I decided to take another FRER and IC (internet cheapie) test today and then do another of both on Monday before my next beta. I got a little nervous because the FRER looked a little lighter than the last one, BUT I'm starting to see a line on the IC today.

It got a little darker after it sat a bit, so I feel better ;)

It's actually easier to make out the line on the new IC when the picture is minimized.

Which leads me to conclude that those tests (I bought them from early-pregnancy-tests.com) have a sensitivity of 50 mIU/ml. Their website claims 20 mIU/ml but I don't believe it. The day of my beta (which was 42) I saw nothing, and I'm a squinter. Granted I realize blood levels are present and the body has to metabolize the chemical first, but it should have at least been 20-25 in my urine by then.

I used to buy the wondfo tests off of Amazon, but after I got a GLARING false positive I refused to buy those ever again. And I left a bad review as well. Nothing worse than a false positive for someone going through infertility. Seriously.

Catching Up - It Was BFN

So... I happened to get some false positive pregnancy tests on the last IUI. Very heartbreaking to feel so hopeful and find out it was just a bad batch of Wondfos. I mean, I knew they had evap lines but these last two tests gave an obvious dark and pink line compared to a normal evaporation line. I searched the batch number W00121086-3 and found a bunch of other people had problems with these tests. Then I found that there were other batch lots that had issues. Suddenly, Wondfo doesn't sound like a brand I want to purchase any more.

I ended up buying some tests from Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com instead of more Wondfos. These are significantly thicker than other cheapie tests I've bought. I'll have to take a picture of the tests side-by-side when it's time to start testing again. I think I'll stick with them for now until they give me a reason to switch.

In other news, my Dr. agreed to let me do a round of injectibles this time with the IUI! Well, I'll be doing Femara and injectibles.. he didn't want to go too crazy since I'm under 35 and my AMH is great. I'm supposed to take 5 days' worth of Femara and then 3 days of injectibles. Then I'll get an ultrasound scan the next day to see where I'm at. This will be the first time I get a scan to see my follicles, I'm kind of excited. Of course my chance for twins doubles compared to when I was taking Clomid, which was already more than double a normal cycle.

I think.... It's not an evap

What do you think? It's a Wondfo, the same one that gave me evaps last month. But this is pretty dark compared to those. I may break down and test with a First Response test later tonight.
