Hi ladies, so I bought some dollar tests today (just to make myself crazy) and the test says to read in 2 minutes. Well at two minutes there was a line but as the test dried it faded away! So confused. Has anyone heard of this happening before??

TSB- I have heard of evaps but haven't had experience with them. Not sure if this is the same thing or not. The only thing I see on tests month after month is stark white nothing. Praying you get your BFP! How many DPO are you again?

TCC- thanks.

TSB- Hang in there. If your that curious go and have dr. do blood work! If you see an RE they should get you right in and do the lab work. Just tell them you have gotten a faint line on a few tests.

Hi Ladies,

Team - hope you get your BFP soon. I haven't used dollar store test so I can't give you an idea. I did have ones that I thought were positive but dried stark white I figured it was just a dye run. I try not to use those tests anymore as they make me crazy.

TTC - I just stocked up on HPTs too. I'm not close to the end of my cycle yet but I want them on hand so I don't have to worry about using the bad ones that probably won't show anything even if you're pregnant.

NikkiN - Nothing I have ever done with these doctors has ever been the same day with the exception of an ultrasound. for tests I usually have to wait a few days to hear back which totally sucks.

AFM - I called DH after his appointment and asked him how it went. He said as good as I would imagine... which isn't great but at least it's done. DH did forget to ask how long it would take to get the results so who knows. I figure we can call in a few days and get the results. I think I'm going to try and book a follow up appointment to go over what our options are going forward.

Good luck to everyone getting close to testing

Margie- Good luck getting the results back. Have you had a Post coital test done? I am just curious because that is what lead us to having the SA done. Turns out my DHs sp was great, but my cm was killing it. The RE said I have a hostile environment....DH said haha story of my life! I actually went with him to his appointment (I find it easier to know things and ask the right questions if I go to. BUT I have to say I couldn't stop laughing after he came back out! He just looked so guilty! WE really make a big joke about it especially now that we decided to start doing IUIs.

Good luck to everyone testing soon! I know there are a lot of us.

Nikki- what do they do if u have hostile cm? IUI? Sometimes I think that could be our issue because I don't get much cm.

blc - That's what I thought. It felt like I had my O two days after the first solid smiley. However we BD every 2 out of 3 days so I'm not afraid that I missed it.
Should I just use dipsticks for the next cycle?

Atm desperately trying not to drive myself crazy. I notice every little flutter in my body and really not sure if I always had that and just didn't notice or if they're symptoms.

Team - maybe it's still too early. I've heard of people having really late positive tests, even had a friend that didn't get a positive until she was like almost 12 weeks pregnant, I saw the false negatives with my own eyes.. crazy!

Freckled - I'm trying really hard not to drive myself nuts too.

I'm having this strange really low, pressure it's not really crampy just feel something every once in a while, and my boobs are KILLING me and then all the sudden the quit hurting. OH and I cried watching hook last night... seriously that was a new one for me. And I read this really stupid, silly story the other day and I laughed so hard I cried. I have ONLY done that when I was pregnant...

Jesseyann - Sounds like pretty good preggo signs to me! What DPO are you?

freckled - Totally feel your pain. It's impossible not to obsess over every tiny little thing when ttc.

TSB - It sounds like an evap or just the dye taking a long time to make it through the test.

Still feeling crappy. CD11 and definitely starting to see fertile changes in my CM. Taking Mucinex for two reasons right now. :) BDed last night and hoping to BD tomorrow and Saturday at the least, maybe Friday too if we can find the time.

GL and Baby dust to all!!

TCC- Yes, my RE recommended based on the sp and post coital test results we go straight to IUI. This way the sp is deposited directly at the opening of the Fallopian tubes and doesn't need healthy cm to get there. Plus ALL of them get where they need to be so there is a greater chance there in itself!
