just wait and see what happens with the next test, can you get an answer test today? They pick up lower levels too. I am so sorry you are going through this, very very stressful,

I ditto the other ladies. When i had my chemical i had clear lines on frer and answer but the digi said not pregnant (and before the lines dissapeared). Perhaps if you got an answer test you could put your mind at ease by seeing a line on another test that is more sensitive then the digis.

I still think it is too early for a digital. Also, the line on the IC may not be that much darker yet because it hasn't even been 24 hours since you first saw a line. What about a FRER, have you peed on one of those yet?

And are you positive that you're 14dpo? Did you use OPKs and chart?

Hmmm... I did dip the stick.

The lines do look a little bit lighter, but the ones yesterday were so light that it's hard to gauge. I mean, I didn't go from a really dark BFP to a lighter BFP; I went from a faint BFP to a slightly fainter BFP. It's so hard to tell. I did use FMU and might test with SMU, too. I should have picked up some answer tests. Maybe I'll go out and get some later...

That's a good point. I guess it hasn't even been a full 24 hours yet since the first line. I really need to go get more tests...

Well, I do both, but I was hit with a double whammy this cycle. My BBT therm died, so I don't have most of the temps for this cycle and my OPKS didn't arrive in the mail until the day after I thought I O'd. I tested to see if I surged later, but I don't think I did. So, I guess I don't' even know for sure if I did O at all. I did have EWCM on the 7th and if I O'd then, I would be 9 DPO today (I think).

I had a faint BFP on an IC at 8DPO, but it didn't catch on the digi until 12DPO, so you are probably just too early for the digi. Good luck, I hope you get a clear no denying BFP soon

Those BFPs on the ICs definitely look like a 9dpo bfp!!!! And that would explain why you aren't getting a bfp on the digi!

You're not out until AF! Even 14DPO is still pretty early - according to CountdowntoPregnancy almost 14% of people were getting false negatives at that point. I know it's hard to be patient!!

Again I think you are off on O day and not 14 dpo, those looks like 9 dpo lines to me and using FMU to compare lines to last nights tests is not a good idea, causes way too much stress. HCG can actually reabsorb in the body as it sits in the bladder overnight, causing lighter tests with FMU or BFN's. Retest with SMU and see what those do. Maybe get an answer test some time today. Try not to stress, let's just see what the lines do over the next couple days.

Trying not to freak out. I tend to be the anxious type, so that's hard for me.

I tested with SMU and couldn't make out a line.

So I have 5 faint BFPs (though only 3 of those appeared in the time limit), one negative Walmart test, one negative digi, and one negative Wondfo. I also have taken a couple of OPKs and the lines are super dark. Darker than anything else I got on them this cycle. I know that probably doesn't mean anything. My POAS mania is just spiraling out of control a bit.

I didn't know that HCG can be reabsorbed! I'm hoping I miscalculated my O day, but I'm starting to lose hope.
