3 twp's on 9dpo or evaps - what do you think?

[rosieposey]

Hi,

I tested yesterday and got a really pink streaky twp (teeny weeny positive) at 8dpo, tested again this morning and was nothing (however i do get up to pee during the night) anyway i held on for 6-7 hours today and did one when i got home from shopping and it was really a super concentrated sample and got a postive of the IC i used but did a superdrug one as backup and it was negative.

I have had evaps before as ive been ttc for about 9 months now and its usually when the background of the test goes pink and streaky but i still had the sample so i dipped a couple more IC's in and they both came up with a twp too. One of them was again quite pink and streaky but i think this is due to the sample being so strong but the last one is a fairly clearish faint pink line. I have uploaded the photos - unfortunately im not sure you can see them in the the pics because the photo isnt very big but they are there on each of them.

Because im such a terrible poas addict and have no patience whatsoever i did another sample about half an hour later and it was negative. Im not really sure what to think - i dont think you would get three lines that were evaps off the same sample (i could understand if it was one as ive had this happen a couple of times in the last few months and its really disappointing) and maybe the last one i did the sample was probably not strong enough ... i dunno, well actually i do, ill have to wait till tomorrow or the day after i know but im just so impatient to know!

Ohh Toto really? I hope she gets a better one today.

Hmmm i think i might have jumped the gun a bit with testing so early. Did another test last night and this morning and both are neg :( soooo i think its proably a chemical - had one of these at the beginning of the year too and exactly the same happened (although not quite so many positives and strong lines) hcg is supposed to be going up and by today i would have expected nice strong lines but nothing, nada. Tis the perils of testing too early but i just cant help myself!

Its a good job these tests are so cheap because the likelihood is ill be at it again next month.

oh nooooooooo bad news! Like you say..[perils of early testing, but you know you will be at it again next month regardless. Ah I am really sorry to hear that though! It was looking so good! :(

Yeah it was, am gutted tbh, was pg for three days but not a single positive test today (or most of yesterday either) Like you say ill probably be at it again next month! Think it means that af will be a bit late too as the last time i had a chemical pg it threw my cycle a bit - fingers crossed it will be here soon though.

rosie:please put the sticks in the bin. how can you put yourself through that on a monthly basis, i dont understand. poas to determine ovulation is different, but hpts, and early ones at that! come on girl, who needs that on top of everything else. you are a sucker for punishment, thats the only thing i can say to you! xx

Im just really impatient, i found out early with DS and i really wanted to know this time, its put me off a bit though now - will see how i feel this time next month but i have no desire to buy anymore for the time being.

Well if you can help yourself then dont ..each negative hpt would break my heart but eventually you will get there I am sure! The thing about chemical pregnancy is women who are not testing are having them all the time and at least it means you are getting pregnant. As soon as a healthy embryo is conceived you will get those positives the whole time! I do wish you the best of luck I know TTC is very draining but just keep charting those temps. Good Luck.

Will do Nicky, thanks :)
