I can't believe how some of these are pos. I just thought I was seeing things! I guess we'll see in a few days!

the first tests I took were so incredibly faint. the first one I threw away and sighed with relief because I THOUGHT it was negative. stupid me pulled it out of the trash, of course it was after the time limit, but there was a very very faint pink line. I took a total of something like 8 tests (hey those faint lines are hard to read! I needed to be sure), 3 FRER, 3 CBE +/-, and two dollar store tests, I took a $store one the day AF was due and got a nice dark line.

anyway, I swore it was all in my head. I seriously thought it was a shadow or I was imagining things. what DH suggested was opening a brand new test, and comparing it against the used test. that showed that there was obviously a line where there wasn't to begin with.

[mrsmtree]

So did the other tests seem negative too? Was it finally the $tree one that confirmed it?

Also, I had some light spotting last week that I thought was the beginning of an early period. IF that was implantation, and that's a big IF, then how long until the hcg would show up?

[Sioko]

I don't know if it's my eyes playing tricks on me , like an after image or something, but I think I see a faint positive on your dollar tree test....

[mrsmtree]

OMG - I can't believe you said that bcause I was thinking the same thing. But then I was like, no...it's my eyes playing tricks on me. But if someone else may see it then it could be...!

[seren]

I totally see the second line on the dollar tree test, too.

[barose]

I think I see a faint + too. Its hard to tell if I stare too long, but I definantly think I saw it.

[Sioko]

Sweetie, I'm sorry.

FRER ain't the end-all beat-all. It could be you're wanting it so bad, or it could really be preg. hormones, but with those symptoms I wouldn't write the possibility of preg. off completely. I mean, I really do see a line on the $tree test... although a chem. is possible... Wait for AF, then test again if she's late. That's as good a plan right?? Then for sure you should know what's up by then.

I'm still rooting for you! :

[mrsmtree]

Thanks Sioko and all of you for being so supportive and understanding.

[texaspeach]

there is totally a line on the equate one!!!

congratulations!!!!!!

[ms. pacman]

That's for sure a positive, congratulations! When would your AF be due?

[Sioko]

That Equate test is soooooo freaking positive!

[Sioko]

Not all tests react to the same amount of hcg and not all tests, even from the same brand or same box will have the same amount of dye or even react to the same amount of hcg. So if it says it picks up as little as 25 that means all their tests will pick up that much OR LESS! And it's kinda random from there down. So if the one showed up dark, the next one may show up lighter simply because of less dye, or it's picking up only down to 20 and the first one picked up down to 15.... which also explains why two tests out of the same box may not agree with each other and one say and the other say .

I hope all this was convoluted enough for you!!

Don't worry yourself crazy till someone gives you a reason to ok??
Although I'll prolly be feeling the same way too if/when I get my next BFP!

[Sioko]

I'm so sorry.
I was really really rooting for you too! I will keep on rooting for you anyway, and maybe we'll both get luckier next cycle huh??

I'm sorry. I guess some part of you knew all along huh? I'm here with you....

[seren]

I'm sorry.

[mrsmtree]

Thank you all! I was really torn. I wanted to be pregnant and thought there was a good chance, but on the other hand I was scared about the meds & you know I was always doubting those tests!
I found fertilityfriend.com to help me out with the next one. My periods can be irregular so this will help me figure this crazy thing out.
Thankfully I have been blessed with two children already! Madelynn 10 and Hunter 4.
AF still hasn't shown and it's really irritating me!

[texaspeach]

I'm sorry

methotrexate is definitely not compatible with pregnancy :

[mrsmtree]

I've been off the mtx for only about a month and a half so I was concerned about that.

Now, I just wish AF would come so I could get a move on. Idk why she is running so late this month. Maybe with the stress of the holidays it's thrown her off a bit...

Thanks for all the hugs!

[barose]

I'm so sorry.

Still no AF

Hello Ladies!
How is everyone?
Well, AF is still a no show. Day 44 of a 31 day cyle. Still waiting...maybe I haven't o'd yet? Who knows. I'm hoping it's not cysts. Anyone else really late with negative tests?
I just started charting and there was an increase in my temp today but it may not mean anything yet. It dropped a couple days ago so I thought I would be starting....nope! So now I'm thinking I'm getting ready to O and that's why I haven't started.

According to FF you O'd on CD35 so you should start AF in about 3-5 days...
