    ok ladies i need some help...

    i tested on satrday with FMU at 9DPO...waited for a bit to see if something came up and nothing...walked away and came back about 5-7 minutes later and there was a second pink line...i kicked myself for throwing out my FMU so i could retest...tried again with SMU and BFN....tried again yesterday morning and again a BFN...what is up....i didnt test this morning..i was too scared too..HELP!!!! i unfortunatley dont have a picture to post to show...

    @MrsCastro: Ugh-- that's so frustrating! Coming back only 7 minutes later would make me think that it's a real positive. BUT! I pulled a dollar store test out of the garbage and there was a definite line 24 hours later (I checked it at 5 minutes and then the next day). I got all excited thinking maybe it was real but it was not, it was just an evap line, and the disappointment was double.
    What kind of test are you using? How many DPO are you? I think this is the time to break out the FRER and FMU tomorrow. If it is still negative, I would just assume that the line you saw was an evap line and you just have to wait it out until you get a BFP or AF.

    @Foodnerd81: I am 11DPO today...I used the "early pregnancy tests from earlypregnancytest.com" i have never seen a evap line on them before...and at that not a pink evap line...i wonder if it was just dye that didnt run its course, but it was a straight faint second pink line...

    @MrsCastro: I mean, it sounds like a positive, but I got my hopes up so high last week and then they totally crashed, so I don't want to do that to you! But also, mine was 24 hours old, yours was only like 15 minutes it sounds like. I guess all you can do is keep POASing.

    Argh! Why do I test early?!?! I wasn't going to POAS until Thursday but I caved this morning and tested at 10DPO...BFN of course, and now I am discouraged. Of course it's too early to know...many ladies don't get BFPs until 12 DPO or later. Why do I do this to myself?!?!

  13. Foodnerd81

    wonderful cherry / 21504 posts

    @kentuckygirl: I don't know why we do it to ourselves, but I'm breaking down and buying a pack of Wondfo tests on Amazon so I will feel less guilty about wasting a test when I do it!

  14. kentuckygirl

    pear / 1786 posts

    @MrsCastro: hoping for a BFP for you!!!

  15. kentuckygirl

    pear / 1786 posts

    @Foodnerd81: I do have the Wondfos and a back-up supply of FRERs and Digitals for whenever I see/imagine a faint line. It does help my wallet to use the Wondfo's but the dissapointment still hurts! Hoping we can both share a bunch of un-needed tests with other bees soon since we will have BFPs!

    While my temp is still up, it's on the decline, and I started spotting today, so I'm pretty sure I'm out. Hoping to steal a turkey in November!

  17. Foodnerd81

    wonderful cherry / 21504 posts

    @kentuckygirl: I was doing the dollar store ones anyway, and just bought a couple of FRER for when I think I see a line, but I think the Wondfos will be even better. And yes, I am totally hoping they turn out to be a waste of money since I get a BFP right away.

    @marionberry: I think the worst is when you are pretty sure you are out, with the spotting and temp going down, but you still have that little bit of hope hanging on when you know you should let it go. If it is AF, I hope she starts in full soon and at least lets you know for certain one way or the other!

    Gah, I keep trying to take my mind off of things but all I can think about is how I would LOVE to tell everyone at Thanksgiving that we are preggo!! We are buying a new car right before Thanksgiving, and we could put a 'Baby on Board' sign on it so that we can cutely announce it to our family when we show them the car.....of course...that means I'd need to get pregnant... sigh....one more week til I can test >.<

    wonderful olive / 19353 posts

    @kentuckygirl: when I got my first BFP (pre-m/c), I didn't get it until like 16 DPO. I think @Mrs Castro was the same as well! Mine were all BFN prior to that.

    @marionberry:Bummer dude!! Hope you have a turkey stuffer next month!

    @Bookworm: OMG! That's such a freakin cute idea!! Hoping you get your BFP next week!! I'm not testing till next week either and I'm getting ansy!

  20. Foodnerd81

    wonderful cherry / 21504 posts

    @Bookworm: That would be adorable! I had thoughts like that too, before AF showed, so now I am refusing to let myself think about telling people at Christmas. Even though it would be perfect if I got a BFP next month.

    @Bookwork: That is a really cute idea! I am totally in the same boat.. one more week! Trying not to overthink it but as everyone must know by now... IMPOSSIBLE!! haha

    Hi ladies,

    I'm late to the game, but hoping I can still join up for October. I just found HelloBee and am so excited! I was a Weddingbee junkie back when I was planning, so happy to be here now.

    My estimated O date: Positive OPK on Oct. 17. FF says Oct. 19 (I think, this is my first month using both, so who knows if I did it right!)

    POAS/AF date: 10/30 - 10/31

    TTC cycle: M/C 12/2011, 6th cycle this time around, but this is the first with charting and OPKs. Previously just tried to time it with cycle dates, then had a funky cycle last time, so decided to get serious

    Trying anything new this month: Just started exercising again, hoping that will help!

    I'm wishing luck to all the ladies who have yet to POAS and baby dust to all!

    99.9% sure I'm out. Starting sometime today or tomorrow. Maybe we will get lucky next month, like we did last time. And we have officially come to an entire year of trying......

    @JamieLee: welcome! Best of luck to you in TTC.

    @Jennimac: Noo! Did AF arrive?

    grapefruit / 4079 posts

    @jennimac: I'm sure a year feels discouraging. Im here if you need to chat! If I'm not pregnant this cycle I have one more shot before my due date. My biggest fear at the moment is not being at least pregnant when I should have been taking home a baby.

  36. singingbee

    pomelo / 5073 posts

    @ladybee: thanks. If you need I chat, let me know. Been there, passed that 'milestone'.

    @mrs. bird: pretty sure it will be this morning or tomorrow.

    @Jennimac: I'm sorry

    Guess I might as well call out also. Even my CBEFM gave up on me it doesn't want anymore sticks this cycle even though I never got a peak. Not sure why that bothers me, but it does. Maybe because I'm projecting my feeling of disappointment on to an inanimate object & allowing myself to feel rejected by it. Haha. Pity party for one, I have arrived!! It's cd37, but don't let that excite you, last cycle was 79 days and the one before that had to be induced by the dr at ~100days. Month 17 of not preventing, some months trying harder than others, but I'm still at 'I hope I O or get a period'. This month is harder than the others for some reason. I hope someone gets a BFP soon! We need some hope around here!

    wonderful olive / 19353 posts

    @Jennimac: Oh no!! I'm so sorry to hear you've hit the 1 year mark *big, big, hugs* What are your next steps? Are you going to see a Dr? a RE? I'm pretty close to approaching the one year mark also, and I'm so nervous/scared about that!

  40. Foodnerd81

    wonderful cherry / 21504 posts

    Ugh October wasn't such a great month around here! We have a hurricane coming up the east coast now, and you know you always hear about a baby boom 9 months after one of those, so fingers crossed that it leads to good luck to all of us!

    @MrsCastro: Any update from that tricky faint line/evap line?
