"Testing too soon leads to ambiguos results"

[tina1111]

I am weak when it comes to testing and my temps are good. So, at 9dpo I did an frer. I know better, but we've all done it :)  I was left with an evap. I rarely get evaps on frer and when I do they go away after the strip dries. Well, strip is dry and it is still there. Originally, it was so dark it looked like a pencil line drawn on it. Now, it is "squint down" material, lol but there. I can't see any color at all, so it counts bfn. But, good heavens does it make for an exciting wait! That was my last reg hpt, I have 2 digis left. I guess I need to restock, he he he.

Hi, I had an  odd cycle this time. It started later than usual & it lasted 8 days. Mostly brown & brownish red. Only light bleeding & some days just spotting. Noticed it mainly when I wiped. Just for the heck of it I took my temp last night & it was 98.6. Any chance I can be pregnant or just wishful thinking??? Thanks

Hey Tina,
        So glad to be back on line, it was driving me crazy, you know it almost took a week for those suckers to fix my service! AUGHH. Well I was just creeping on your page and wanted to drop another load!........... OF SSBD!!!!!  HeHeHe

Hey Tina,

I was soooo hoping to see you posting about your BFP this morning. It really sounded like yesterday you had one in the making!! Keep your head up because it is still early!!!!

I wish I could say I knew what is going on with me! My temp is still high (98.8) but I am having off and on minor cramping.  This morning before church I noticed a very small light brown mucus glob and thought "oh hell, here she is" but that was the only time today that I had that (knock on wood) I just want this so bad and I don't think I can handle being sad about something else. I keep asking Cooper to give me courage. My poor little angel is working so hard! He always seems to find some way to make his mommy smile again!!!

Well I am going to try and hold out for a few more days. When is the next testing for you???? Good luck and I am soooo cheering for you!!!

I hate those stupid ghost lines.  But yeah, it's still early and you have a few more days to obsess over your tests.  I don't think the 3pack is going to last LOL.  I peeked at your chart again and it's still looking good.

Sooper dooper sticky baby dust!

yep lots of time i got bfn 10dpo and bfp 16dpo, wish you all luck and lots of baby dust :):)

[tina1111]

Stark white this am. Yesterday's was definitely just a darker evap. It's still only 10dpo, lots of time for a 2nd line to show up :)  It sure made for an exciting day, lol. I haven't had one of those in a long time, he he he

[blessedmomof3]

Tina, A line is a line as far as I'm concerned. =) Anyway, I'm pulling for you. BFP BFP BFP!!!!

[rdh1981]

Tina girl, just fess up.... you KNOW you are going to take another test today!!! I have two FRER's and Clear Blue Digital teasing me in my bathroom cabinet and I am just to afraid to use them.

I can't stand the wait, but I can't handle a BFN.  Everytime I go to the bathroom I keep checking to see if I am spotting, I just have so much ewcm it feels like I am leaking. (sorry tmi)

Well I be checking in like a stakler to see when you post about your BFP!!!

Rachael, even the walk to the potty shouldn't raise it that much. As with everything, I am obsessive on temping. I do one in bed and I have a 2nd thermometer that I pop in my mouth as I head to the potty. It is usually about 2/10 of a deg higher. So, YES, your temps look really good!

I have to test again tomorrow, lol. Heck, I probably will again late tonight if I can hold my tee tee long enough *blush*  It's been months since I've even had a chance at a bfp. That 3pk I bought today may not make it 2 days *blush again*

[rdh1981]

Hey Tina,

To answer your question no I did not take my temp in bed, because our room is so dark and I am so blind I can't see. So, I walk about 5 feet to the bathroom and test while I am using the potty....he he he. Sorry tmi!!! Like I said I have no clue about this temping thing, I just thought I would see what my temp was and it was at the higher end, so I kept on doing it.  

I have on an off cramps, I am beginning to think I should throw in the towel, but I did have cramps my whole pregnancy with Coop, so who knows.

I wish I could snap my fingers and make this week fly by.  Are you going to test again tomorrow??? I'm too chicken!!!!

Have a good weekend and keep starring at your pee stick!!!!!

[amy0013]

Wow, that is really exciting!!!  I'm 10DPO and have tested the past two morning (POAS-aholic like you!)  I've squinted and tried so hard to see SOMETHING and there's nothing there!  I'm excited you're at least getting SOMETHING on yours!!  Keep us posted!  :)

[tina1111]

I have stared at it a few 100 more times and it definitely has something there. I would post a pic, but I know it would be pointless. It's so faint I can barely see it. It just doesn't look like any color to me though :(  I did go get a new 3 pack. I will probably try again tonight knowing me.

Rachael-are those temps b4 getting out of bed in am? They are pretty high for basal temps. But, if they are really basal, they are great!

Trish-way within the time frame. I have had them dry up and go away. You know the ones. The line where the line would go "if" it were there. Even after it dried, there is still "something" there. But, it really does look grey, no pink :( But, gosh!  It is great while it lasts, he he he  It's like guilty until proven innocent. It's bfp until proven bfn. At least for today :)

[rdh1981]

Oh, Tina our cycles are so close. AF is due on Thursday. I am aching to test but my heart will just break if I see BFN.  I humored myself and started taking my temps after ovulation they have been around 98.8-99.0, is that good??? I have no clue about the temping thing. All I know is I have tons of ewcm and I am so sick to my stomach, that is excatly what happened when I got pg for Baby Angel Cooper.

I am really trying not to get my hopes, but I really want us BOTH to have a two line moment!!!!!!

I will try and hold out until Wednesday.......I think??????

Good luck and it sounds like you have a BFP in the making!!!

[kikicoates78]

~YAY~ I swear I havn't been on in 2 days and I'v missed so much! This is going to be an intresting week for you Tina! I can't wait for your BFP post! :)

[cure65roses]

To me this means:   two lines,  is TWO LINES!!   How exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paranoidpatty]

I don't know about that being an evap?? Did it show up within the timeframe?  I know you're the master of HPT's, especially FRER's, so I know I don't have to tell you to hurry and replenish your stock :-)  I probably would save the digis for a couple more days. But definitely get another box of the regular FRER's.  And I peeked at your chart and yes, it looks good the way they were steadily rising!!

Extra strength soooper doooper sticky baby dust!

Trish

Tina, I just wanted to wish you luck!

And yes, of course, it was too soon.
