Pissed
We tested today, on CD 25. It was negative. To be more precise, all four tests that V took today came out negative. I would not recommend Ta.rget brand pregnancy tests, as they give off the faintest line/shadow EV-ER! I think it is just how they are designed and most women would not even see the pitiful line, unless they are crazily examining every tiny portion of the display window. This morning, I had a slight bit if hope that this VERY, and I mean VEEERRRY faint line was start of a something more promising. However, when V tested this evening with two different tests and one crappy T.arget one, it was obvious that the T.arget ones are just shitty little pieces of plastic.
We were never optimistic about this cycle, so this is not a huge surprise. But even with the low expectations that we had, I am still feeling angry and sad.I am so afraid that this is just the start of a long road. I think we will try again next month. But, if V does not get pregnant that cycle then we will take off for a month or two to save back a little more money.
I am very excited that I and V have so many fun questions to answer. You ladies had some really non traditional questions and I love that! I am looking forward to writing the answers to those over the next week. What a fantastic way to mend our sad hearts after a unsuccessful cycle.
i am so sorry. hope you can do some nice things for yourself this week…
here’s to next month being your month.
Ugh, my heart goes out to you!
damn, im so sorry to read about the bfn.
I’m so sorry. Even if you go into it thinking it didn’t work the BFNs hirt just the same.
I hate the T.arget brand. Though I’ve never needed to use a pregnancy test, the OPKs gave me much different results than the more expensive brand. I once tried dipping them both in the same sample, the T.arget brand gave me a line which was much lighter than the control, but the F1rst Response test said I was ovulating! I had used the T.arget brand for my first 6 cycles, so I wonder how many times I had poor timing for the insem based on those tests!
I’m sorry to hear about your BFN. I think the first is always particularly hard. Hang in there ladies, you can do it. I can’t wait to hear the answers to all of the blogger questions!
So sorry to hear about the negative.
Well shit. I’m sorry our being cycle buddies has turned into our being BFN buddies. It sucks that your stupid Ta.rg.et tests gave you false hope. That’s just cruel. I just ordered 20 more pregnancy strips for $16 from that site I told you about. They never steer me wrong. 🙂
Robbie,
Thanks for recommending the site. We do love ear-ly.pregna-ncy.tests. com as well and have mainly used the ovulation strips for V’s cycles. We did not have as many preg strips tests and bought the more expensive tests at the store. I need to make sure that we are better stocked up for the next cycle.
I hate that we both ended up with BFN this cycle. I am looking ahead and have high hopes for a July babies.
July babies would be nice. I’m a July baby and look how good I turned out. 🙂
