omg, omg, omg....I'm going crazy i think!!

Uhhh....i think i see a faint line on the internet test strips. I've taken 4 in the last 30 minutes (that's right...squeezed that pee right out 4 diff times).
I've been going crazy the last week since i've had the internet tes strips mailed ot me......i've taken at least two every day.
Today, i THOUGHT i saw a color difference, but then it went away afte a minute or two (by the time the 5 min mark was up). So i tested again, saw a shiny-ish line, like i could see where the 2nd line is supposed to be but there wasn't really a color to it. So I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me and used water on another test to determine if i could see that same type of shiny line. NOOOOOO>>>>couldn't! So I tested again, but i was trying to mark where I saw the line and got ink everywhere!! So, I tested AGAIN, AND This time I put it up against a stark white book page, and i swear I see a faaaaiiiinnnnt line! I faint faint so faint I"m thinking i'm seeing things. OMG, I wish my damn DH didn't have the camera at work so i could take a picture......ohhhhhh......
i know ya'll can't do anything, i just had to tell someone so i don't go crazy!!!
It's almost like I have to look away so i can see the line in my periphereal visionk , that's how faint it is...but i swear i think one's there.
After my qualitative test at Planned Parenthood yesterday i shceduled a quantitative test w/my doctor. The nurse told me she'd have the results by this am and she would call me. Well, the stupid COW didn't call me and so at 2 I called her. Turns out the office closes at 12 for the day and i can't get the results from the lab myself! So I have to wait until tomorrow to get the results and i'm so impatient!!! I had given up hope after that qualitative test but now, with this ever so faint line, i'm instilled w/hope again!!!!

wheww...okay, i'm done. ;-)

armybrat: thanks....turns out it was a fluke. HCG is a 2. not pregnant. At least I have lots of test strips left over for all those other 2ww's!!!

I read online about women hating the test strips b/c they produce faint lines when they're aren't supposed to be any. Why didn't i see that when i was freaking out about my "faint line?' heheheh.....oh well.....there's always next time!

congrats again on your BFP!!!

Don't worry, I used those internet test strips too, and didn't see a line there until after I got my blood test results back. It never got completely dark either. Good luck!

msgorgeous, linzola, casandbaby:  You guys are awesome cheerleaders. I don't care if i don't get pregnant until 5 years from now...i'm messaging YOU GUYS!!! (Obviously i don't want to wait that long but, i'm just saying...)

Joyrenee-I understand the internet cheapy is possibly fooling around with me. That's why i had a blood test....no point in guessing for the next few months.

Linzola...it was within the expected time frame so it couldn't be evap lines. Actually, after about 10 minutes is up, i can't see anything. not sure what this means though.

I had what I think were evap lines on my equate and EPT last week (i think it was last week). On one, the evap line was that 'ghostly" color that isn't really a color but on the other, the line was totally blue. However, i realize that it doesn't count unless it's within the time frame so i didn't count it.... :( wish i could of though.

Sigh....if i had to bet a thousand dollars i woudl say i'm not pregnant. But hey, i can always hope, right ladies? (at least for the next 12 hours or so. hehe)

Thanks for all the support girls!!!! I need it!

Casandbaby...my fingers are crossed for YOU too pinc!

Those Internet Cheapies are known for evap lines. Water won't make a shiny line because it is a different fluid than urine. I've tried this many times. Let's cross our fingers and hope the best for the blood test!!! I hope this is it for you!

Thanks!!! I just took a first response and same thing! If I hold it up to the light (which is getting scarce at this time a day) I can see an area of color change. If I'm just looking at it, it loks like there might be the teeniest, tiniest line.....ugh! I can't tell! i can't tell!

So now i'm wondering, did i actually O and a week or so ago and got preggo that time instead of back in early April? If I was somewhere near 8 to 11 dpo when I had the blood drawn yesterday, would my hcg levels be higher than 5???
