I’m not 7w3d and no period. Dizzy, lower back pain, no appetite. Really wish I knew what was wrong w me.

Still no AF! It’s difficult to focus on other things, but stress doesn’t help matters. Thursday will be 7 weeks since my last cycle (gulp). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evap-or-positive#post-2889734 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 09:19:08 +0000 peachykeen 2889734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CoffeeLover469: any update with new tests? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evap-or-positive#post-2889635 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 13:06:57 +0000 CoffeeLover469 2889635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: No, I sure don’t. My kids are 19 and 14 so I’m a bit surprised by this! I’m 39. I’ve always been irregular. I’m sorry that’s not very informative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evap-or-positive#post-2889633 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 12:55:58 +0000 Sams Mom 2889633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're not ovulating until somewhere around CD 28 (average 12-14 LP) because your period isn't ever really late, you just ovulate later than "standard". Do you track CM or use OPKs? Do you have a rough estimate to when you ovulated to know how many dpo you are? </p> <p>I have lines on Target tests like that at 9dpo, with a positive digital at 11dpo. 🤷🏼‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evap-or-positive#post-2889631 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 12:42:44 +0000 CoffeeLover469 2889631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually have cycles that are 34-40 days apart, so once I pass the 5-week mark, then the 6, I begin to test. It’s hard to capture the blue via iPhone but my negatives in the past show absolutely nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evap-or-positive#post-2889630 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 12:41:20 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2889630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CoffeeLover469: Actually, after re-reading, you said your cycle started 6 weeks ago, but if you had a late ovulation, these are probably positive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evap-or-positive#post-2889629 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 12:40:22 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2889629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CoffeeLover469: do you know when you ovulated? Go get a pink dye and try again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evap-or-positive#post-2889628 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 12:39:46 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2889628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CoffeeLover469: I think they’re too light for 6 weeks. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evap-or-positive#post-2889627 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 12:38:31 +0000 peachykeen 2889627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those tests are notoriously unreliable and that is very, very light for 6w (assuming you ovulated on time) so I would say evap, but I'd test with a FRER or digi to be sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evap-or-positive#post-2889624 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 12:28:14 +0000 CoffeeLover469 2889624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p> [attach=9968/19/ptz4j2.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evap-or-positive#post-2889623 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 12:26:26 +0000 CoffeeLover469 2889623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Help!</p> <p>It’s been 6w4d since the first day of my last cycle, and these sure look like faint positives.

I got a “YES +” on an FRER Gold Digital and my period showed within a day or two. I wrote a scathing review and also emailed them and they sent the voucher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-a-bad-batch-of-frers#post-2846471 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 18:43:33 +0000 yellowbeach 2846471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: It was negative (&lt;5) 2 days ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-a-bad-batch-of-frers#post-2846453 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 16:33:23 +0000 pachamama 2846453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After all you've been through this is just nuts. 😪😪 What was your serum HCG tho? Do you maybe have a little left over? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-a-bad-batch-of-frers#post-2846431 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 14:51:38 +0000 yellowbeach 2846431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: Thanks - I just called 1-800-376-6022 (for reference) hit 0 and was able to immediately talk to a nice woman who gave me no hassle in sending me 2 vouchers for full-value replacements. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-a-bad-batch-of-frers#post-2846424 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 14:35:35 +0000 LAZB 2846424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just call them up and they will give you a refund. I think they asked how much I paid for the test, I told them, and they mailed me a check </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-for-a-bad-batch-of-frers#post-2846420 Wed, 19 Sep 2018 14:04:43 +0000 yellowbeach 2846420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wondering if anyone has successfully obtained a refund/replacement from FR for faulty tests. As many of you might know, I recently had a cruel false positive on my FRER that was discovered when my serum HcG was negative. I had purchased 2 of the 3-pack boxes at the same time, but only used one pack. It occurred to me today that the other pack could be just as faulty as they are likely from the same lot. So, I took one today, knowing I'm not preggo, just to see what I would get. Sure enough, evap vs line at the 3 min. mark. Yesterday I emailed the company, but haven't heard anything back. If these things were cheap (like Wondfo), I wouldn't complain, but now I have to toss out the two remaining tests from the second pack as the one test from that box is faulty. </p> [attach=7491/18/pfbgzv.600x441.IMG_5546.jpg]
