    HCG levels - using a couple of hours old FMU

    Hi
    My FMU was at about 4.30am so I stored it for testing later. I used Pregnosis about 2 hours later and then tried Crystal Clear about 6 hours later. But I noticed on the box it said the wee must be fresh. Can HCG levels change in a jar stored for a few hours? Going a bit nutty as I am 15 dpo and the lines are REALLY faint.
    Thanks

    i just used a pregnosis test too and another extremely faint line it was fresh urine and i would be about 8dpo i thought surely it woould show up by now if i was UTD especially with a test that says they can detect early

    sorry im not much help but im in a similiar situation

    Hi Mizqtie - at 8dpo that's a GREAT result. Many people don't bother testing until around 10dpo. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BFP!!
    I'm a week further along than you. The Pregnosis result for me was better today than yesterday, but the Crystal Clear one has now completely faded to zippo! Will be up and at'em again doing it all over in the morning....

    When I tested with this baby the line was so faint that I thought I was seeing things and threw the test out lol. I tested again the next day and the same very faint line was there but you had to angle it right to see it. Again I wasn't sure but here I am now nearly 34 weeks down the track. They always say a line is a line so test again and if it's still there then yep you are UTD

    Ive looked into this aswell. From what Ive read the HCG amount in the urine doesnt change even though it has been sitting there for hours. Only thing i would do is proably mix it a little to make sure none of the HCG sinks to the bottom... hahahaha is that even possible. Oh i was just way too obsessed!! Good luck hun xx

    MM - I love your theory about the HCG falling to the bottom!
    KimB - how far along were you when you got the faint lines?

    Mizqtie - I used the one that said pregnant/not pregnant 2 days before my period was due and it said not pregnant - 2 days after my period was due (so 4 days later) I got a pregnant - they say that u need to wait until after your period is due because of false positives - lots of people actually conceive without it sticking, so thats why they say to wait until after your periods is due. I think I read that its due on Sunday? Maybe wait until Monday and see what happens. Waiting is hard, I know! But its better than building yourself up for something! Good luck xo

    There is a line there but it looks like an evap line to me. Sorry to put a dampner on things. I really hope its a BFP for you! (if thats what you want) xoxoxox

    With the digital tests I found that I always got a faint line on the catridge even though I was not pregnant. I think it has something to do with the design of them.

    Either way I hope you get the result you want.

    I think I was about 10 or 11 DPO when I tested with this one.
