Good luck this cycle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2682055 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 10:15:41 +0000 shellio 2682055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I got a first beta draw that same day - then started my period the next day, womp womp! I'm glad to be back on a regular TTC cycle, since my O date will be more predictable and I'll have a solid due date if we do get our BFP. Thanks for checking in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2682029 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 09:58:08 +0000 winniebee 2682029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: any update on your tests? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2678069 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:21:21 +0000 Boogs 2678069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see the lines, hope this is it for you! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677873 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:35:53 +0000 shellio 2677873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: @mrskansas: @periwinklebee: Excellent point. I'll call the OB office today and see if they can do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677864 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:29:13 +0000 periwinklebee 2677864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you can, I would go in and have betas done, just for peace of mind. I've found curved frer's are also lousy at getting darker, I would put that money towards betas :goodluck: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677859 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:25:48 +0000 mrskansas 2677859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to ask the same thing as winniebee. I had a MC on December 7 and even though I passed everything that day, my levels didn't drop for at least 10 days after and they were low to begin with (1,800).<br /> I wouldn't necessarily be worried about this being residual hCG but I'd suggest going for betas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677847 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:18:51 +0000 winniebee 2677847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: Did you have your HCG levels tracked after your D&amp;C? Sometimes it can take a little while for HCG to totally leave your system (several weeks to a month), therefore there can be a delayed ovulation. I would get an FRER or have your HCG levels checked! :goodluck: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677839 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:06:24 +0000 FaithFertility 2677839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally see it!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677838 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:06:05 +0000 mrskansas 2677838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: I hope this is your rainbow baby! Definitely go get an FRER and I bet you'll have an awesome line :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677837 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:04:45 +0000 shellio 2677837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I am trying so hard to cut costs and was trying not to spend the extra $ on a FRER but now you're enabling me :silly: I usually don't obsess this much and for my first 3 pregnancies I stopped after one BFP but after the MC, plus now the varying results after 4 days of testing, I'm going crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677836 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:03:23 +0000 psw27 2677836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see it in the bottom pic and tuesday PM for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677835 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:02:28 +0000 shellio 2677835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: No clue... I had a D&amp;C on Dec 15 so I'll call that CD1, earliest BD was Dec 30/CD15, so if I O'd on CD15 I would have been 9dpo on Sunday when I got the BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677830 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 09:59:43 +0000 mrskansas 2677830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see it in the Tues pm and the bottom picture. How many DPO are you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677829 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 09:59:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2677829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was still 8-10DPO, I had much better luck with PM test (non FMU). So your Tuesday afternoon makes sense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677828 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 09:58:08 +0000 winniebee 2677828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see it perfectly clearly in Tuesday p.m. as well as the bottom picture (I see something in the others too but much less obvious). Internet cheapies are really bad about being consistent or getting darker. I would run and get an FRER. Also, for me, my afternoon or evening tests were always darker than my FMU! Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677826 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 09:52:39 +0000 shellio 2677826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I forgot pictures - </p> [attach=1520/17/ojmens.450x600.IMG_0261.JPG] [attach=1520/17/ojment.450x600.FullSizeRender-3.jpg] [attach=1520/17/ojmenu.600x450.IMG_0277.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-real#post-2677824 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 09:51:54 +0000 shellio 2677824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I took a cheapie on Sunday and it was clearly positive, not a dark line but by no means a squinter. I took a crappy photo (because my 5 year old was awake and I didn't want him to ask me about it) and threw it away. I assumed I'd get more :bfp: tests so I started to get excited! Then Monday morning, I took another cheapie from a new pack and it was maaaayyyybe a squinter. I was disappointed and also threw it away. Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, also maybe a squinter or evap, then Tuesday afternoon and this morning (Weds.) started to look slightly less squinty. I was thinking it was a bad lot, or maybe the first one on Sunday was a bad lot? But then I took another one today (no longer FMU) and got a definite positive on a totally different kind, but outside the time window. Here are the pictures, what do you think? Is this real or just evaps - and why was it so obviously positive on Sunday and then light again and now starting to appear?? (I think I just want reassurance after the MC.) </p>
