Aa
I am FED UP
Arg!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T BUY THE INTERNET CHEAP TESTS! They are a freaking waste of time, money, heartache, etc, etc. They have the WORST evaporation lines! They LOOK like BFPs. How do I know they are evap lines?! I used a non-pregnant person's urine (definitely NOT able to be pregnant=man) and they got the same line I did. It's so faint and it showed up DURING the 5 minute time period to read the test.
I am so mad at spending that money. But at least AF still hasn't shown up. These tests WORK but they work for women who have a LOT OF HCG! They claim to detect 20 but I do NOT believe that based on the tests I saw in a gallery of preg. tests and most people got BFPs at 16 dpo or further along.
Last night I was laying in bed and I rolled over and over-stretched a ligament in my lower, lower abs (like when I was preggo last time, but a few months along). And my BBs are sore still, something I do NOT get before AF! STILL HOPE BUT I'M MAD AT THE TESTS! OMG! Are these crazy hormones or what?! I like never yell on here! I feel AF-y.

Hang on in there AF hasnt arrived yet so thats one good thing. I think you should test tomorrow or as soon as you can get to the store to get a test!
Last night I had weird dreams about AF coming and I swore when I woke up, she'd be here! SHE'S NOT! I'm seriously trying to relax today, keep busy cleaning (Mon. is always cleaning day), so that I'm not missing based on stress, you know?!
Don't know when I'll get a test. Hubby left with car and it is snowing. I'm not in walking distance of a "safe" store to go to (I live in the historical part of KC's ghetto, so I'm in the nice part, living-wise... but I wouldn't go to the gas stations here with my babies!).
Anyway, I don't know if I was imagining it or awake but there was intense cramping this morning while I was in light dreaming. Could've been from having to pee, or because I was dreaming, but I don't feel it anymore. Gosh, this waiting is awful!

Im fed up to!!!!! I hope AF stays away for you and you get your BFP so its a nice birthday present for you and DH
I don't know if you already got your preggo tests from the store but I got a faint positive on both answer and First response - HCG was 3.99 - not even technically preggo. They have to be made by the same people - they look almost identical and my lines were identical too. I also got a positive on a walmart brand when my HCG was 11.4 (2 days later). The line to make it a plus sign was light and thin but so totally there!!!!!! I didn't even get a faint positive until a few days ago on the $ store test. So, I was about 5-6 days pregnant, give or take. I was just really lucky we caught it so early. I would just be missing my period now - but I was on injectibles and they wanted a blood test. I peed on the FRER before I walked out the door that morning (Tuesday of last week) and it showed faint. I think I was 9 dpo.
yea I told someone else almost the same exact thing. I was like maybe I am preg but God just wants to me learn how to be a "little" patient. I got up so many times to pee last night my hubby was like omg...you've got to be preg. LOL.
Don't worry about it! Hopefully AF stays away and I get a BFP before my birthday! Bday=Feb. 28th.
I hate this waiting and not knowing. I'm a MAJOR planner and organizer. Maybe God is trying to tell me to CHILL OUT!

I'm going to wait until Tues to see if AF comes and if not go get a test.....sorry just now checking all this.....
I've been consistent that last two cycles, so it is VERY hopeful! I'm still wearing a pad, though, because it feels like AF cramping. You would think, after having two children, I'd know what to feel like, but you forget!!!
However, FF and MyMonthlyCycles are telling me two different things: one said AF was due today, the other said tomorrow! Gosh, just to add to the suspense and drama. I'm trying to relax and de-stress so that if AF is supposed to come, she'll come on time and save me money and emotions!

Aww you poor thing!! I can't imagine having M/S all day! I used to get upset when I would get sick once during the day, nevermind all day...are you mostly in bed or you up moving around??
How do you keep anything down?? Well hopefully that will end soon! And I'm sure you'll feel much better after your U/S...just think it's only 9 days away, it'll be here before ya know it!
Joy-within the last couple months, have you usually been off or late with your Period?? If not, that's a VERY good sign!

Sorry to hear the Joy ... no af today is a good sign though! Hopefully things will turn pink later this week!
I am okay ... dealing with M/S now like crazy. I seem to have it all day, worse in the morning but all day. Other than that I'm okay, still worry sometimes about miscarrying. It's always in the back of my mind since the last one. I go for an ultrasound on the 26th for dating so hopefully I will be a bit more relaxed after that.
Okay, this one was definitely a BFN! Not even a slight evap line. I'll just get a different test in the next couple of days and see what they have to say! LOL!
When I took my first one I held it in there for 3 seconds and than I thought I wasn't keeping it in there long enough so the next couple times I held it in there for 10 seconds and got the same result and no Evap lines.
Hmmm maybe now I'm holding it in there too long...LOL
Good Luck!
aeslehc-how you doing girl??? Did you tell anyone that you're expecting???

I must have a defective batch or something. Another woman on a different forum was telling me she has been using them for the past 2 years while TTC and that some batches would do that to her and others wouldn't.
I think I'm going to go take one right now, but not keep it in the urine longer than 2.75 seconds (LOL!---directions say not more than 3 seconds) as I may be getting too much urine on it! This is what someone suggested I do, so I'll go try it!

Cindy-I remember we got our Periods on the same day, Feb 1st...and oddly enough I am Ovulating! I was having the worst Ovulation pains last night and today I have the sticky CM....I feel like I'm Ovulatiing soon since it took me 40 days to get AF this month.
Do you think you've Ovulated yet??

OMG Joy, that is too funny about your Hubby! I am seriously still laughing about it. I keep scrolling up to read it over and over. LOL
I also have those tests and just for FUN cuz I'm a psycho I've already taken like umm 4 of them! haha and I haven't had a problem with the Evap lines? Weird!
I definitely thing First Response is the way to go!! AND I think you're totally Preggo and you need to test NOW! Get a 2 or 3 pack....take one tonight and well you won't need the other ones! :) You're getting us all excited for you, test, test, test!!! Have your hubby or his bro stop at the store...and if he doesn't, tell him you'll make them both pee on sticks!

Are the tests from Early Pregnancy Tests. com?? I've been using them for alomost a year now (off and on) and never had problems.....Very clear when I was pregnant and nothing on the other months....Very weird...Wonder if you got a defective batch or something...And I got my BFP 3 days before my period was due.....I use their OPT's too and they seem to work......Sorry you're having such crappy luck with them.....
With DD I got a negative at 12 & 13 DPO and VOILA 14 DPO I got a positive.
I have evap lines too on my IC. I like to look at them and just pretend. LOL.
I am 12 DPO TOO!!
