TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

Stooped to all an new level of low

Admit it, who else has whipped out their magnifying mirror to look at their test? I got my hopes up at 10dpo... duh... When will I ever learn?

Re: Stooped to all an new level of low

  • Oh yeah. Right before I tore the thing apart, climbed on the vanity, and held the test strip to the light.

    I'm sorry for the BFN, hon.

    uh, I may have done that afterwards.  So glad I am not the only one.  DH would just commit me if he witnessed any of it. 

  • I'm sorry about your BFN. :(

    I've torn mine apart and held them to the light too.

    I think I need to buy a magnifying glass now...

     I have done all of the above. I hope it is just too early for you! 

  • I hope it's just too early hon... And no shame... we've all been there.
  • *sigh* I got a red marker and drew in a second red line after a BFN... just to see how pretty it would look.

    I don't think any of us here have ANY room to judge.

    So sorry about the bfn. Even at 10 dpo they really suck!

  • Me, with every one!!  It lived right on Pee Stick Ledge (my bathroom shelf).

    I hope your next BFP is so B and F that you won't need it, though.

  • Sorry about your BFN. Those magnifying make up mirrors with the bright lights surrounding them work nicely, and you don't have to climb the vanity.

    No judgment here, I think we all do it.

    Oh I am definitely guilty of this.  Hold it up to the bathroom light, open the fridge and put it under the bright light in there, take it outside and hold it up to the sun......yeah....

  • I take my camera and zoom in on them, then take a pic. You know, in case my pee is activated by a flash or something.
