I just copied this from the May IVF Thread so if you are reading both, you can skip it!
Well, ladies I poas this morning and now I wish I wouldn't have. I'll tell you how it went and see what you think. I poas then let it sit on the side of the bath tub (behind the shower curtain because I was afraid of what was happening ). Then I waited a second and pulled the shower curtain back. I only saw one line. So I am thinking why in the world do my boobs hurt so bad then... maybe my beta will come back positive... blah blah blah. I am thinking so many things while I am brushing my teeth. When I finished, I thought I might as well throw this stupid stick away and as I picked it up, I think I see a very very very faint 2nd line. I freaked out. I didn't know which result to read. It was suppossed to be a rapid result one so I shoul have known in 1 minute but by the time I was done brushing my teeth it was probably 3-5 mintues later. Do you think it is still positive? Oh, I should have listened to DH. I told him to go look at it after the 5 minutes or whatever and he agreed that there was a 2nd line and then scolded me for poas. Not really, he just really wishes I hadn't done this to myself! What do you guys think?

Rachel, I feel like we have such a long time to wait too! I think POAS will add too much stress for me either way I'll still have to hold out for the Beta since that's the only definative test. So I've made up my mind I am PUPO by the Beta!

do you have any other types of tests? a first response early result maybe? the rapid result tests need much higher HCG levels for them to detect it, so i wouldn't worry just yet.

I am 8dp5dt or maybe 7. Do you count the day of the transfer? I had them transferred last Wednesday at 11:15. It was just a First Response Rapid Result. I don't have any others in the house so I don't know what to think at this point. Argh!

I used a FRED this morning and immediately got a
the line was faint but you could definitely see it. I feel that right now I am just POAS just for the heck of it and for something to do. I also did the urine strip test that the nurse from my job gave me this morning before the FRED and that was also. I have 3 test left (FRED) and will probably just keep POAS for the next few days. Hopefully the beta confirms this but I do know that FRED is a good test though. I have been feeling tired all day and can barely bottom my pants now. My stomach feels so bloated as well. Today I am 8dp3dt ![]()

I did have a beta yesterday but the RE's office doesn't tell you until after the 2nd one because that is the one that counts. I am tempted to call them to see if they have the results from yesterdays just so I know. I wish I wouldn't have poas! I was fine yesterday!

I just read in the May IVF that you had it yesterday. I am trying to keep up with both. If it would make you feel better than call or try to do something to pass the time.

You crazy POAS girls -
- you're gonna drive yourselves all nuts - ummm, okay, I'm right there with ya but not yet... I am 3dp5dt and started cramping pretty bad last night. I don't think it is leftover from the drugs and the egg retrieval because I was feeling awesome for two day pre transfer (no bloating, no cramps). Anyone else having cramps? Last night I was having troubles sleeping - my boobs are killing me - but I'm sure it's from the Prometrium as they hurt before ET. Anyways, my head was spinning with thoughts and I seriously thought - Oh my gosh, what if this doesn't work - and then I thought - oh my gosh - what if it does??? Am I the only one scared to death of the responsibility and life changing consequences of having a baby? I want a family more than anything - but it scares the life out of me too. ![]()

Has Anyone Had Success with First Response Digital?
Hi was wondering if anyone has tested with First Response Digital? I tested with it today and got a YES+, but some internet research found out digitals are prone to false positives?! Was wondering if anyone has any ideas, I took this test knowing about the false positive thing, so I don't completely believe the results. Am 7dt3dt not counting day of transfer, not sure if that is how it is done.
