UPDATED 8/25 I got a positive result yesterday, negative this morning..

EDITED 8/25: Got my period this morning. And an AWFUL one at that.

I don't know WHY i got a blue line within 2 minutes. I will never ever buy that brand again...I think if it were a chemical pregnancy, I would still have tested positive 12 hours later which is when I took the EPT. It was either a really bad defective test ...or...I just don't know! The lady on the phone reassured me that the blue dye would not appear if the hormone wasn't detected.

All I can think is 'What if we had been trying for a very very long time and this happened??". I would be beyond devestated. We were so so excited on friday night thinking we were pregnant but because the line was only strong on the left side, I felt the need to confirm it. I am OK w/not being pregnant this month..there is so much going on in our lives that is crazy now, maybe it was meant to happen another time and I know the baby that is meant to be will happen when he/she is ready!!

Baby dust to all..thanks for reading my long update. After my experience I would not recommend anyone using the CVS early result. I still can't believe what happened!!







I just don't get it.

I wasn't planning on posting here at all, I was going to wait until I got a BFP just for my own reasons ...but I am so weirded out.

I tested yest. am with a generic of the First Response (it was CVS early result). I got a blue line within 2 mins and was very happy...

Retested this am with an EPT, which is what I got my BFP with my son...BFN.

I am guessing i am NOT pg and it was a fluke and a false positive yesterday but its so odd.

I am ok with not being PG but I wish I hadn't got that positive yesterday. DH was so happy last night, and then this am we were disappointed AND confused.

What do you think??

-I totally thought I was pg as my boobs hurt so so badly and I have face acne like I did with johnny...

False positives are very rare- however, false negatives are very common. I'm thinking it may just be that the first test was more sensitive. How many DPO are you? Also, was the second test a digital?

Re: I got a positive result yesterday, negative this morning..

About 13 DPO, period due tomorrow...and it wasn't a digital! It was a +/-

I am confused!!

Re: I got a positive result yesterday, negative this morning..

Well, I got a line on a FRER very early, then tested 2 days later with a different test and got a BFN- I was so upset. I waited another day or two and tried the second brand again, and BFP.

You wouldn't have gotten a BFP if you weren't pregnant- a positive means you have the hormone in your body (wouldn't happen if you weren't pregnant) so it seems like either a) you are pregnant or b) you are having a chemical. Why don't you see if you can grab a FRER today and see what comes up?

Lots of for you!

Re: I got a positive result yesterday, negative this morning..

I don't trust the blue-dye tests. I've read they have a higher rate of false positives (due to the dye bleeding). Try using a FRER tomorrow morning.

Heaps of to you!!!!

What about going to the doctor to be sure...

Re: I got a positive result yesterday, negative this morning..

since that first one was just an outline i'm thinking more and more that it was the dye running. it's so upsetting.

don't give up hope yet...test again tomorrow! i can't wait for another little niece or nephew!

Re: I got a positive result yesterday, negative this morning..

Re: I got a positive result yesterday, negative this morning..

I would test again in the morning (when the PG hormone is most potent) and followup with a bloodtest with your doctor if you can. Good luck to you and lots of babydust !

Sorry it wasn't as expected and that this was not your month it must have been very disappointing but it is great that you are having such a great attitude about this! As you say, baby will come when ready.
