Who wants to analyze a pee stick???

I decided to post a picture of my super-squinter.  Suuuuuuuuuuuper squinter.  I took this FRER with FMU.  DP thinks it's totally negative.  I think I see a line.  I'm getting my blood tested soon regardless but wanted to see how crazy I am.

Also, Prometrium question: will I not have my period (if I'm not pregnant) if I continue the meds?  I was supposed to stop the pills if I had a negative test at 14 DPO.  I'm 15 DPO and I cannot tell if my test is positive or not.  AF was supposed to be here yesterday.  But if AF is going to stay away and my temps will remain high as long as I'm taking the suppositories then I won't read into it at all.

  • Don't feel bad if you don't see anything!  I want honesty anyway.  I don't have a higher res photo... I took this in the bathroom on my phone.  It's so light it just *barely* shows up in the picture but again, it could be my imagination playing tricks on me.

    A blood test will be much more definitive.  When I POAS on my first failed cycle, there wasn't even a shadow of a line on my tests - which is why I guess I'm reading more into this than I probably should.

  • Did you go for a blood test yesterday? When are those results due back? I'm sorry but I don't see a line either...

  • I'm going to get my blood tested today.  Yeah, I know the test looks stark-white BFN in these photos but I swear I see a line when I look at it in person... but DP doesn't, so this makes me really doubt myself.  The Wondfo had a pink line, too, but I couldn't capture it on my camera.  Stupid lense wouldn't focus properly.  Grrrrrrr
  • Thanks y'all :) I just got back from getting my blood drawn.  In anticipation of a BFN I enjoyed one last progesterone-induced culinary sin which I dare not confess.  Food just tastes soooooooooo good when I'm hopped up on progesterone.  It will be a good thing for me to stop taking it, then maybe I can get myself back under control and try to lose some of this weight before my next try!
  • Those FRER tend to be squinters when they first become positive. Our first positives on FRER were very faint and it took several days before the second line was clearly getting darker. It's a hard call from that pic to say whether it is a squinter or negative. I hope your blood test comes back positive.

  • I can't really see a line, but it's usually easier to see in person than in a photo.  Your beta should clear things up!  Keep us posted.

  • Welllllllllllllll nuts.  The results came back negative.

    I'm pretty annoyed.  I think they did a qualitative HCG test rather than quantitative since I never got any numbers.  I can readily accept negative results but I really, really wanted to know the number.  If it was like, 7 or 8 then maybe I would stop thinking I was crazy for seeing the faintest of faint lines on my tests.  Now I'll never know.

    Oh, well.  I stopped the progesterone suppositories.  Waiting for AF and then I'll be good to go for my next cycle :)

  • Sorry for the BFN. :( enjoy your beer and fingers crossed for next time!

  • :( sorry to hear. We had a negative test and then my DP had a dream to check the test again so she fished it out of the bin the next morning and there was a very faint line! Of course I was still reluctant to believe it, after all the disappointment I didn't want to get my hopes up but the blood test confirmed a positive. Those bloody tests... They can do your head in when you are trying! Good luck for next round!!
