Mother2onemonkey - could it be the time of day you are testing? I think that's what my issue was. At least I hope that's what it was. I had 2 BFP then a bunch of negatives and then a BFP yesterday. I was testing at different times of the day with different brands and getting different results.

I have sore boobs, but they aren't sore all the time. The soreness comes and goes. Right now they aren't sore, but this morning they were.

Hopefully our babies stay put!!!

Sorry Mother...that sucks.

Congrats to all the BFPs.

Shark week has begun for me, so I'm officially out and on to March.

Good luck to those waiting to test...I hope I don't see your names in next month's forum.

Hey ladies. Definitely a chemical by the looks. I can still make out a positive result but it's so light it's not funny, and I'm 14dpo. I'm now seeing regression on my tests :-( boo!

Not meant to be this round.

Still hoping for Feb 2017 baby since I already have Feb 2012 baby lol. 11 DPO so far negative. AF is due 15 DPO.

Emerald - I'm 12 dpo and I've had a positive at 7dpo, 8dpo and 10 dpo and have had negatives in between. I took one last night (11 dpo) and it was negative.

I've narrowed it down to brand and the time of day. AF isn't due until 9 or 10th, but I'm positive I ovulated early so I was thinking it'd probably come around the 6th.

The internet 10miu have all been negative and the dollar store ones have been negative, but the pharmacy brand ones have all been positive and show progress! I'm trying not to test every minute of every day. LOL

I have all the symptoms...sore boobs, flushed cheeks, tired, dull cramps and twinges....... I'm going to wait until Monday to test again with the same brand (and same time of day) that I got my BFP with and see if it's progressing.

[b]member_247576 - I had a chemical pregnancy last month so I know how you feel. I had one years ago when we first starting trying for a baby. I went on to have 3 babies afterwards! Are you testing at the same time of day with the same brand of test?

I decided to take a test this morning at 12dpo and although I can see a faint hint of a line, it's so faint it would never show in a picture.

I feel crushed!!!! This means I'm not progressing and this might be another chemical pregnancy....

:(

I'm not sure if there is any chance of a BFP getting fainter then getting dark afterwards...........

With raging PG symptoms (my uterus feels like it's expanding at a rapid rate and my boobs are almost untouchable, I had a light bulb moment......

I take a diuretic pill for slightly higher blood pressure.

I did lots research (some official, some not) and found out that these pills, also known as "water pills" dilute your urine and will affect a hpt AND will also affect a blood test! They dilute the amount of HGC in your urine and blood!!!!!

I did miss a pill this week which may have been why I got a stronger positive and then went to a very very faint one.

Although I'm far from being out of the woods, I have more confidence now and I'm going to STOP TESTING!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats ozcanuk01! Lots of baby dust to you!!!!

I am returning after 9 months away from this site... Taking a break! I am on CD 25 today with very very sore nipples and hurting boobs. I couldn't help but taking the cheap strip today and think see a faint line but I could be imagining. I scared to hope.... I might just get my period and all boob pain might reside.

Any such experience for anyone else? I would really appreciate any inputs!!!

Thanks y'all!

dsinha1011 - I have boob pain and I feel like my uterus is hard or swollen, and I have really flushed cheeks.......

No AF yet and my faint BFP that I got 7, 8 & 10dpo is now negative. I had a chemical pregnancy last month so I was hoping this would be our month but I'm so confused.

I don't track, but I had symptoms of ovulating quite early this cycle. I figured after the chemical pregnancy, things might be a bit messed up this time around. I started having symptoms so took a really early test, not expecting to see anything really and it was positive. Faint, but still a 2nd line!

I've done so much research and now I'm thinking that I didn't ovulate when I thought I did and maybe the hpt picked up the LH surge (the positive test came right around the end of when I "should" have ovulated. Lots of people will say it's impossible for a hpt to pick up a LH surge but there are lots of woman who say it happens to them.

I read an article written by a gyno that said it's not common, but it can happen. A very strong LH surge can give off a very faint positive hpt test.

So....Now I don't know. All I know is the symptoms I'm feeling are not normal AF symptoms for me. I have 3 children so I'm familiar with what pregnancy feels like and I feel like I'm pregnant! I think I'm around 16dpo (or 10 if I ovulated when I should have)

Time will tell I guess!
