Glad it went the way you wanted :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530841 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:09:23 +0000 Katm558 530841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I feel like such an idiot now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530831 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:02:03 +0000 Katm558 530831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took another test, and BFN! Honestly, after the emotional roller coaster that I went thru last night while watching Downton Abbey, I'm really glad it's negative. I'm not medically cleared to go thru another pregnancy yet, and after seeing what happened to the family on the show, it was kinda a wake-up call for me. Pre-E is nothing to mess around with, and I need to get fully healthy and let my body have more time to recover (I'm on birth control). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530457 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 20:41:26 +0000 Pepper 530457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katm558: Ahh, gotcha. I hope you're able to get a definite answer soon! That kind of stuff drives me nutso. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530435 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 20:33:29 +0000 cyndistar3 530435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katm558: makes you wanna stock pile peer tests huh? lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530424 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 20:29:07 +0000 mrskc 530424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never seen that before! I'll be waiting for your update! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530370 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 20:05:15 +0000 Katm558 530370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pepper--the test came with a dropper, so I peed in a cup. Since TTCing my first two boys I've always used a cup just in case I need to retest. Too bad I only had one test this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530366 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 20:02:27 +0000 Katm558 530366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3--I was following your post! I'm sorry that you went thru this too, it's a killer isn't it!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530293 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:53:08 +0000 Pepper 530293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katm558: I had something similar to this a long time ago. I think it was because I peed directly on the test, rather than using a cup. That was my explanation anyway, because when I used a cup, I never had that kind of a result again. Good luck tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530269 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:15:50 +0000 oliviaoblivia 530269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooooh that's a tough one! I've never seen a result like that. Good luck tomorrow am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530264 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:14:30 +0000 cyndistar3 530264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katm558: oh I so feel your pain, this same sort of thing happened to me last week. The uncertainty is awful! Hope you get your desired results :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530210 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 17:08:29 +0000 Katm558 530210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@foodnerd81--I just had one test, I just opened it up after I saw the pink line thingy.</p> <p>I'm going to go out tonight and buy a multi-pack FRER, and hold my FMU as long as I can , so I get a really good concentration. This inconclusiveness is just killing me! I'm secretly hoping for a BFP, but with my previous pregnancy complications, I'm not sure I'm ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530199 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:54:04 +0000 photojane 530199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The same morning I got several bfp's (a FRER &amp; 3 digitals), a dollar tree test was stark white. I don't trust them! I'd say definitely get a better quality test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530192 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:44:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 530192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, I had an evap line on a dollar store test once, but it was pale gray, yours is definitely pink. But confusing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530191 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:43:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 530191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katm558: That's so weird. And it happened on 2 different tests? You don't have any others at home? I'd definitely retest in the morning on a name brand (First Response Early Result is my favorite), but I'd be SO annoyed at having to wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530180 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:29:53 +0000 Bao 530180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would retest just be sure either way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530173 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:27:45 +0000 sorrycharlie 530173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't even notice it was a pic of a pic! I would test again, I'm not good with unknowns lol..I so need definitive answers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530171 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:26:18 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 530171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone here just had a test that had a weird dye issue. She retested and it was negative. I hope yours turns out the way you want it to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530170 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:25:00 +0000 Katm558 530170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd--seriously! I tried looking it up, and couldn't really find anything about it. I'm totally annoyed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530167 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:20:20 +0000 mlm2934 530167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man! I haven't seen one like that - I would completely annoyed and anxious with something inconclusive like that!!! I say time to upgrade to a FRER and see what happens </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530129 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:27:41 +0000 Katm558 530129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And yes, this is a pic of the picture I took on my phone... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dye-run-on-hpt#post-530128 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:26:57 +0000 Katm558 530128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so hesitant to post this, but I'm really confused, so here goes nothing.</p> <p>I took a dollar store HPT a couple of days ago. I've been battling some sort of tummy bug, have been dealing with weird spotting, and have horrible cramps. I took the test on a whim, totally expecting it to come out completely negative, but that wasn't what happened.</p> <p>I dropped four drops of FMU on the testing area, watched the dye move across the strip, and after five minutes I had some pink dye collect around where the result line is. It is not a straight line and it appears to be a dye run. I took the test a few days ago, and the pink curved line is still there.</p> <p>Has this happened to anyone? Am I just over thinking? I will be going out to get a few more tests tomorrow, but the waiting is driving me crazy! </p> [attach=168/13/mhawsx.450x600.image.jpg]
