Tests help, again......

Ok, I posted on a couple of boards yesterday, and wanted to give an update. Yesterday, I posted that I was having lots of pregnancy symptoms, this will be my third, and I have taken 7 tests. Here are the results: 7-8 dpos, very faint line with FRE, that faded. 9-10 dpos, an Answer and a FRE, but came up within two minutes, and the answer one is still visible, but very faint and light pink, the FRE is there but very, very faint. 11-12 dpos, took another Answer, and it was there within a minute, very faint but there. After an hour or so, it is definitely visible and pink. I was a little worried the day I took that which was yesterday, because my temp also, dipped, but still above cover, but now it's back up today, so my period is due tomorrow, and I went out an bought a FRE and an EPT, just to make sure I'm not gettin bogus tests, and the FRE showed a definite pink, but not as dark as the control line, within two minutes, and I used the same cup of urine, only held it for about an hour and a half, and it wasn't first morning, and the EPT is negative, possible a shadow of a pale line, forming which is now 30 minutes later. I feel pregnant, but I'm wondering if all these tests could be bogus and giving me so many false positives, after all they are getting darker, or is the EPT just not picking it up yet? Is there any hope, or am I fooling myself? TIA, we've been trying for 10 months, and I know I'm obsessing. Best of luck to all of you, Tressa

Congratulations!!! The lines are most likely accurate. EPT is not as sensitive a test as the FRE or Answer Early so you probably don't have enough hcg in your urine yet to get a line with it since AF isn't even late yet. Hope you have a wonderful pregnancy! ~~Kris~~

The shade of color the line is doesn't matter. One line can be darker than the other. I would say with all those positive lines, CONGRATS!!! And I don't say that often because I"m skeptical due to my own current situation.

Good luck with everything,

Thanks so much ladies for your help. The EPT did turn positive and I took another FRE this AM with FMU and it came up positive within a minute. It's still light, but a little darker than yesterday. My AF is due today, but my temps are very high, I am nauseous, and bad acne, so I'm taking it all as positive. I will call my clinic as soon as they open. Best of luck to you all and thanks again for being so helpful. Tressa
