Ok, I feel like I might be going a little crazy this cycle. FF has changed my O date 3 times, we ended up only bding once anywhere close to any of those dates and then (after 5 days of testing) I get what I think is a VERY faint positive (NOT FMU...just tested on a whim)
Based on the day I think I Oed (O pains, EWCM and OPK) I am 13 dpo but FF is now saying I'm 10 dpo so whatever. Also, based on when I think I Oed, I had a slight temp dip on 6 dpo. Implantation? I've also had VERY bad migraines the past week...to the point of sometimes getting 2 or even 3 in one day.
Just someone please tell me they see this too and it's not an evap line. The one on the bottom is the first one. We've been out shopping all day so that was the first time I had peed in a few hours. The one on the top is after I downed a glass of water just so I could test again. In person you can see a VERY, VERY faint line but I don't think it shows in the pics.
The second pic I used the PS Equalize auto adjustment and it seemed to show up better than the Inverted pic did.
Oh, and these are just the cheap ebay strips...I think I'm gonna go try it out on a opk just to see what happens. (If it is a bfp then I'll no longer have a use for them anyway!)
Thanks!

Thanks ladies!
Just tried an opk for kicks and it is positive...I've always wondered if that works :) Both lines are just as dark as the day I O.
I'll try another strip in the morning with fmu and then pick up a few different tests when we go to target tomorrow.
Hehe...yay!

Just wanted to let everyone know, I took a FRER test Sunday morning and got a pretty good BFP! (the first pic) I took another one yesterday and it was a little darker. (second pic) My ebay strips are showing darker lines now as well (although still pretty faint)
Today I went to the doctor and they've confirmed it and given us a due date of March 1st! (Although, all my tickers and FF are showing Feb 27 or 28th...we'll see what the u/s says)
Please send us sticky vibes! We're really optimistic about this one, but afraid to get our hopes up.
Good luck to all the ladies still TTC! Baby dust!!!

hi there, first of all congratulations! even from the first picture I thought it was looking good for you! I'm new to this board, so I'm wondering if you could clarify a few things.... first, when you say "equate" are you referring to the preg test at walmart which is supposedly more sensitive to lower hcg levels? and all of the abbreviations were confusing, but like I said, I'm new to this. Is there a place to go for a key to the abbreviations?
also, for your sticky stage, sounds silly but a few friends of mine swear by sticky foods... honey, syrup, jam, jelly, raisins-- whatever works.
best wishes and best of luck!

No, I think you're referring to when I said I used the PS Equalize auto adjustment on the second pic. It's a setting in PhotoShop (PS) that brings the colors out so you can see the BFP better. Some will Invert the colors (to make it look like a photo negative) and it makes it easier to see as well. Both of the first test are strips like these (http://www.babyhopes.com/products/generic-pregnancy-test-strips.html) that I bought from ebay. I wouldn't recommend them now after having to wait so long to get a good result from them.
The pics I posted yesterday were of the First Response Early Results (FRER) test from Walmart. I should've just used those to begin with.
There is an abbreviation thread somewhere around here...I'll see if I can find it. I know when I was new it was like reading a message in secret code, LOL
I don't care how crazy it sounds, I'll try anything to get this LO (little one) to stick! :) Thanks for the tips and good luck ttc (trying to conceive)!!!
