Trust the digitals? *Update*

"possible' bfp mentioned---
Um, wow. I am due for AF in two days and had an ept digital that came free with the opk's. Today is my day off so I collected my fmu in a container and put it hidden in the fridge-not laying this on dh before he leaves for work, to avoid him stress. (he knows my cycle but prefers to be informed rather than participate in poas LOL).
So now he and all kids are out of the house and I took it and BFP!
Ok, I don't trust it. I'm an old-school two lines gal. I think I am running out to get something that involves lines. I feel crappy, like if I wasn't TTC I'd assume I was PMS.
I am so glad to have you all to talk about this with!!! I can't exactly call my 40something friends, all of whom are way past this and some even grandparents, and say, hey wanna go to cvs with me to buy a second pregnancy test to go with the first one I took today?
*****Update***** I ran out and got a 2 pk of FRER. As is typical for me, there was a VERY faint line-which historically for me means BFP! ( I never kick these tests dark positive till past my period date). I'm going to resist the urge to go to dollar tree and buy a dozen tests...I'll wait till thu when af is due and use the other frer. Then if it's positive, I'll schedule an appt with my midwife to support progesterone, as we had discussed last week.

Re: Trust the digitals? *Update*
I would call MW now so you can start on progesterone now. Maybe they can order betas and that will give you a definite.
Good luck and woooo hoooo

ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!
Today I was due for AF-I took the other FRER and the second line was much darker! So now I believe it : ) Due June 20th.
So far dh and I are calm, happy but calm. I've been taking my vitamins, I excersize and we live generally healthy lifestyles, and I'll call the midwife for progesterone (as she advised).
We pray as well. I'm hoping for the best this time! I think I will wait to exhale until the first trimester is over...
I'm hoping and praying for baby dust for all the amazing ladies here!!! This board is awesome and a blessing-you guys are so supportive of each other.
