I didn't realize this was a blue dye test when I bought it today at Safeway. Anyway, could this be positive? This is after drinking lots of coffee and water. I'm 13 DPO.
-
I kind of see a shadow but I know that those tests are notorious for evaps. I would also think that at 13 DPO, even with diluted urine, you could get at least a faint but visible line.
I'd take a FRER in the morning or tonight with a long hold!
-
I'd test again tomorrow
-
@mrskansas: Exactly.
-
@mrskansas: so, probably just a negative, right?
-
@CatchAFallingStar: If it were me, I would definitely prepare for AF to show up. But I'm pessimistic and try to never get my hopes up
-
@mrskansas: haha... yeah me too!! We are doing IUI next cycle, so I know there's hope moving forward. Just bought some FRER's though.
-
@CatchAFallingStar: I'm glad you have a plan for next cycle!
It makes me a much calmer person if I have a plan moving forward and at least feel like I'm doing *something*. -
@mrskansas: yes! We're going to use the same protocol we used with my daughter. Worked first time last time!

I see something but I don't know if that makes it positive. But you're not just seeing things!
-
I see something!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: I see SOMETHING! But I don't trust the blue dyes. Show us the FRER!
-
FRER was stark white. I had spotting on Saturday. Maybe implantation? If that's the case, maybe HCG just isn't very high yet? And I'm testing late afternoon. I don't know. Frustrating. Stupid Safeway test!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: I never tried the blue dye tests but my FRER were stark white when my cheapie WONDFOs were ever so faintly positive (happened three times). The FRER eventually turned positive but I didn't have the same success that most people talk about with the FRER. Also, I'd probably wait until your first morning urine if you can bear it....
-
I see something too. Fingers crossed!
-
Here's the same pic but added contrast. Would hat line be too thin to be real?
-
@CatchAFallingStar: I would do another 3-4 hour hold and try tonight.
I see the thin line and it could be real but with that much contrast it could just be the indent or shadow.
-
@CatchAFallingStar: maybe I see a little something??!
-
I hate those blue dye tests. I see what you see but I don't really think it's a positive line. At least not on this test. I would retest tomorrow.
-
I definitely see it. I look forward to your morning update!
-
Has anyone ever had a false positive with these blue dye tests? I'm confused by all the info I'm finding online. Is it common to have these faint/thin lines and not be pregnant?
-
Playing around with it. I know. I just need to test again tomorrow!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: anxious to see your update in the am!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: I just don't trust blue dye unless they are blaring positive.
today!
-
Unfortunately I've had bad luck with those same exact tests too. Mine looked the same as yours and was either a false pos or a chemical. I would follow up with a FRER or dollar store test.
-
@CatchAFallingStar: Let us know what you see this morning!
-
I'm having some spotting and passed a small clot this morning (very unusual for me). Not sure what's happening. Going in for a blood test this morning to be 100% sure. Ugh. What a bummer.
-
@CatchAFallingStar:
-
Don't use blue dye tests!! Ugh!
-
@CatchAFallingStar: Im sorry. Maybe it was a chemical.
-
Blue dye tests are pretty notorious for evap lines. Since you had to apply a bunch of filters to see anything, and the FRER was stark white, I think you can be confident it was negative. Since you're 14 dpo you're likely just starting your period. Some minor clotting isn't unusual so I wouldn't worry about it much unless you have large or painful to pass clots.
-
I just still can't believe this isn't real. After LOTS of research, I found that if the line is narrow and grey, it's an evap. If it's blue and shows up within 2 minutes, it's positive. Mine was blue and showed up within about a minute. What the heck?!
-
@Truth Bombs: yeah, you're probably right. I was always under the impression that "a line is a line" but, I guess not!! I could see the line in person but it didn't really show up on photos without filters.
-
@CatchAFallingStar: In my experience, if the line is concentrated on one side, like yours was, it's probably a false positive. If the line is light, but the regular thickness it's probably real. I had a blue dye test that looked just like yours and showed in the test period and I started my period the night after I took the test. I had a blood test that came back negative, so it was not a true positive.
-
@kiddosc: so frustrating
-
I'd rather see this than what I saw yesterday. My heart was so happy for the 10 minutes I thought it was real! Oh well, moving on now. Thank you all for your support.
