To feel hugely disappointed?

[Ticktock40]

I bought some crappy pregnancy tests on eBay ages ago and after months and months of secondary infertility I finally got that second line. I was over the moon. I made DH run to the chemist for some FRERs to double check and guess what... stark bloody white.

How fecking cruel? I don’t know why I even tested. AF isn’t due until Monday but I just had a good feeling.

We’ve just started down the IVF route and for a minute I thought we were being given a break.

Ugh. I want to drink wine but I’m on a quest to lose 2 stone so we’ll even be eligible for IVF.

That is really cruel. Good luck , I’ve been there and it’s hard work so I just wanted to wish you well x

Oh bless you @Ticktock40
Bin all the cheap crappy tests and try to stay strong and positive and hopefully things will happen for you 💫
It is cruel tho getting your hopes up I had some cheap fertility stick things years ago they were equally disappointing but hopefully you'll get some good news soon

I wouldn't be disappointed just yet, it's v.v early to test, even a FRER needs first morning urine! Send DP out again for another FRER and do it first thing in the morning. I think your wee may have been too diluted.

Thank you for your replies.

@Fivetoomany, it is early to test but surely if a the crappy one step test was truly positive, the FRER would’ve been too? Lots of googling has shown one step test are renowned for false positives too.

I hate false hope, and generally I have had good success with frers but I have had cheapies come out earlier than clear blues for example.
The fact that it goes across the whole width is good, and it looks like it has a bit of colour? also good. The bleeding of colour along the edge isn't so good though. Keep going and get your oh to do one if they keep looking positive.
Weirder things have happened.
