re: Official Line Spotting Thread pt.3

Yup. lol It can cause it to return early, and yes be messed up all at once. You had the spotting yesterday correct?? You could possibly get a line on a test tomorrow if it was, in fact, IB. But my guess would be cycles beginning their return. You could spot for a few months before it fully shows back up.

Okay, I am on Paragard. I had a period which ended 9 days ago. It was heavy (like normal) and had severe cramping (like normal). Except the cramping lasted the entire period instead of just the first couple days. I've been getting random nausea, headaches everyday, gained around 3-4 lbs, and had a really sore pelvis and cramping in my abdomen since my period ended.

Last night I started bleeding. I know spotting is normal between periods with Paragard. I have yet to have any spotting since I got it in March. The bleeding was like a regular period. It stopped this morning by the time I woke up.

I took a FRER last night at 12 after holding my pee for three hours and still drinking water. This is what I got:

I could see the line inside the case. My cell's camera could not. I watched it dry... I took another tests this morning at 11a after holding my pee and not drinking any fluids and got a similar line right away, which my cells' camera once again could not pick up. My nearly blind husband could see them both. I compared them immediately to my first 9DPO test from my second son and they are identical.

Here they both are dried:

I'm so confused by all of this. I didn't have sex on my period and if I conceived after my period I wouldn't even be getting lines yet. I haven't even officially ovulated this cycle.

the line in the first pic looks like antibody strip, since you took it out of the case it makes them dry, im pretty sure those are just evaps, but i could be wrong,

next tim you test DO NOT take the strip out, its forcing it to dry fast causing a line to form.

The second one I didn't take out of the case until it was dry, which is why I don't have a pic of it fresh.

well then, idk, the fact you had your period 9 days ago is weird, so thats why im thinking your not pregnant, and that they are just the notorious evaps thathave been happening on FRER lately. get another test! if you get another line like that, then id be making a doctor appt to see what sup

So stupid... I hate this crap. I debated on getting the FRERs just for that fact. I'm still cramping right now. I'm wondering if maybe I had a miscarriage and this is just left over HCG?

anything is possible..

maybe get an equate.. i seem to get lines on both equate and FRER with simialr intesity in lines. even though they arent early testing i still get lines on them! so far my lats 2 pregnancies the equate was what told me i was pregnant.

Will do! Thank you.

I hope to God they're evaps.

id bet they were. good luck

Those look like bad evaps that formed because they were taken out of the case.

Quoting Mrs. Post-tato Head™:" Those look like bad evaps that formed because they were taken out of the case."

The first one was taken out of the case. I didn't take the second one out of the case until I saw the line to compare.

Even if you waited like 10 minutes, it's still too soon to take it out of the case. The test has to be completely dry otherwise, you could be see the antibody strip then when the air hits it, it darkens.

I just posted this in the test gallery on "Countdown to Pregnancy". It's astonishing how many dry dry DRY tests are being posted, clear evap lines, and people are voting "Positive". It's crazy and it's driving me BONKERS. I know it's 1am and this is a little dramatic, but I've had several cups of coffee in an attempt to stay awake and get my house clean (which I did) and now this is driving me nuts, so it's done. LMAO

just an FYI
landons mommy had her baby girl!
it was a rough labor that almost ended in a c-section but didnt! healthy mommy and healthy baby : )
