I posted about this yesterday. I tested super early (9dpo--shame, shame) and gotten a super, super faint line on a Wondfo and zilch on a FRER using the same urine.
Well, looks like my FRERs were defective because I tested again this morning with a Wondfo, and got an obvious line. I used another FRER from the same box and again, it showed nothing. At that point, I was totally confused and started to think I was getting false positives with the Wondfos, so I decided to bust out the digi. I had no faith that the thing would be positive. I stood there staring at it, fully expecting the words "Not Pregnant" to pop up. To my complete surprise, the opposite happened!!!
So about the FRERs...they were purchased through Amazon in December, lot BU1236BC, expiration 08-2013. Please check yours! I don't want anyone else to go through the confusion I did!
What we did differently: Nothing, really. I didn't chart this month because I had geared up to O (which I typically do around CD 20) and then didn't so I knew it was going to be a longer cycle and I kind of threw in the towel. We BD'd on O-2 and O (based on opk results and estimated O date).
I have been more of a lurker than a poster, but I've been around the boards since April or May of last year, and I've learned so much from the ladies on this board, both currents and grads. Thanks so much!! To my ladies who have longer cycles, today is CD 56 for me!! Hang in there!!!
I do feel very cautiously optimistic, and I will probably linger around for a while longer, since I did test so early, but today I am PREGNANT!!
