I'm just trying to remind myself. It seems simple enough, I preach it to people almost everyday, then here I am just confusing myself all to hell.

I buy the internet cheapie tests off ebay. (I'm a poasaholic) And there cheap enough that I can take them as often as I like.

Well I took one this morning (not with fmu) and gave it about a minute. I saw a control line but no positive. So I just threw it away. I was talking with some of the girls on the getting pregnant forum. And One of the girls there got a faint line after the time frame. Well, about two girls popped up saying that they had never gotten an evap line on these tests (even after checking the next day). I have personally checked many tests after hours and even some the next day. There has never been a second line not even faint. So to prove my point I went back about an hour after I had taken it and there was a second line. Not a faint line a bold second line. Shocked So, I'm now trying to remind myself that it is an evap line and that the results aren't valid. I just kinda need to hear it from someone else.

i'm sorry, im not trying to get your hopes up, but my cousin had been trying to get pregnant for 5 years and she took test after test just like you, and she took one... and threw it away because it was negative and for some reason ended up checking back and looking at it and it was positive! and she was pregnant with triplets lol but they'd been doing invetro-stuff for a while, too.


sigh, im really not trying to get your hopes up, but i hope soethings happened.

Yup, that's what I'm going to do.

I have joked all along that I would get my bfp just before my bday. And tomorrow is my bday, so it would be so ironic if that happened. But I would be exstatic. I will just have to keep reminding myself until tomorrow.

The same thing happened to me with my first child. I checked the test a few minutes later and didn't see a line. I checked it about 30 minutes to an hour later and saw a bold line...I took two pregnancy tests after that the next day and I was pregnant.

A few years later (about a year ago) I did the same thing. I checked about 30 minutes later just to make sure I wasn't pregnant and I saw a faint line. I thought for sure I was pregnant. That ended up being an evaporation line. I was devastated.

Thanks guys. I really just need someone to tell me not to jump to conclusions. I already knew it, it just helps to hear it from someone else sometimes.

I think I would be devestated too if I really thought I was pregnant and it was an evap line.

Shocked .i really hope this is it for you, .christy! You have a lot more control than I do. I would have already tested again as well as tomorrow morning. Then again, seeing bfn's are really devastating. Sad

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

LOL... I would have tested again, except I am at work and I used the last test that was in my purse this morning. Laughing If I can hold it long enough I will test when I get home. But I can't seem to hold it longer than 1-2 hours at a time and that's when I'm trying. Laughing Actually, bfn dont bother me to much. I really never thought I had a chance. Now if I get one tomorrow I might be a little disappointed. But that is why I keep repeating to myself...this is to good to be true....this is to good to be true. I just hope it works!

The fact it's turned into a bold line is hopeful, any evap lines I've ever had have been pretty faint (hold up to the light in all angles kind of faint Laughing )

Good luck!!!

Is their an 800# you can call and ask? Can you afford to buy a better test or maybe go to the dr and get a blood test or just a regular test to know for sure? Did your hubby get a job? Have you been feeling okay? any pregnancy signs? It would be so great for you to find out that you are pregnant on your Birthday!
It would be great if Sarah is pregnant too!
Baby(sticky) dust to you .Christy, Sarah, Kia and whoever else wishes to be pregnant! I will keep my fingers crossed for you .Christy because #1, you are always willing to help others, just like .Sarah and #2 tomorrow is your birthday and what a great birthday present! #3 I feel you deserve a baby(I think you would be a great Mom)!

Yeah, I might go buy a digital test tonight. That way I wont have any room for guessing. I have already put a call in to my dr and am waiting for them to call back. If I'm not pregnant then I need to start my period so they will need to give me some provera.(blech) But if I am, I already have an appt on april 18th to check on the cyst and I've been taking prenatals for 5 months. So I'm good to go either way.


But it would be a good bday present. But then everyone would know. Not drinking would be a dead giveaway...."OH...I just don't want to drink on my 21st bday" Rolling Eyes
