Remember all different makes of OPK test at a different level of HCG, and you can always get a false +ve but I don't think there is such a thing as a false -ve (I am sure I have been told that!!)
Also, remember that if your urine is quite diluted when you test it may not show up this time (didya wee in the night/early morning??) , also I would think a faint second line immediately is a good sign even if it did vanish afterwards.
If it helps (I know it doesn't!!), there are shed loads of us that would have (and do) test as early as you did, I know I would have done (ask my DH, we had several tubes of 50 LH & OPKs sat around at any one time )
I once tested 5 times a day for a whole week when we were camping in France because I was paranoid only me could see the very faint line (and yes, I was pregnant!!) - I have also used my OPK sticks at the 'wrong' times because I have convinced myself I am Oing!!! I am expensive when TTC!!
Sending you , remember others have said they saw the line too!!!
Keep us posted, crossing everything for you
Love Alex xxxxx
Oh SP - I am so sorry to hear about your OB appointment. That is awful. Soooo much waiting - I know exactly how you feel. I started TTC in Aug last year too, and have nothing but loss to show for it. Sometimes it is just not fair and it is time something went right. Did he say that you can't TTC this cycle, or just that it is unlikely you would get pg? Looking at your chart, it doesn't look like you have O'ed yet, so you are not pg. Would he consider giving you the drug now anyway, if you can convince him that you have definitely not O'ed yet? The waiting is just awful, and I don't think they understand that sometimes. I am thinking of you
Sharon - The lines often vary in darkness and it is v possible to get a false negative, so don't lose hope yet. I know the waiting game is awful, I have been there, but we are all thinking of you and hoping it will turn out to be a sticky one.
Janeo - good luck with the testing and with choosing your engagement ring. I got a bezel setting too - the other good thing about that is less chance of the diamond falling out! It would be great to announce your pg at your engagement party! I am trying with the positive thinking but sometimes I just can't manage it, I get so caught up in all that has happened and start to lose hope about it all. Anyway, I will keep trying.
Jen- yay on O'ing! It's great to finally see a pattern in all the dots when you first start charting. Best of luck!
belinda - I do hope there is good luck on the way for us. We deserve it!!
megsmum - you are doing everything right, so don't worry! It is lovely having you here.
Bun - how frustrating that they want to test when they think is right. It took me ages to get mine to realise I don't do anything before Day 16 at least! Hang in there hun!
Sharon19270 - Don't lose hope yet! I could definately see that 2nd line on the other test! Hopefully it's just the different test giving the different result. Don't lose hope yet.
Megsmum - yay on your DD using the toilet!! It's such an exciting time, isn't it! DS TT recently and it's such a proud feeling seeing them use the toilet, although a little sad now that my baby is no longer in nappies
Lalla - hi and welcome! I m/c nearly 4 weeks ago too, I'm so sorry for your loss. You would have had the D&C done by now if you needed it. It's just your body slowly returning back to pre-pregnancy state...HTH!
Leyla - thanks We don't over BD as DH has MF...so doing it too much is useless as his best swimmers are in the first one or two goes (sorry, TMI!!). That's why we do ICSI cycles...but we thought we might just get lucky, he's been taking some zinc to try and help! Vitex is great for regulating cycles and I've heard it's great for increasing fertility. I think you can get it from a naturopath. Good luck!
Salt - big hugs sweetie xx You must be so incredibly frustrated I hope this sorts things out once and for all.
Belinda - That is all so true!! When we did a natural FET last year, they kept telling me a faint 2nd line doesn't count, we got to a point where we stopped getting that 2nd line and missed transfer...I was so mad! I think a strong 2nd line should be enough indication!
Jen - good luck with your TWW! Sending you lots of sticky vibes!
Janeo - Good luck with your test!!! And shopping for your ring, it sounds like it will be beautiful!!!
Hi to everyone else
I 'think' I'm technically 8dpo, feeling a bit crampy, so not expecting anything really, we've never concieved without AC so would be crazy for me to think it would happen now. Just thinking about my FS appointment in a couple of weeks and planning for another FET when AF comes in May......and desperately trying to lose a few kilos between now and then!!
Thank you so much everyone for your words of encouragement it means a lot to me, but if I turn out to not be pg this time I will NEVER test early again (remind of this if I happen to be trying again next cycle).
Bron81 thank you for posting about what happened to you makes me feel a little more confident, it just shocked the S**t out of me to see NO second line when I thought it would have at least been the same, I did read up on the internet though that tests (even from same box) can detect different levels of HCG so maybe the one I used yesterday was one of the ones that was super duper sensitive. Bun I know it is possible to get a false -ve just think it would happen after getting a +ve saltprincess good luck for when you see your regular Ob on the 26th. I have plenty of washing and housework that is supposed to be keeping me busy but I just can't get into it I HATE playing the waiting game (just like everyone else) I am such an impatient person (something my kids get from me unfortunately) *las* thanks I don't plan on losing hope until AF arrives.
