I'm not sure if this is new thread material, but here goes anyways.

I peed on another FRER & dollar store test this morning....and while they are both still very positive, they are just getting lighter and lighter....definitely going in the wrong direction. I am 100% expecting bad news this afternoon. Combine the look of these FRERs with the preliminary findings of the u/s and i think that whoever was living in my uterus is definitely vacating the premises at this point.....

I think I should show u just so u know i'm not just being negative nancy...
Here are this mornings tests:


Here is the FRER from this past friday (might have been sat, i can't remember now):

i see what you mean, but remember what i said about FRERS not being reliable?



these tests were all taken at 8 weeks pregnant with the same urine. The two on top are FRERS from the same box. Then there's an answer and a cheapie for comparison.

I'd say its good to prepare yourself for the worst, but don't give up all hope.

do you have comparisons of dollar store tests?

Aw Sarah... just try to sit tight and wait to hear from the doctor, as hard as that may be. You are going to drive yourself nuts with all these tests.

woah alice! i can't believe those are all with the same pee....that really does change my perspective a bit....i actually just dated all my tests so i wouldnt get them confused so yes i have three days worth of dollar store tests that i can show u... i might be a little while as my dh is getting home soon and i'll have to cook him breakfast...

oh also i wish we had answer brand here! they look identical to FRER!

I can't blame you for doing all this testing. As you see I was still testing at 8 weeks prego. I think loss does something to our brains and makes us crazy and paranoid. It's impossible not to be. *hugs*

I'm not sure that I would be able to relax either so I'm hoping the time passes quickly before you do drive yourself crazy (j/k).

Heard anything from the doc yet? I agree with Alice, the cheapies all look the same to me.

And as a side note, after rereading my post I realized I totally came across as a tad bit patronizing and I didn't mean to! I'm sorry. I just know it must be an agonizing wait and I hate to see you going through it.

Have you heard from the doctor yet? I do see your Mum's point - you are driving yourself nuts with all this testing... But I don't blame you - you just want to know what is going on!

If I was there, I'd be making you pee on things

Hope you hear from the doctor soon... I'm going nuts wanting to know what is going on with you.
