It's me again :)

So, I am confused... and nervous and could do with even more advice!

I posted pics yesterday of two tests I took yesterday. Both showed faint lines (which appeared within the alloted time of the test). People seemed to be able to see those lines and thus my DH and I were affirmed in what we had seen. But in the early hours of this morning I took a digital test and got a BFN. boo.

So, this morning - very early still - I took another test and it again showed a line. This time it was darker and I didn't need to squint. Indeed both DH and I can see it from far away... So I'm terribly confused and a little scared that three tests are incorrect. While the tests are the same brand (target generic version of First Response) I bought them at different times in different states... which makes me think that surely they cannot all be faulty. I used the same tests last cycle and they were definite BFN.

My temps also are looking okay, I think.. But I would love feedback. FF indicates a possible triasphic (sp?) shift around CD 22 (8dpo). Since this is my first month temping I'm not sure if this is unusual for me.. I attached another pic or two of the test this morning. It's bright and sunny in the room I took it so it may not show up as well as it does in real time.

mercy, this is just so stressful!!

I agree with Steph! They look like a positive to me!

Hi...It definitely looks like a line. As far as the digital goes....You could still be too early for a digital to pick up. I have heard that the digitals need to have a higher HCG levels....Since you are getting faint lines on several different tests, you have no reason to believe they are false positives, unless you have been taking fertility drugs, or recently had a miscarriage. Wait a few more days and then try the digital.

I def. see a line on that last pic! I was in the same boat when I took a test, so I bought a digital and there was no question I was pregnant since it came up in less than a minute. I would take a digital if I were you to eliminate some of the fear of these being false. Congrats!

Thanks, everyone!!

I took another test today - the old blue type just to get rid of them - and the line was pretty dark. That's five positive tests :) A little obsessive, perhaps?

I am, though, too scared to take another digital and will take it on Wed or Thurs (AF is due Thurs). I checked out the Clearblue website and it says there that digital tests can detect 3 days prior to period in 52% of women. In the box it says 4 days before.. Since I took it in the early hours of Sunday morning (around 1am) I am hopeful that it was just too soon. Both the First Response and the target brands can't be wrong, right?

I just emailed my friend/PCP asking when I can come in for blood work.. as I'd just really like to have official confirmation!!

Thanks, really. Your affirmations really have helped.

With gratitude,

Zubee

they look like positives to me :) Hope you'll have a sticky bean :) Having a blood test is an excellent move.

Thanks, everyone! I saw the sport's doc today and he prescribed antenatal vits and a blood test.. I'm nervous! My PCP/friend called me a moment ago to tell me to stop testing as I am driving myself crazy :) She's going to call me this evening or tomorrow with the results.

I am being super cautious about letting myself get too excited. I know the MC rate is quite high.

Sticky beans all around, I hope!

No reason not be excited. I know you hear a lot about m/c but there is no reason to think that will happen to you!! Be happy! Yay!

Thanks, Charlene, and everyone else.
