Help! (possible BFP)

Clark9229

I need some reassurance badly. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for years now. Every negative result breaks me. Especially after hearing a doctor say most couples are considered infertile if they have not conceived after a year.

Yesterday, New Year's Eve, I fell sick out of the blue. I was nauseous the rest of the day. All smells were bothering me. After my husband came home he convinced me to take a pregnancy test. The first one had a very faint positive line that quickly faded. The second one had another faint positive line but it seemed to fade up the stick to the control test line. The third one said invalid. The fourth one was much like the first two. Those were taken with dip tests, where you dip the test strip in a cup of urine. The fifth test was a clear-blue that came with a digital test and your typical + or - test. I took the typical one first fearing what the digital words would say. The fifth one showed a plus sign but the vertical line was very thin (like a line drawn with a pencil) and it was very faint. I showed my husband so I know it wasn't just me seeing things. The last one was the digital test which came back "not pregnant". But even now, a few hours after the digital test was taken, I feel a crampy feeling in my lower abdomen, a feeling some people describe in an early pregnancy.

What's going on? What do you think? Did I take all these tests wrong to get a false positive or could the digital one not be able to detect a very early pregnancy?

You will have to keep testing to see. Wait and use a FRER in the morning with your first morning urine.

I would take a test first thing in the morning.

I'm sorry I don't think it's possible for us to be able to answer this with any certainty.

Possibilities:
You could be about to get your period.
You have faulty HPT.
Your urine could be too diluted.

What Would I do?

I would use pink dye only.
New Choice (first choice?) from Dollar Tree has never failed me. They are cheap.

Use your first morning urine.

I would avoid digitals until you get more than a squinter on a dollar tree or FRER pink dye test.

Wishing you luck.

The evap line was still there after several minutes later after the vertical line had already disappeared, so that makes me think it's a possible positive. But yes, you're right, I will keep testing first thing in the morning. I wanted to schedule an appointment for a blood test but I just don't feel comfortable enough with the results I've gotten so far

I'm going to say what everyone else is. Test again in the morning with a pink dye test and FMU. FX for a BFP for you!

Lol, they were definitely squinters. Tests that I've taken years or months prior have showed negative almost immediately. I haven't gotten results like these before so it's really throwing me for a loop

I'm pretty sure digis are less sensitive. Keep testing with pink dye tests! Good luck.

What exactly does this mean?  How does a line fade?  If you're talking about the line being slightly visible as the urine pulls up the test paper, then that doesn't count as a positive.  Just being able to see that the dye strip is there is not the same as having the dye strip activated.  Wait a few days, like PP have said, and test again later.

If you watch a test as the urine moves across it can look like a line appears and disappears but that's just the test. A positive wont disappear like that. I second what others say about testing again with fmu. Good luck!!!

Don't watch the test as it develops. Someone on here just posted the other day about watching the test develop and seeing a line where the test line would be, but it was only because the dye was passing over it, not because it was actually positive.

Evap lines are not positive and blue dye tests give false positives sometimes. It sounds like every test you've taken so far has been negative. I'm sorry. Have you talked to a doctor about TTC for so long with no pregnancy?
