Ruined Two Tests!! Urgh!! Posted: 02-14-06 18:50pm
I am so mad!! I bought a clear blue test
today (i have already taken two with very
faint positives) and decided I would try
actually peeing on the stick instead of
dipping. Well...I ended up getting a drop
of pee right on the result window. The
entire window turned blue and then when
urine finally made it to the next window
(where it tells you if test worked) the
line barely showed up. I was sooo
frustrated!!!
So....I go buy another test. Lol! This
time I got a brand called ovu fem (they
were sold out of clear blue). I decided I
would get a sterile pee cup from the
pharmacy and try again while dipping this
time. Well...I guess I got too much urine
in the test because the urine came rushing
to the result window and again turned the
entire test window pink. When urine
reached the next window...Line clearly
showed up after a minute or so to say that
test worked. Urgh!!
I pulled both tests apart (i just had to
see how the color was dispersed). The
clear blue had a blue line at the start of
the test strip and then blue spread all
the way up to the result window and just
passed it. The other test was just pink
all over.
What I wonder is...Would any blue or pink
have shown up in the result window if it
hadn't picked up any pregnancy hormone? I
called the info number on the clear blue
package. She said that it was possible
that the dye had spread from the positive
result line...But it could have been from
the second window. Thing is...The urine
hadn't reached there yet.
I don't know!! I just am obsessing over
the idea of being preggo because of all my
symptoms and two previous not so clear
test results (on hpt). I'm so anxious to
get confirmation! My fiance even told me
to stop worrying...'cause he knows I am.
My bb's have grown and become "puffy".
Veins are visible on bb's when they
weren't before. I had posted most of this
before...But my af showed up 4 days late
and was light spotting for 1
day...Bleeding for 1...And 2 more days of
barely there spotting. I had cramps
through out and even a few days before.
I've been unusually fatigued. I used to
be up all night...Now I have a hard time
staying up later than 10....And I still
end up sleeping until 10 or 11 the next
morn. But for the most part even when I
try to sleep...I toss and turn and can
never get comfy! I could keep
going...Lol! But I fear this post has
turned into a novel. Yikes!!
Anyway...Thanks for listening and letting
me get out my frustration. I'm sure i'm
preggo...But I just wont allow myself to
get my hopes fully up until I get true
confirmation. I'm going to the doctors
next monday (20th) and will find out for
sure then. I just can't wait to
celebrate!!!! :)

If you've already taken two that came out
positive (faint or not), they're
positive!!!
All a faint line means is that hcg levels
are low. But they're there... Meaning
you're pregnant!!!
I swear by first response. Seriously.
If you're doubting, go buy a cheapo first
response. But honestly, if you got a
faint positive line in your first two
tests, that's definite indicator that you
are preg. =)
Lol yup faint lines still mean
positive...So congragulations!! :c)

Someone suggested first reposnse, thats
what I was gonna say. I took a two pack
of first response test and both were
bright positives that showed up as soon as
the urine ran across the stick. It didn't
matter the time of day either cause I took
it in the afternoon around 6

Any kind of positive is a positive. It's
darn hard to get a false positive.
Congratulations and welcome to the
club.... :lol:

Lol!! I guess one of the number one
reasons that I wasn't letting myself get
overly excited is that I have
endometriosis. This is when the presence
of endometrial tissue (tissue that
normally lines the uterus) is in abnormal
locations such as the ovaries, fallopian
tubes and abdominal cavity. It makes
conceiving much more difficult for some
and impossible for others. So I had
really started to believe that I might not
be able to have kids. My dh and I have
been using the pull out method for 7
years!! So it's hard to believe that we
were so effective at it for that long. I
had begun to wonder if dh was infertile
because he had chicken pox at the age of
16...Or if it were me. We only actually
started ttc in december....So it seems
like a such a long shot that i'd be preggo
so soon...But there you have it...I'm sure
I am. :)
thanks for all the support and
reassurance. I still can't believe that I
messed up both tests! My brain and my
co-ordination seems off these days. I'm
usually pretty sharp and now I can't seem
to even play monopoly with out getting
confused. Hehehe!

hi again oh_mommy! I pulled out my ttc
diary to give you more detail on that:
jan 22nd- af was due...Started having very
mild cramps.
Jan 24th-cramps more severe...Thought af
was here for sure but never showed up.
Even after intercourse...Which usually
starts af early if i'm about to begin.
Jan 25th- very mild light pink spotting
(only when wiping). Strong cramps.
Jan 26th-woke up with bleeding. (sorry
tmi...) blood very thin...Seemed almost
diluted. Very bright red almost neon.
Needed tampon on this day only.
Jan 27th-started day with heavy bleeding
and by bedtime it had tapered off to
nothing. Not even when wiping.
Jan 28th- no sign of bleeding or spotting
when I woke up. Then I started up again
for a couple hours and then by bedtime
only very tiny amount of light brown/pink
blood when wiping.
Jan 29th-woke up w/ no bleeding. Spotting
during the afternoon (very mild...Only
when wiping). Heavier spotting by
evening. By bedtime...Hardly any trace of
color when wiping.
Jan 30th-bleeding and spotting had stopped
completely.
There were .M.A.N.Y other symptoms...But
it would take a while to write them
all...And I don't want to subject y'all to
another one of my novels. Lol!This is
just a break down of my spotting and
bleeding as you had asked about. I hope
this helps. :)
thanks again everyone for all the
congrats!! I have already started taking
folic acid and am waiting for doctors
visit to have him tell me what other
prenatal vitamins I should be taking.
I've been taking all the needed
precautions...So I just can't wait to see
the doc. I will be 8 weeks by then...And
i'm waiting until after that appointment
to share the news with my family. For
now...At least I have you wonderful ladies
and my dh to obsess with over this. When
i'm not here...I can usually be found on
my couch reading books all about
pregnancy! Lol! I'm still making sure
that I keep active daily...But it just
seems to be harder to get myself
motivated. Or...To pull myself away from
my computer or my books. Lol!
Thanks again! I'll let everyone know what
happened at the doc's when I go monday!

***jan 24th-cramps more severe...Thought
af was here for sure but never showed up.
Even after intercourse...Which usually
starts af early if i'm about to begin.
I have this same thing when it gets "close
to af time" but we've been together 3-4
times & nothing...I will test friday
to see. Hope I get that double line :)
plus I agree with them a positive is a
positive. Congrats.
