You'd think I'd be a pro at POAS by now - but I decided to test today (9pdIUI) b/c - well, b/c I can't figure out if I'm stressed & tired or maybe having symptoms. I always remember people saying, if it's early enough for symptoms it's early enough for a +.
Anyway, so I POAS not expecting a darn thing and sure enough - a very faint blue line. When reading online it says this particular test can detect 6.5mg of HCG where as the wondfo will decect 25mg of HCG.
Anyway - while I really, really don't want to let myself get excited (no more FMU until tomorrow!) do you think the blue tests are ever reliable? I'm going to grab a different one at the store today for good measure and not mention a thing to DH...anybody suggest a good brand for early results that use pink dye??
ETA: I've used this test before 3 times before in different cycles - all negative. Of course it doesn't hit me that it's blue until it's +...also, I did test out my trigger and it's been fully out of my system since Friday.
ETA: #2 Okay, so we ar now 11dp trigger and 10dpIUIU. I tested this morning with a variety of tests (3). The results are in: FRER - bright, clear positive - no mistaking it or squinting. ClearBlue: Same - it's a blue one though and I had convinced myself of a false positive yesterday with a generic blue dye test. Wondfo (what I used to test out): Very, very faint line. Seriously, so faint you have to know what you're looking for - but still there faint. This is what's throwing me off - why is this one so faint and the other ones dark? I'm scared that when I was testing my trigger out I missed something - but I remember turning that darn Wondfo every single angle I could and seeing nothing.
So, I'm still in doubt (wth is wrong with me? Not at all how I pictured this going). Luckily AF is supposed to start on Thursday and I usually start spotting tomorrow & Wednesday - so not much more of a wait before I'd believe it. For now, since I have a line (and I know, "a line is a line") I will just lurk on this board. Thanks for all of your support, Ladies - I really appreciate it!!

Hmm - good to know - yes, I tested out with wondfos...
I didn't think that FRERs were more sensitive than Wondfos.. just that they showed a more clear line... I'm not an expert though

Thanks for posting this picture. I dug out all my HPTs - and sure enough there was a disappearing line (I remember it at 8dpo-ish). Sunday, I had to tilt it to see - and then yesterday was a bit darker - but today is a clear line on the Wondfo. Another good sign (I've peed on a lot lately) is that up until last night I was getting negative Wondfo tests at 8pm - last night I got a clear positive on it. Todays lines are all much more clear - so I'm starting to believe it - I guess it just hasn't sunk in all the way. I guess I'm holding out for AF to not show on Thursday before I believe it 100%.
