TTC After a Loss

Confused! + hpts 3 days in a row and - digital hpt. What??

Okay, so I took a internet cheapie HPT on Wednesday at 8 DPO (I know, I know - crazy early, but it was my wedding anniversary and I thought it would be great to find out that we were pg on that day and if not I could chalk it up to being too early).  I took 3 tests and got the faintest of faint lines - but I saw something.  Yesterday I took 2 more tests - faint line was there and more obvious (but still very faint).  I have been feeling very pg (just like I did with my past 2 pregnancies - very bloated, tired, slightly nauseaus, etc).  I have a Early Response Gold test left over from my last pregnancy in December and I was saving if for the confirmation test when I was pretty sure I was pg since they are expensive.  DH said to wait because it is so early, blah, blah, blah but I figured if I got faint lines on the internet cheapies, then I should get a + on the digi because it's an early result digi.  Well, I just took it and got a BFN - WTF??  I also took a internet cheapie and got a faint line.  I should explain that I am on CD31 and the longest cycle I have had since the miscarriage has been 32 days (and shortest 28 days) but I o'd on day 21 so today I am only 10 DPO. 

Have any of you guys used the First Response Gold digital test?  Any luck this early on?  Man, I was hoping to get that YES+ sign and stop wondering.  Grr... this is driving me nuts! 

My fingers are crossed hoping that my eggo is preggo.

  • Hmmm...I have sometimes heard that digitals take little bit more to get a + on... Check out:  peeonastick.com to know for sure.  But on the others, that sounds great!!!!   Smile  Or go out and get a FRER, those always work!  Let us know!

  • I'm pretty sure that it takes longer to get a + on a digital. Wait a couple more days and use another one. But definitely consider yourself pregnant....a line is a line. Congrats!

  • Yes, I think the digitals have a higher threshold.

  • I know a line is a line but they are really, really faint...  Now I am starting to psyche myself out... Ugh!

     

    Do you think I would be totally crazy if I called my doctor and asked for a blood test today?

    I?ve noticed that the internet cheapies tend to be a lot more sensitive than some of the others. Wait a couple more days and test with the digi. GL!

    definitely!  Good luck!
  • The digitals are less sensitive and if you are only 10DPO today it's still super early! Test in a few days or if you want better confirmation, call your Dr. for blood work. GL!

  • if there's even a faint line, that should mean that you have SOME hcg in you... i would assume that means KU! definitely get a blood test to be sure :)
  • Thanks ladies!

     

    I talked to my doctor's nurse.  I am going to go in Monday morning for bloodwork to get my levels checked.  And hopefully I will have a reason to go in on Wednesday morning to check to see if the levels doubled.  

     Fingers crossed.
