Testing Plans:. I caved and tested yesterday and today. Yes, I know this is the equivalent of peeing on money and throwing it away.
RRCS: I'm going crazy. I keep looking at my chart thinking, "Gee, this sure looks like the chart of a pregnant person." And I'm symptom spotting like crazy. The fact that my temps keep climbing is a good sign, right?? No PMS signs, which should be here by now, but I had some weird, left side cramping for like an hour yesterday.
GTKY: Who is your favorite celebrity? Jennifer Aniston. She's had my heart since Friends.
RRCS: my temp seems to have risen again, but yesterday was dst and today my alarm didn't go off. I'm not sure what to think :S. Here's a link if anyone feels like taking a look :http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/576971
GTKY: Who is your favorite celebrity? I am a huge fan of Yanick Bison, and Johnny Harris. I love murdoch mysteries, it is one of my must watch when it airs shows.
Testing Plans: So about that. Tested on Saturday(10dpo) and got a super light squinter. Tested again yesterday and no line plus I started bleeding. I figured I just imagined the line on Saturday. This morning I took my temp and it is very high. So I get up and I am still bleeding but not a ton. So I take another test this morning and a faint second line shows up. I'm still bleeding though.
RRCS: I'm assuming at this point that it is a chemical. I don't know what to think. I will call my doctor when the office opens and see what they say.

doodler, by chance did you use the new style of FRER? I hear they're notorious for false positives. Like..to the point that I would probably never use one. Whatever the case, I'm sorry

Seriously?! So no blue dyes, and now no FRER's. Wondfo's it is I guess.
But anyway, yes, both positives were on the new FRER's. At this point I don't know if I should just wait it out or call the doc this morning. I feel like they will just think I am crazy for testing too early.
RRCS: I got nothin'. I really haven't been thinking about it much. I think the new meds my PMDD doctor gave me are helping. My chart looks nice, I guess. LINK to chart At this point, I'm just assuming my period will start sometime Saturday-Monday.
GTKY: Who is your favorite celebrity? Hmmmm... young Harrison Ford. Just something about him.

I think Parenting used them to test Coke & Pepsi. One of the soda's was indeed pregnant. If you read the Amazon reviews there are a lot of women there claiming false positives as well. This is all anecdotal, but enough to make me steer clear.

@doodler I'm sorry to hear about that. How much bleeding are you having? If it is just spotting it could mean nothing. If your urine was more dilute it could account for the negative. I'm not trying to give false hope or anything just bouncing around ideas. I would retest with a different kind of stick and see what happens. GL!
akraus2015 I am no help for your crazy - that is a beautiful chart.
Cycle/Month: 1
CD/DPO: 26/6
Timing:O-3 through O
Testing Plans: Saturday at 11dpo
RRCS:Rave: my temp soared. I know it means nothing. dont curr. lol Rant: My fucking doctors office cancelled my appointment. I already have a supply teacher booked and cannot cancel (aka I just lost a half a sick day). I only have 1 pill left (SSRI so I can't miss a day) so I NEED to see someone today, and the only other person I can see is an RN who is only available in the am. So I needed to find a supply for the morning asap, make insta-supply plans, and drive back to see an RN who has never seen me before. Plus I drove 2 hours to and from work for no reason, and now have to take a full sick day for a 15 minute appointment. The kicker? My doc forgot her son had an appt today and that is why she can't take me. FFS people, my time is valuable too. ETA: this is the second time this has happened.
GTKY: Who is your favorite celebrity? I really like Jennifer Lawrence, Ellen Degeneres, and Jeremy Renner.
doodler, I hope you get some answers soon. Ray, I'm sorry your appt. was cancelled. icaughtfire, high five for amazing sex...that always puts me in a good mood!
Thanks guys. So I called and spoke to the triage nurse and she said that they have been seeing false positives with the new FRER's too. If you have them.....THROW THEM AWAY. I'm serious. My line this morning was an actual line. Faint, but I've had two pregnancies and I have seen my share of negative and positive tests. It was a pink line.
Anyway, I just ran out and bought a different test. I am too anxious right now so I didn't even think about holding it for a few hours. Took it just now and it was negative. The nurse is waiting to hear from the doctor(she is at the hospital) and will call me back if the doctor wants me to come in for a blood draw.
I'm just moving forward with the assumption that the FRER's were false positives and I'm not pregnant. That's really all I can do at this point. I'm sorry for all of my craziness this morning!
I'm so sorry that those stupid tests caused you so much anxiety, doodler. I read a bunch of amazon reviews, and they all seem to say the same thing lately.

doodler - I believe if you buy a "Test and Confirm" box from First Response it still comes with an old version FRER. But it also comes with a Digital so it's a bit pricier. Sorry for the false positives.

butlerfan, so sorry you're having a shitty day! Go home and have 5 glasses of wine: one for impending CD1, one for your team losing, one for no sleep (you'll be super sleepy by then), one for the headache (which should be gone by glass #4), and one for Monday (which will disappear after you pass out from 5 glasses of wine).

My spot with the RN ended up going really well for the most part but when I brought up possibly testing progesterone he kind of dismissed and literally told me to "relax a bit and see if it happens". Cue mouth agape.
So sorry, @doodler , sounds so incredibly frustrating. akraus2015 I'm nowhere near an expert but I'll just chime in to say your chart looks beautiful.
Cycle/Month: 3/4
CD/DPO: CD 25, DPO 8 or 2 or ??
Timing: good or medium or ??
Testing plans: BFN this morning, testing again tomorrow because I have a dr's appt and things are being weird.
RRCS: So I was pleasantly surprised to have ovulated (according to my temps and other signs) because I was getting ready for another two-month cycle, but it is very unclear when ovulation occurred, or indeed if it's just on its way still. Today's my third day of blazing positive OPK's in a row, which followed a bunch of negatives but a CBE digital advanced 'peak' on CD16. So confused. I guess this along with my recent long cycles means PCOS... Looking forward to some answers soon, hopefully.

Are you temping? If not, I definitely recommend trying that next cycle.
With 3 days of positive OPKs, I think it's probably unlikely that you're 8dpo. But I hope you get some answers, at least.
doodler - sorry for the fake out. Those new FRERs suck! butlerfan - sorry for the crappy day.
Cycle/Month: 13/13 CD/DPO: 20/3 Timing: -2 only Test Plans: 11/11 if my temp stays up.
R/R/CS: Stupid body jumped the gun on me this cycle. I hadn't gotten a totally positive OPK yet, though I got a nearly positive one on Friday. I assumed my temp jump on Saturday was because I stayed up late, was drinking, and ended up taking it 2 hours later than normal. Chalked Sunday's higher temp up to DST. And then this morning... totally normal night, totally normal temping, but still high. It's weird. OPKs are straight up stark white negatives the last two days, but the EWCM is still in full force.
For now, I'll assume the cross hairs are right and just keep truckin'. Wish we'd gotten a few more times in, but oh well.

Thanks... Yup, I am temping, but it's very unclear this month. FF says 8dpo right now, but if I discard one of the temps (which I didn't trust because I'd been lying awake for a while), it changes to no O detected. But I'm almost sure I'm at least 2 DPO, which tomorrow's temp should confirm. The multiple OPKs don't help either of those interpretations so... just gotta be patient and see what happens.
