I just bought some dollartree ones this weekend (yay for weekend trip 4.5 hours away where there is a dollar tree hahah). so i'll try that one tomorrow.

COULD be evaps, but I only got stark, white negatives with FRER (and Answer) with the lightbulb trick. With the positives I got before they disappeared (chemical), I could see pink, and just a hint on the 9dpo one. I hope it works out for you!

Well yesterday morning IC was starkers. nada. Then last night, the ole testing urge got me and I bit. What do you know, there was a visible pink line... going the wrong way. DOH! Down to 2 ICs, I planned to test this morning is temp was still high. It is. IC gave me zip. Just jolly. So I figure I'm out. But JIC, I dipped this FRER I had, and got - well, IDK. Sounds in the description just like what holly described above on her tests... i got this am too. What gives?

Oh and someone please explain again how to do this lightbulb trick? Do you hold it up to it, facing you? OR with the light behind? or upright?

touch the back of the frer to the lightbulb- it totally illuminates the test window and you will see anything on it, like an xray-

and if its wet when you do it... it will make a line appear... even if you arent pregnant.

(for an example using just water, check the first page of the One thread this week)

OK so here's the FRER from today's fmu. Agh, not much shows in this photo but it was the best light. If I adjust the saturation and hue in photobucket I can see the line a lot better. Does that mean anything?

I feel like I can see something...

I am also good at seeing imaginary lines so, I hope it is your BFP!

OK so... do you do this with the test inside or outside the casing? Putting an IC up to a lightbulb did nothing, except back light it, lol. I can see how it would shine through the frer or other test with a window. But is that done with the test intact? Will holding a plastic encased test to a lightbulb give a +??
