After M/c my hcg went right back down to normal non-pregnant levels. i got my 4 posative OPKs early this week (and not even a hint of a line since, until now!) although i had no EWCM to go with it... i think i got a few Ov pains Monday.
This morning, for no reason at all- just my POAS addiction- decided to take a HPT (i have millions of them.) They claim to be able to show a faint line at 1day after conception, they are from the NHS. so i just took one with me and used FMU. i did the deed and shoved it in the bedrom (i KNEW it was going to be BFN, but didnt want to waste my FMU! ) i left it on the bed for a few mins and thought id take a peek.... THERE WAS THREE LINES one was obviously the control, the second darkest was the evap line and if you squint, you can see a really thin faint line where the test line should be!! is thes crap??? (sorry lol. im just shocked)? is this possible to actually be a BFP???
Just now, i took a OPK because i got a bfp on OPK 9days before i tested posative on HPT... Yes, it was a BFP...
Now im really CONFUSED!
This is what is on the info leaflet for the test strips..
It is unfortunate that some eBay sellers claim their tests are ultra early and 10 mIU when they are not. Basically if the outer foil doesn't indicate 10mIU then they are NOT Early or Ultra Early tests. All our strip tests are Ultra Early 10 mIU tests. These tests will show a faint line at a level of 10miU of HCG (the hormone that is produced in large amounts when you are pregnant). A normal non-pregnant woman is at a level of 5miU or less and from the first day of becoming pregnant the level of HCG doubles every day for the first 3 months until the level is at several hundred thousand. The average woman could, therefore, show a faint line only 1 day after conception but if the level started at 1miU then it would be 3 days after conception that the line would show. Accordingly it can vary from person to person and the actual day of conception in the cycle can vary slightly depending on the day the egg was released from the ovary and the day it was fertilised. Normally we would say that these tests would be certain to show a positive result 6 days after conception. On the 7th day the line would be much darker and so on. Having said that we have had women say they showed positive after only 2 days!! The risk of testing too early being that the fertilised egg may fail and may turn out to be just a heavier period than normal. Experts estimate that 20-30% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage and many of these manifest themselves as slightly later or heavier periods.
