So I broke down and bought.. (UPDATED)

pregnancy tests. If some of you have read my posts on the infertility board you'll know that I see an RS and that I had an IUI almost 2 weeks ago. The RS told me not to do any home pregnancy tests and I promised DH that I wouldn't. He wanted to have the doctor tell us at my appointment on Monday if I am pregnant. Well, I just couldn't wait. So yesterday I did the test and I swear I saw a faint line. This morning I did a test and there was no line. I compared the two and there def. was a faint line there yesterday. My question is has this happened to anyone else where one test looks positive but then the next day test is negative? TIA.

UPDATE: I took another test this morning and got another faint line a tad darker than the one the other day. I told DH and asked him if he could see it and he said YES. I hope this is for real and that this one lasts. I will find out for sure on Monday. Deb, I never had to get the shot I O'd the night before the IUI.

Re: So I broke down and bought..

It didn't happen to me, but what brand tests are you using?

Re: So I broke down and bought..

First Response, because it says it can detect the hcg hormone 5 days earlier. I am not due for my period till Monday.

Re: So I broke down and bought..

I am not 100% sure but I think FRER can do that. I think other girls have said that.
I used to use Answer or Equate.
I hope that this is it for you

Re: So I broke down and bought..

unfortunately, yes...

with clearblue easy (regular and digital) i received a positive and then 4,5 days later a negative. i started spotting around the time i was supposed to get my period, and then it just disappeared so a few days later i tested. turns out it eventually showed up a week-week and a half late.

i refused to test early from that point on. i waited a week if i was late, tested, and then waited another week, tested - once both were positive i scheduled an appointment with my dr.

It hasn'tt happened to me but keep us posted!!! Baby Dust to you!!!

Re: So I broke down and bought..

I remember you saying that if you did not get a surge on your own, your doctor was going to give you a shot to induce ovulation. Did you ever get the shot? If so, that could be the culprit of the disappearing line.
The shot doctors use is an HCG shot. HCG is the same hormone used in pregnancy tests to determine if a woman is pregnant. I have had hte HCG shot before and it has take about 12 days for the shot to leave my body.
If you did not get the shot, then I would suggest you test again in a day or two, perhaps the second time you tested your urine was not as concentrated.
Best of luck to you!

Colleen,

I was just about to send you an FM to ask if you had any news. Sounds promising! GL on Monday! If you recall, I had the IUI a few days after you and I've been a testing queen and have gotten only BFNs (despite my HCG shot.) Considering you didn't get the HCG shot and are further along in your cycle than I am, I would say you are pg for sure! What types of symptoms are you having? GL!

Re: So I broke down and bought.. (UPDATED)
