So late afternoon I took an OPK which was very very close to + for these ICs. (I have a pic, but it won't let me upload from the site) This tempted me to take an HPT, all I had was a FRER. I took the FRER, then took apart my FRER, after thinking I might be seeing something faint within the time limit... When I took it out of it's casing I could see a definite pink line, faint but there. I have pics, don't worry. But it wasn't there, at least not as visible as it became after being out of it's case for like a minute. Since I opened the case before the time limit was up, should I assume that opening the case might have made a false + line, or that the test finished developing normally, and the line continued to appear for the duration of the time limit?<br>
This is driving me a bit crazy, at the moment.<br><br><a href="http://canyouseealine.com/hpts/7075.jpg" target="_blank">http://canyouseealine.com/hpts/7075.jpg</a><br><a href="http://canyouseealine.com/hpts/7076.jpg" target="_blank">http://canyouseealine.com/hpts/7076.jpg</a><br><a href="http://canyouseealine.com/hpts/7079.jpg" target="_blank">http://canyouseealine.com/hpts/7079.jpg</a><br><br>
To complicate matters, this prompted me to foolishly go forth and spend $ on more tests, and of course couldn't wait to see what happens today but took one last night. The second test was a clearblue easy +/-. From what I hear many people think these type of tests are the devil. But I used one cause it was cheaper than wasting a FRER. I thought if I see anything that looks + I will then use a FRER to double check. So yeah, within a couple minutes I saw a faint blue something. However it was quite faint indeed. So faint, I figure I must count it BFN. So I throw it in a drawer and this AM there is a wide, very visible blue line. I know the rule about not counting + after the time limit! However, does the bit that I saw something there before the time limit, count in that it could have continued to darken? This CBE was taken using very dilute pee, almost clear (which was all I had). Would that explain the very very faint line at the time, again darkening later? It is a wide blue line IRL -I can see the whole line. I did NOT take apart this CBE. I do have a pic though. Sorry it's a bit blurry; kids are very needy today.<br><br><a href="http://canyouseealine.com/hpts/7077.jpg" target="_blank">http://canyouseealine.com/hpts/7077.jpg</a><br><br>
These are the first clear, for sure color lines I have seen, from those who have seen my pics of lines the last few days, which are visible only to me, LOL.<br><br>
The end game of all this is that temp tanked today and AF arrived this morning. I have more tests but it seems pointless to take one now, though I am curious to what it may show, if anything. It is interesting that I now seem to have a 13 day LP instead of 11-12, which has always been my pattern. So does any of this indicate that this might have been a chemical pregnancy (God Forbid), or should I chalk up the lines to faulty tests, and opening a FRER?<br><br>
TIA. I appreciate your insight, ladies.<br><br><b>p.s</b>. now that I realize, if just opening the test would give a pink line, then wouldn't it have done so for the FRER I took a few days ago? I also opened that test, seeing some kind of line, but wasn't sure if it had color. Upon opening and after putting back together I could see it pretty clear, but more gray than pink. Compare the pic I showed you guys (see the 'I'm probably crazy' thread) of that test line. This most recent one is definitely pink.
