Faint Positive!

[rachie204]

I got  my first faint positive ever this morning.  I was worried I was just seeing things as it was VERY VERY light but my hubby who has horrible eye sight said that he could also see it.  I am so nervous that it is a fluke though.   I always read where other women post about their faint positives and they just feel so unsure about them but now I understand.  I would feel a little better if it had been a little darker i mean it was very light but it was there and in the correct amount of time.  How many days before yall think I should get a real BFP?  Yall think it still counts if you have to strain to see it?  Thanks ladies!  I am trying not to get excited for fear it could be nothing.

thanks babe

[beautifullychaotic]

lol well I hope you get your + soon!  Bummer that you got that BFN.  It will happen sooner or later.  

[rachie204]

yeah we did on the 20th od dec...the 2nd of jan and i told hubby we were tonight.  LOL  no complaints there.

Wow 41 days!  Then maybe you havent ovulated yet?  GO DO SOME BABY DANCING!!!!

[rachie204]

thanks...that makes me feel a little better and have a little hope.  I have used that kind in the past but didnt know what the FRER ment.  I may get one tomorrow and try it on Tuesday morning.  Well there is no telling when my period is due.  I usually get 5 or 6 a year.  Last one was about  41 days apart.  If it were a 41 day cycle this cycle then Jan 15th would be 41 days from my last.

First Response Early Result. I have heard nothing but good things about those tests. They are in a pink box, I think and you can test up to 5 days before your missed period. Your period isn't due until the 15th right? I would definitely say to wait a few more days, as hard as that sounds!

First Response Early Result. I used that when I thought I was pregnant. I took a dollar store test and got a faint line took another and no positive. I went and got a FRER and it was a much darker line! I recomend it.

[rachie204]

what is FRER?

[ExpectingaRedhead]

I have heard bad things about $ store tests and evap lines. Some women have experiences getting an evap line even before the 10 minute mark with those tests. I would say wait a couple days and try a FRER or a digital.

I use that site as well,i think they are good,however one shouldnt rely on them to much,since a computer program cant tell us we ovulating...only our own bodys and hormones cant dictate this,along with those smiley face ov tests,just love the day you get a smiley.....i ov different days a month so they arent that reliable,but good fun,im sure for some it works.im unfortunate and periods can be bit scatty,you can get rough idea though..love charting think its great...

Hey you should look at the site MyMonthlyCycles.com..... Its got a really neat ov predictor and if you know what length your cycles are it can help you narrow down the def few days to test for ov' so that your going to have better luck! The site helped me out with the use of ov test an the site I am now 5 weeks 3days....... I have recommended this site to many ladies and they love it! It even has a pregnancy test calculator.... The sister site MyBaby.com is great for when you get your def. BFP

GOOD LUCK GIRL!!!

[rachie204]

yes i read it withing the time limit.  thats why i figured i would get another faint today or a stronger line..but nothing.  The thing that is so frustrating is i have PCOS and my progestrone gets low and when it does i have crazy things happen to my body...much which are like pregnancy symptoms so I try not to ever really think i'm pregnant b/c it's too hard to tell the differance.  Hubby however is convinced....i'm just going to wait and see if AF comes or I get a BFP sometime this month.  On a 41 day cycle I should get my period on the 15th of Jan.

[kcs08]

Did you read yesterday's test after the recommended time limit?  Could it have been an evaporation line?  You've been psyching yourself out with all these pregnancy symptoms.  Why dont you go buy a digital that will say pregnant or not pregnant...or get a blood test to see if you have a level of detectable hcg?  If you keep stressing your AF will be LATEr and later!

[tarajanes]

I know that feeling we were going to wait see what happens this month but found myself all hyped up again.i just o'ed,they monitors are great,,,,,,,,ah but hopefully you wont be needing them...

[rachie204]

thanks tarajanes.  Yeah if my period comes and i am infact not preggers I WILL be getting some ovulation sticks or a monitor.  We wernt really trying this month it just happened and just happened to be around the right time but since we have decided to actually try I will be monitoring.

[jniebs]

I would go in and get a blood test now.  I also had an extremely faint positive, so I went and got a blood test that same day.  It showed that I was definitely pregnant!  Don't put yourself through this torture, the blood test will tell you for sure!

[kris777]

I would really strongly recommend getting the cheaper Walgreens brand digital test--I got mine there and it was 2 tests for like $14.  Try that because it gives a clear answer................it could help:)  I think if you got a faint line before that the second test may be wrong.  Getting a false negative is WAY more likely than getting a false positive.  Keep us posted and hang in there:)

[rachie204]

yes they were both dollar store $1 test.  I dont know why that happened.  I'm frustrated.

[tarajanes]

Ah man im sorry i really thought you were.but listen girl if and i mean if you get af next month.dont just rely on a doctors estimate of when you ovulate,you need get few bd in before ov also,having sex only on ov day isnt going to garrentee pregnancy.ideally you need those spermies there before that egg pops...saw on your other post about tests,i would get some of those sticks and start using them....its going to happen girl it will...

[rachie204]

yes they were both dollar store $1 test.  I dont know why that happened.  I'm frustrated.

[cindy82]

hey im sorry about the neg, but dont loose hope yet, maybe it was a deff test. you test with the same kinda test? the one you just tested with might not be that strong.

[Linzola1]

what kind of test did you test with this time?

[rachie204]

yes I retested this morning with the same kind of test and got a BFN!  I am so aggrivated.  I am convinced that I am not pregnant...regardless of all the symptoms.  Hubby still thinks I am which is strange b/c it's usually the other way around.  I just want to have a dern glass of wine and he says I still cant b/c I could still be pregnant.  With the last pregnancy I took a test everyday and didnt get a pos until 7 days after my missed period.  That would be about this coming Sat.  I guess I will just have to hang on until then.  However I am not positive when I ovulated and we did have sex Jan 2nd so I guess I get to go crazy for the next few weeks.

[beautifullychaotic]

Did you retest Rach?  I cant wait to see what your other outcome is!
