A word of caution about First Response Early Results pregnancy tests. I use them religiously said to predict as low as 25IU of HCG in your system (I actually was able to get a positive on one when I had my ectopic pregnancy and my HCG was at 14). Anyway, I kept seeing a weird shadow. This shadow coupled with my cramps convinced me I was pregnant. I finally flipped the stick over and saw that on the back there is a piece of plastic that made the shadow. Why would they design a test that would have a shadow in the exact spot where the line is supposed to show. I can't imagine how many other women got there hopes up like I did.
My last post was all about the fact that I was struggling to get through the two week wait and that I was convinced I was pregnant. Of course I wasn't and I wasted more money on home pregnancy tests (HPT). I can't wait for the day that I pee on one and it shows two lines for once.

Author I'm a 33 year old Mom to one and Step Mom to another from Philadelphia, going through my 3rd year of secondary infertility. I am spending 90 days preparing for my last round of IVF, through diet, supplements, mental health, acupuncture, and exercise hoping this will make the difference. Categories
