Retested: BF.....

......negative?

Argh I don't know

V V V faint line there agin...but I reckon it's the watermark or something. It didn't come up immediately, more like when the pink background started to fade..although within the time limit. If I wasn't charting then I'd be tempted to think I've just tested too early (I'm 12DPO), but my temps dropped slightly again today so I don't see how I could be pg if that's happening? Maybe one of you more experienced chart ladies could look at it for me and tell me what you think?  Also, my boobs don't feel as huge as they did, although they are still sore.

Arrgh. Had such a crap sleep, dreamed of testing all night then woke to such a disapointment.

Thanks Konagirl. My BBT has been beeping at me and flashing low bat so that might be a reason for lower temps...or it could just as easily be I"m not pg. The line is much clearer now but of course it's outside the 5 minute time limit so I"m picking I'm not pg. Damn.

If you are still using those strip tests I recommend going and getting a better quality test. I had several days of really faint ambiguous lines on the strip tests but got a more definite BFP on a Discover early result test.

I don't think you are out of the game yet. A couple of temp drops at this point are not definitive.

Remember also that the individual test strips may vary in sensitivity even if they are from the same batch. This means it is entirely possible to get a stronger line on 10dpo than on 11dpo.

Also I think the fact that when you test you keep getting some kind of faint line, when you usually don't could well be significant. It was for me.

I know how crazy making this is! Crossing my fingers for you.

If you can afford it perhaps buy a digital test that way you don't need to do any interpreting, staring at those coloured strips can make you go loopy. Also you can get false positives after the 5 min time limit so throw it away before 5 mins so you don't keep looking at it and driving yourself nuts.

The Discover test says you can use it any time of day because it has 'sensorflow technology" whatever that is(although I used it with FMU).

I have done a lot of reading on the internet about this and it seems that while you can definitely get false positives outside the 5 min window its quite common for women who are actually pregnant that have the test go positive after the 5 minutes. All this stuff is so crazy making because there are never any definite answers about anything.

I'm so hoping for you!!!!

the test this monring was very light, caould only just see it within the 5 minutes. Between 5-10 minutes it darkened more and obviously now is very very clear pink.

So who knows? Might not test ever again as it's driving me and no doubt all of you mad too lol

I'm more concerned about my temps dropping as a BFP doesn't seem to coincide with that very well

It is a dip stick- an internet brand. I have their OPKs and they're really good. The line is def pink, but so incrediably faint within the 5 minute time frame...then got a bit darker and now is dark as and as pink as. Grr. Think the BBT thing is what is most doing my head in, cos I just didn't think I could be pg and have my temp drop is all?!

The battery I was sent is also flat so might give up on temping for the moment. It's not like it's gonna change the outcome!!

So it sounds like I ned to buy a Discover dip test or a First response midstream?

Haha you're so pregnant worry wort!
All my faint BFPs with Kate got stronger after the 5 minutes. They were faint to start off with then got stronger over time- exactly like you've described

Jaxs- don't really know when AF is due...until I started charting I was a 28 day cycle gal. Then it went to 34, 32,...grrr I would say about 30-32 days. At day 29 now. Sunday will be 14 DPO according to FF.  Think I'll go buy another brand and maybe use my last internet HPT..... hmmmm....

If AF doesn't turn up by Monday I'll def go to the Dr. I keep expecting all my 'sypmtoms' to go away and AF to turn up!

Am trying to hold in my 2nd mu before I test haha

ok ladies well here's a link to the photo of the two tests. One on top is yesterday arvo's (can barely see it!) adn then this mornings. Was really hard to get a good photo adn they were both dry by the time I did it
