EEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!!!
So after 9 months of TTC our 2nd child I think we may have our bfp! I have been charting for 9 months and last month after yet another bfn I spoke to my fertility advisor and she put me on Vitex (i have a short LP cos Im still bfing my 17month old) and we decided to stop charting, relax and let it happen when it happen. So I have no idea when I ovulated or if this is even a bfp?? I used FMU and am on CD30 so I'm hopeful 
I used a quickcard msd but the second line didn't come up till exactly 5 mins and the back of the packet says that you should read a positive result at 2 minutes so thats what is making me think its a meanie evap line. Are first response good? Should I re-test with one in the morning? TIA |

As long as it has [ img] at the start and [/ img] at the end it should work without any spaces of course :) Use the URL code in between -------------

hi mum21
you need the IMG code from photobucket, if you open the picture on there you will see it says share this image, copy the IMG code one and just paste it into here. ive heard that first response are great and hardly ever get evaps. and they can pick up positives a lot earlier than other tests. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I used FR and at 16DPO it did take the full 2 minutes for the 2nd line to come up and the test line was faint. That was all that was needed to confirm being UTD though. I'm now 13 weeks preggers - I highly recommend FR. I used the dipstick ones. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Its kinda blurry, I'm sure I can see the 2nd line but my laptop doesnt pick up lines very well.
I would use a first response or Discover if your feeling rich and test again. YAY ------------- TTC for 4 1/2 years IVF #1 - April 2012 short BFP, no frosties IVF #2 - August 2012, BFP!! 3 frosties! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I can see a faint pink line! Id say its a BFP, try with another brand, I recomment First Response Midstream($10 from Countdown) they are really good!(and more reliable than the first response dip stick ones) ------------- |

omg omg omg I couldn't wait until the morning and I did another test! I used a First Response dip stick one cos the silly supermarket didn't have the other ones you ladies said but it doesn't matter anyway cos it was another BFP so Im convinced I must be UTD now, especially with AF missing in action and because I didn't use FMU either!
My cheeks hurt from grinning ear to ear.

Thank you everyone for the kind wishes! I think I may have spoken too soon though 
I just did another test (couldn't use FMU cos I didn't have a test then) and it was only JUST positive. It took the full 5 minutes to come up and it is really faint. Its definitely pink, not a shadow, but still....I thought it would get darker everyday? The test I took yesterday afternoon was darker which has me worried a little bit
I'll take a pic and put it up! Can anyone request pregnancy bloods from their doctor? |

Im sure your still UTD you could of had too much fluids which diluted the test.
Yep go into your GP show them your tests and ask for bloods to be done to track HCG. It should be free too because its pregnancy related. ------------- TTC for 4 1/2 years IVF #1 - April 2012 short BFP, no frosties IVF #2 - August 2012, BFP!! 3 frosties! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Same brand or different? Also, had you eaten/drank anything prior to testing? That can dilute the urine enough to make the test come out fainter... My first bfp with Jaelyn was reallly faint, then the next morning I did another FMU test and it was darker... then when i did another one later that day to show my DP, it was almost as faint as the previous days one... Gave me a fright, but I was most definitely pregnant because a couple of days later I got an extremely dark positive in the middle of the day... ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003

It is a FR, same as I used yesterday but yeah, now you mention it, yesterday I didn't drink much at all and today I've had 2 cups of tea and some water so eeeeeeeeeeeeek............I'm so hoping its just cos I was drinking today!!! |

I had the exact same thing happen Mum21, I did a test and it was dark red line, then I did another test the next day and I could barely see it .
So to set my mind at ease , I proceeded to do another 6 tests , then I went to the dr who told me " I have been a GP for over 20 years and only ever seen ONE false positive, if you had 2 postives , its 99percent certain you are pregnant " And evaps on first response are a clear/ grayish silvery colour ...that come up well after the test has dried, usually half an hour or more later ... ...and I can still see that line , its faint , but its there -------------

Awww thanks Kelly..I just got back from the docs. They took a blood test but the results may not be in till Monday.
They made me poas again and damn it all, it was so so so so faint I couldn't even see it (but the lovely nurse assured me she could see it kind of  )
The doc seems to think it may have been a chemical pregnancy to go from dark lines to barely there so he said to temp in the morning and do a test with FMU....if its negative then he said I am most likely not pregnant. I'm holding out hope still!!!! Afterall, AF hasn't arrived so SOMETHING must be happening down there

Mum21 when I got UTD I did a test in the morning and it had a reasonable line then I went to the doctor later in the day and did a test and it was hardly there, so faint. Because I hardly had any pee! lol a line's a line and my blood test proved it, I don't think they should say its a chemical pregnancy how could they even know that at this time, they shouldn't scare you like that. Good luck and just keep testing Im sure it will get darker.

I agree wtih mrsh101 ! tho its hard, try not to worry too much about what the dr said, they say dumb things sometimes, mine made feel petrified when he couldn't hear my babies heartbeat on the dopplerthing when I was only 8 weeks
Those tests they use at the Drs , I always take ages getting a good solid positive on too . -------------

Thanks to everyone for the support yesterday! It was a long day!
I took another test this morning and it was another faint BFP!!! Then the nurse rung with my blood results which came out at 71 so she said I'm definitiely pregnant but just had a late implanter so the hcg hasn't built up too much yet. Ooooooh!!! I'm so happy!
