I took another wondfo this afternoon on a 5 hour hold and it was definitely negative. And I peeked back at the two this morning and they had faded and were harder to see than this morning. So two false positives in a row? Jeez. I'll just wait a fee days and see.

Didn't you have the same problem last cycle? I'd throw that batch out if I were you...

Yes! I searched the batch number to see if it was recalled but it wasn't.

The opks are working well for me I guess I should just throw out the hpts.

Are you using within the time frame for the test? Like once you check at the time recommended on the test do you look again after? If the test is supposed to be ready at 5 minutes and you're checking at 15 minutes you're setting yourself up for heartbreak

No, the second lines showed up within a minute and I stop looking by 5 minutes. It's not a blaring positive, but definitely visible. And this time it was two tests in a row. I feel like I might as well finish the tests since I have them and just wait a few days. I just won't buy any more and won't trust a result unless I confirm with FRER.

I don't get the wondfo love. Especially given that their hpts have had problems for years. I always preferred clinical guard. Plus they're usually cheaper on eBay than wondfos.

I'm definitely not married to wondfo, I just like the cheap combo pack with the opks. I'll check out clinical guard, is it a dropper test?

No, they're dip tests.

I have a test and confirm one I bought last month and never used. I'm going to hold my pee til this afternoon and try another wondfo. Wondfo burned me last month so I don't want to waste a FRER if its false positives. I'm nervous. If there's still another line at lunch I'll take the FRER tomorrow morning probably.

at 8 dpo, I'd stop wasting any tests. And I'm a little surprised so many are encouraging that early of testing.

Oh I feel ya. I was just under no impression that @cacophony, would actually not POAS tomorrow (especially after 2 potential +s) so I figured might as well get a good test to confirm since she had so many issues with the wondfos. I did think testing at 8dpo was way too early but TETO.

There have been multiple people on here who've gotten positives at 8 dpo so even though it's really early, I didn't think it was out of the question. Last month I was just give me all the things to pee on so I'm getting better. 😊

[veganontuesdays]

@cacophony, I get it. I get antsy at like 5dpo. No judgement here. I just hate seeing that negative test staring back at me.

[aprilz81]

And I thought I was bad when I start peeing on things at 10DPO when even that is considered early...

@cacophony, you do you, but testing that early means nothing because implantation has barely happened at that point, and possibly not even happened yet. You are literally peeing on money even if it is a cheap test.

I'll fess up, I got an 8dpo positive. But in my defence, I only tested that early because my temperature pattern was identcle to my two previous positive pregnancy charts and I made the connection prior to testing. Otherwise I would never test that early.

@cacophony I say pee on all things if it makes you happy! The first cycle ttc I was convinced I was pregnant and started testing everyday just to see how early it would be detected. I wasn't. Womp womp lol I am literally having the opposite problem af is late and still BFN. Af is a bitch.

I'm sorry. Hoping for the best for you.

[pippiann]

Thanks @cacophony! If the bitch isn't here tomorrow I will go get a FRER.

Cycle/month: 1 AL


CD/DPO: 18/2 (I think. If my temp stays up tomorrow then I'll have crosshairs to confirm.)


Timing: -4 -2 -1 0


Testing Plans: I'll probably start a week from today.


Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: *TW loss mentioned* After having a loss last month, I took a break from the boards because it was just too much. I'm feeling more like myself again and actually feel pretty good about this cycle. I even ovulated earlier than usual which was exciting. I'm a little nervous about what I might feel like if I don't get pregnant this cycle, but for now it's nice to feel hopeful.


QOTW: What's your favorite fast food establishment? I'm not much of a fast food eater, but I do love McDonald's breakfast.

@pineappleoranges, Thanks for posting this. I was looking at that yesterday when the conversation turned to early testing. I think the temptation is strong to pee on all the things, and it's helpful to give some perspective to the emotions that rule the TWW. Holding off is super hard but it probably makes sense most of the time.

This is why we say you shouldn't test too early. Before 10dpo you have a 65% chance of not getting a positive. If you're even pregnant.

HPT Accuracy DPO
10 dpo : 35%
11 dpo : 51%
12 dpo : 62%
13 dpo : 68%
14 dpo : 74%
15 dpo : 80%
16 dpo : 88%
17 dpo : 92%
18 dpo : 99%

Thanks for the percentages, however Yesterday I was 12 Dpo and af was due. I pretty sure we all try to hold out but it's easier said than done.

I tested this morning and it was very negative. So big PSA on wondfo! They can and probably will screw with your head. I know I'm still not out though so if no period I'll try Saturday.

ETA: thank you for thinking of me and checking up. 😊

You tagged @cacophony so you clearly knew that you weren't the poster in question. The original questsion was why was people testing at 8dpo and why others are encouraging it.

You then jumped in to say pee On all the things. I then provided the chart as to why we say wait until at least 10dpo.

Are you reading the same thread that I am reading?

Since you quoted me I read it as you referring to me poas. I understand why you shouldn't poas before 10dpo but it's def easier said than done.

That's good to know about the Wonfos! It sucks because I just bought a bunch, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't order some of the others listed by pp, jic. (Off to see if I can get them soon with my Amazon Prime)...

Well, I'm out today. CD 1, after the shortest cycle I've ever had.

@auri I'm sorry 😞

[Deleted]

Thanks. I wasn't expecting it since it's month 1 for me, but still a little disappointing.

[leekpartyof2]

@auri, last cycle was our first and like you, I wasn't expecting it but I was far more disappointed than I had anticipated. This second cycle is shaping up to be the same... It's a hard struggle to balance hope and reality. Hugs!

[veganontuesdays]

Hugs @auri!!

I think one of the reasons I'm not more disappointed is now I won't have a Christmas due date. I think I'm more upset about only having a 20 day cycle when I usually have a 30 day cycle.
