September 2WW!!

Just wanted to let you ladies know that the First Response Digital Ovulation tests SUCK.

I sent DH to the store to get more digitals, but they were out of my regular CBE with the smileys, so he got the FR instead.
You have to start using them on "day 5 of your period or spotting." AND they have to be used within 30 days from opening.
"Do not start if past DAY 5; wait until next cycle." :(
That's fine for NEXT month, but I want to know about RIGHT NOW. UGH!


ETA:
They actually say "This test cannot be used for contraception (birth control) or gender selection." LOL. Seriously?

They must remember each days results and giv you a positive based on your own baseline .
Tests like that always gave me a lot of false positives ugh

I'm glad to know that, Spinning...
I talked him into returning them to Walmart. They're doing me no good right now and if I do end up getting pregnant this month, that's $42 bucks down the drain.
Now I don't have any though, so tomorrow I guess I'll be heading to Target!!

I hope the confusion and chaos of this month pays off big in the end and is worth it. I'm just so tired.

I'll say a prayer for you! I'm hoping you ovulated already and you get a surprise BFP!

Aww...thanks Spinning!!! That means so much!!! ♥

Last night... at 8dpo... I found one cheapie I forgot about and in a moment of madness, I used it! Sheesh, I'm a crazy person because now I'll have to buy more.

However, a very faint line appeared pretty instantly. The past cycles when I thought I saw something, I really had to stare really hard and likely making it up. I can see this one without trying, though it's still light. But it makes me hopeful...

We'll see. Not getting my hopes up but it was mildly convincing, especially at night with non-FMU at 8dpo...

Surgena: If it's a pink line of any shade, then it's a BFP!!! Congrats!

BEadin: so frustrating about the OPKs. Those instructions make no sense at all. Hope the EWCM means you are going to O finally. How frustrating. I have really long and irregular cycles so I know how you feel.

Beadin - thinking of you hun ! Hope this one is the month for you xo There HAS to be a happy ending to the crappy times you've just gone through, and that happy end should be a BFP! Where there is hope, there is life, and thats where miracles happen :)

Suregena, sounds promising, wait till 10DPO if you can and use a FRER with FMU.

on 2 of them i can certainly see something!! Apparantly the trick is to invert the photo, and that makes it show up fluorescent green so its easier to show up, apparently only real lines (i.e., not evap lines) show up. I'd do it for you but have no photo editing software, perhaps one of the other girls does..

hope this is it for you - this month seems to be the month for long timers to get their BFP, i got mine, cinns got hers, i think shell has been trying for a few months swell and she got a bfp this month too
