I wish I could throat punch everyone involved in planning this project in my home state. Absolutely disgusting.

Mine is the idiot who tied his dog to the outside of his tow truck here in MA. Someone took a pic of them on the freaking highway and it went viral. I had to go hug my dog for a while afterwards.

My co-worker I keep complaining about. See Weekly Randoms.

@mercury94 that dude deserves more than just a throat punch.

@mercury94 can I get his address to send him that dick glitter that explodes when you open the package?

Okay, I know this is from yesterday but IDC. My TP is for FRER. Had a giant tempt drop and spotting this morning, with a very faint but visible second line on a FRER. Clearly a repeat of @chichiphin's experience. WTH are we supposed to test with if FRER's are giving false positives now?!

chichiphin · July 2019

@ruby696 I am SO sorry friend.

this is also ALL over the infertility subreddit and TTCAL subreddit. They're worthless atm. I'm sticking to my pregmate cheapies for this entire cycle.

ruby696 · July 2019

@chichiphin My wondfo's have been stark white and my RHR has been super low, so I wasn't at all surprised when I started spotting. I mean, I even had a stark white BLUE DYE TEST. It's effing ridiculous. On the bright side, at least I can order my IVF meds now. 😂

shamrocandroll · July 2019

Ughhhhh so I guess I'll be ordering another brand of HPT now. I'm so sorry @ruby696

mvt2003 · July 2019

I'm so so so sorry @ruby696

mercury94 · July 2019

@ruby696 That’s awful. I’m so sorry. I guess I’m looking for another brand too, then. After falling for the blue dye fakeout last cycle, I don’t want anything that’s known for giving false positives. Hugs to you.

mvt2003 · July 2019

@chichiphin do we know when the uselessness started? I have a box with 2 left from a cycle or two ago, wondering if I should throw them out. I'll stick with my Pregmates in the meantime.

@ruby696 now that you say that, that explains why I saw what I figured was an evap line on my last FRER that I used Monday. I realized I forgot to take it before the saline sono. They hadn't instructed me to take one (they had for my first one) but I figured better be safe than sorry and had dipped it in the toilet just so I could say I at least took one.

First time I ever saw a smidge of something on a FRER that wasn't used to test the trigger shot lol

chichiphin · July 2019

@mvt2003 I'm not sure. My bad batch was purchased in early June. Now, I only know if people with extreme squinter issues. If you have a full blown second line, I don't think it is an issue. My RE in June was like, please avoid anything that involves assessing a line. She recommended digitals but of course the crazy in me was like... BUT THEY AREN'T AS SENSITIVE!!!

mvt2003 · July 2019

@chichiphin Ha I feel the same way. I went back into my apps to figure out when I bought the FRERs, and I think it was late April (I realize this displays what incredible restraint I have - I've only used 1 since April). I might chance it and double-test with a Pregmate.

ruby696 · July 2019

@chichiphin and @mvt2003 I wasn't getting a line on an older box I bought (probably April?). This one was from a brand new box from Amazon. Just delivered yesterday.

emeraldduchess · July 2019

Ugh, @ruby696 I am so sorry. What a mind game. The RE told me to stay away from the HPTs this cycle and come in for a blood test if I made it to 18dpo. We'll see if I listen. Now that I know the FRERs are being stupid, it might be easier to resist!

bows22 · July 2019

WTF I’m sorry @ruby696. I don’t think I will ever trust a FRER again after @chichiphin but I still buy them because I don’t know what else is good. I’m going to check out pregmate.

chichiphin · July 2019

I actually have really liked pregmate for OPKs and HCG. They are 25iu sensitivity though, so you wouldn't get a BFP super early.

m6agua · July 2019

@ruby696 I'm sorry

*TW pregnancy, MC as it applies to tests*
FWIW I think the Dollar Tree tests are the best out there. For both of my pregnancies (loss-BO, and LC) I got a positive on those tests before the FRER at between 8-10 dpo. I had my HCG tested with my second pregnancy the same day I got a positive on the Dollar Tree test and it was 16!
