Hi ladies! I am 9dp3dt for my 3rd IVF. For my first 2 cycles I spotted or got AF on 7dpt or 8dpt, so this is the longest I've made it without any bleeding. I had never POASed until about an hour ago. Predictably, I'm regretting it and just generally freaking out. It was an early test - the +/- kind. The horizontal line was extremely faint, and the vertical line (the one that counts) was even more faint...like barely there. I didn't use first morning urine and I've been drinking a lot of water today (I cant seem to get enough). So, for you HPT veterans, two questions: (1) does using FMU make a difference?; and (2) is it true that any line, no matter how faint, is a positive? Thanks!
(2) is it true that any line, no matter how faint, is a positive? Yes, majority of the time
(3) Do try to stay away from IC & Blue Dye tests, they have a history of giving false positives. A very popular brand around here are FRER HPT.
GL!
