Good Luck Amanda!

So I woke up this morning on 12dpo and said to myself, "Self, do you think seeing a BFN will put you in a depressed mood for the rest of the day?" And the answer was yes, yes it would. So for the first time ever I actually put the plastic wrapped HPT back in the drawer and I gotta say, it felt pretty good. Sometimes it's nice not to know. My temp was the exact same as it was for the last 3 days at 98.6 so I figure if that number doesn't go down in the next two days I shall test then. Unless tomorrow feels like a good day to be depressed lol.

hopefullll -
I'm impressed. Sometimes that urge is soooooo strong, but good for you. Hopefully when you DO decide to test it will be the result you want!

Good for you Amanda! I wish I'd have done the same. I'm not depressed...I get to be confused instead. I think I am have earned the title of "Queen of Evaps"...

This is what I got this morning. I doubt anyone will actually be able to see the second "line". It looks exactly the same as the two evaps I had last cycle.

At 10 minutes

At 90 minutes

I have one left, so I may try again tomorrow, I may wait.

Ack, I'm squinting like there's not tomorrow lol, I can't see anything but if it's super duper faint it wouldn't show in pics I don't think. But if you do see a line yourself then I'm gonna say, woo hoo! I have never had an evap line with FRER and I don't think they are known for it either. Have you read anything about evaps and FRER? I would run out and buy a digi if I were you. But then again, if they aren't as sensitive as FRER then don't do it because it'll just make you feel crappy. Oooh, I wish like heck I could see a line, i'm sure it's there. So here's what i think you should do lol, I think you should not drink any water. Get it from fruits and soup and stuff and then wait till your bladder is about to burst and then take another test lol. I've heard of other ladies doing this in hopes to mimic FMU. I dunno, just a silly idea but it might work lol

Also, I know it says not to, but maybe wait till it dries out a bit, like an hour or so. With my DS, I used FRER and tossed it in the garbage because I didn't see anything. Then hours later for kicks I picked up and saw the most ridiculously faint line in the world. Sure enough, the next day I took another and it was darker. So it can happen that way. See if you can get a better shot in a bit. Crossing fingers super tight!

I've definitely had evaps with frers. I had two just last cycle. The second pic I posted is after 90 minutes. The "line" is still there, but no darker, lol!

I'm not woohoo'ing anytime soon, hahaha! And believe it or not, I hadn't had anything at all to drink since 4pm yesterday. It was so concentrated it was cloudy. I plan on taking another dollar store later today to see if there is anything there. The one from this morning was pretty much negative.

I've only got the one frer left, so I'll probably use it tomorrow. If it's the same, I'll say I'm out.

Are the evaps coloured? I've only seen them with the cheapies from earlypregnancytests.com but to this day i'm not sure if they were evaps or early ending pregnancies(my doc seemed to think the latter).
Thats a good idea with the FMU lol. I usually drink water like a fish right up till bedtime so I'll try not drinking anything past 4 and maybe I'll test tomorrow. I also just read that progesteron suppositories can keep your temps high right up and sometimes past AF so that sucks for me. I think if tomorrow's temp is high, i'll test and if it's BFN I'll stop taking the progesterone.
You ever read the little info sheet that comes with FRER or Clearblue? It's a real kick in the butt and the main reason I didn't test this morning. It says that 2 days before expected period 97% of women who were pregnant tested positive. So basically, if I were to have tested negative there would only be a 3% chance that I could actually be pregnant. Eek, I didn't like reading that lol.
How can you tell evap from actually BFP? What I mean is, how would you know if it was an evap line and not a super early pregnancy? Even if the line doesn't get darker the next day it might still be a faint BFP that ended early. I only ask because I had that happen a few times and my doc put me on progesterone.

It's possible that it could be chemicals, though I've never had any issues with my progesterone before, so if it is, I don't think that's the cause. The line is pinkish in some lights, greyish in others. It's really way to light to tell. I am pretty sure the ones from last month were evaps, because I did two in the same day a couple hours apart, one had the faint line just like the day before and the other one didn't have even a hint of a line.

Any which way it turns out, I only have two more days to wait, lol!

I took another picture at 2 hours and played around with it a bit to see if I could tweak out the line. This is what I got.

My temp went up a little bit today, but I really didn't sleep well at all after about 3am, so who knows how accurate it is.

I see a very very faint line. Keeping my fingers crossed. Test again in a day our two. Good luck
