So mad!!! Stoopid FR test...

[steph0530]

OK so there's like a 1% chance I'm preggo but I need to know before I start BCP (to regulate cycles). Now I'm not sure if I'm a nut job or what but I've been seriously freaking out thinking that I am in fact preggo and might be imagining false symptoms (Swollen ankles, sore bbs, nausea...)

SO- I'm struck with sudden urge of NEED TO KNOW NOW and run to WM and get a 3pk of FR on my lunch hour. Come back to work and POAS. Nothing. 3 minutes later, nothing. Not even the first line. Blank screen. 8 minutes, still nothing. 15 minutes later still a blank screen so I bust 'er open and (I've never done that before, fyi) and the stick inside has a big pink blurry blob. No discernible lines whatsoever. Everything was soaked, so I know pee wasn't the issue.

Now I'll wait till tomorrow am to POAS again. But ****. I'M SO MAD!!! Had to share. Anyone else get a junk FR?

History:
Mirena removed March 2nd. Bled for 2-3 days after, with cramping. Expected I guess.
Nothing even resembling a cycle...
DTD June 17th (Fathers day, lol!)
AF or at least flow for 3 days, 1 week later (Last week of June)

Thoughts?

Never had any problems with FRER...did you leave it in the urine too long? Sometimes if it's too soaked it wont' give a proper reading. I would suggest not wasting any more $$ on expensive tests and get a dollar store cheapie. They work great and detect 25 miu and sometimes even lower.

I would retest and see its easier to dip the stick in a dry cup than to poas in my opinion. Good luck! It doesn't seem to early for a test either.

Personally I would return the whole box and tell them it didnt work and show them... Ask if you can just exchange it for a dif box. Just make sure its not expired...
