  • Thanks @asf0613 and @DoubleUp8 - FX and praying hard that you'll both join me in the next few days - both your TWW sx look optimistic (yes I'm still stalking TTGP hardcore)!!

    @chichiphin Thanks for sharing, that makes me feel a little better about these ongoing cramps!

  • I was feeling bad yesterday with headache, overall bloated, nauseated, and tender breasts.  Decided to take a test this morning at 10 dpo.  🤯  the line definitely has more color in person. 
  • @sgrn18 I definitely see a line! Congrats!

    @bows22 thank you!!! I'm super excited and was nevous that it's an evap being so faint and with the temp drop, but I swear it was within the time frame. I may stop at the local pharmacy and pick up another FRER so I can test tonight!

    Edit: spelling

  • Hi ladies! I dipped the top test (Pregmate) today, saw a faint line, dipped the bottom (Wondfo) and saw nothing (unfortunately I don’t have a pic of those 2 with the original color within the time frame). So I did what any sane person would do :D and went out and bought an FRER which also gave me a very faint line. The FRER pics are within the testing time window.

    I’m not sure if I am seeing what I think I am, or if I just have line eyes. So I’m just looking for some opinions. My first was conceived via IVF so getting pregnant on my own is very unlikely. We’ve been trying for baby #2 for over a year now. COVID delays with the RE, a failed embryo transfer, and a cancelled IVF cycle later, we are finally in the November group to try for an egg retrieval again. I am also 13 dpo, so I feel like the line should be darker than it is? Am I crazy?? 

  • @bows22 That test  looks positive to me! I’m so excited for you!!! 
  • @bows22 there is certainly something there. This is pretty damn close to what I was seeing on that early result Wondfo last week! Keeping my fingers crossed for you! 🤞🤞🤞

    @emeraldcity1214 @inthewoods23 AF came yesterday! I put that inside of my tagged response but I should have made it more apparent. I didn’t mean to get anyone’s hopes up haha. False alarm here 👎🏻. I kept testing but every other test was a BFN

    Edit to add - it does make me feel better that you
    guys were excited because I certainly was too and felt kind of dumb after!
  • @bows22 darn it! FWIW, there was a distinct difference in color from my test on Tuesday to Wednesday (different boxes). But the remaining tests from the new box were basically the same result in color as Wednesday's test result so I definitely believe you that some of the batches could be bad because my HCG has definitely gone up but my tests aren't reflecting that.

    Faint as all get out.... but it’s there. I’m not sure how many DPO because I wasn’t tracking. But based on my usual cycles I believe I’m about 9.

  • Uughhhh @bows22 I saw your name and about jumped out of bed I was so excited! Then I read the post 😩 sorry for the false positive. 
  • @Maggie1202 Looks positive to me! If you want a real confirmation I know a lot of people like the digital tests because it literally spells it out for you.  :D  Congratulations!

  • Can anyone tell me why my images didn’t work above? I’m on the mobile app and used the photo upload. I’m confused.

    Thanks!
  • @Maggie1202 looks positive to me  :smiley:


  • @mamadeeoh the photo library or camera option is the most reliable. Using a url doesn’t always work, especially if it’s a secure photo storage site like your https indicates.

  • That kind of did not work for me
