hmm i guess it is a BFP (BIG FAT POSITIVE)-->
*look at me using all these TTC,Pregnancy, Mommies forum's abbreviation...
spend sum time reading these forums to research whether can u get a BFP without being pregnant? they have a thread for people to post their HPT pictures.... and some people have fainter line (barely a line even)than me... but people are saying its a BFP..... well, i guess u can call my BIG FAT GIANT LINES coz its so clear..

Also i have theory what happened last month.... i pee-d on a stick... there were no results.. its a cheapie ... 1.5 buck.... even the control lines werent even showing... screw it... 1.5 bucks down the drain... but after 10 mins.. the control line showed.. and the test line showed blurry color... not sure if u can even call it a linee...i thought it was a positive... but too late in the nite to buy a new HPT.. also too broke... so waited till the day after... dragged my husband to pharmacy and bought an EPT box.. able to test up to 3 days earlier... and there were 2 tests in the box.. and tested... negetive..... 2 days later AF came to town..

now i now.. what the blurry lines were with the cheapie.. its called an evap line.. (learned that from the forum).. its reading the test not immediately.. but after stuff has evap and shows false results...

this month.. i used the other EPT (there were 2 in the box).. that result shown in the previous entry... its obviously a positive... coz it showed negetive last month.... so i deducted that it wont show positive if its a negetive like last month.. but still scarred to believe .....

last nite i used a normal HPT, not EPT... my period was due yesterday... i should have waited till today.. this morning for good result... why morning? because u collect urine while sleeping... easier to detect HCG... and HPT can only detect HCG level high enough, (after period due).. (HPT is not sensitif like EPT which can detect lower levels of HCG)... anyways eventhough I used diluted urine (evening after peeing a lot of time).. and tested the EPT on the day AF was due... it still showed positive.... so i guess i can safely say its a BFP... but still apprehensive that i can have a chemical pregnancy... which means EPT shows postive but the embryo is unsuccessful to latch on the wall of the uterus.. and goes out with AF...
basically a very early miscarriage that wont usually even know... unless u test before AF is due...


whatever it is.. just have to wait and see.. and freak out later when i'm sure there is something to freak out about...
