Seriously, throw away your internet cheapie HPT's, girls

JamieFLJamieFL
in TTC after 35

Yesterday I posted that I thought that I saw a line.  I tried again with a cheapie with FMU this morning and thought I saw something again.  I showed it to DH and he said that he could see where the line should be.  We were both left wondering.

I broke down and used my only CBE digital even though I knew it wasn't as sensitive as the others.  Within a minute, "pregnant" appeared.  We are stunned, excited and scared.  Now the worrying begins that everything is all right.

I can't thank this board enough for the insight provided for being over 35 and TTC.  I'm not planning on leaving or venturing over to the other boards yet because I'm not ready, darn it.  Plus, I want to see all of the BFP's from all of you.  In the meantime, all my prayers to you and wishing sticky baby dust for us all.

In case you are interested, my symptoms were minimal.  I spotted briefly from 9-11DPO (Hollymichaels was right about implantation, I guess!) and had cramps starting from 5DPO that taper on and off.  They were all the signs that AF was arriving, or so I thought, so don't give up hope if you feel this way. 

All in all, never give up hope!  Blessings to you all...

    YAY!  H&H 9 months to you!  I know people say that digitals are less sensitive than non-digitals, even the more expensive non-digitals, but that was not my experience at all.  I got almost all BFPs on digitals and none on any non-digitals when I had my CP.

    Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO! Another BFP! H&H 9 months to you!

    As for internet cheapies, I was using them just to fuel my need to POAS.  I did get a really faint line on one which led me to use the CBE digital which gave me the clear "Pregnant"...so I think they are okay, they have their limitations, but it's better to use those at first than to waste tons of digital tests.  I used 3 or 4 cheapies each cycle...so it was a decent $$ savings.
