Faint positive turned out to be BFN
| Wed, 09-17-2003 - 11:57am |
Hi girls,
I posted last week regarding a faint positive on a FRE test. Well, I tested 2 days later on 14dpo and it was a BFN. I was really upset, since I was so hopeful this was finally it. I've been TTC for 13 months, and last cycle was my first one on Clomid. So I'm not sure what caused the faint line, whether it was a chemical pregnancy or it was due to the HCG shot (it was 14 days before I took the first FRE test). Does anyone have any idea?
So I'm onto my second cycle on Clomid. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is IT for me!!
Thanks for all your support!

Re: HCG Shots - I have heard not to test any sooner than 14DPO. The shot will leave residual HCG in your system for up to 14 days, enough to cause a false positive on a HPT. That probably explains your faint line at 12DPO.
Good luck to you!

Thanks for your response and the info on the HCG. I'm definitely not testing until 14 dpo now, maybe not til 15dpo just to be sure. I can't take much more of the disappointment.
I'm pulling for you to get your BFP on CC2! Good luck to you. Keep me updated.

I know there was a line. I had a faint line when I was preggo w/my son and that took 7 months never had a false pos while trying w/him. Dumb tests.
