Confused...horizontal line?

[oneslybookworm]

Ok, no idea what is going on. I have an HSG scheduled for today, so wanted to "check, check, and double check" that I wasn't pregnant prior. I had a period this month, and the first day was heavy, then "eh" for a day. After that, nothing for a day (very unusual) and then red spotting/light flow for a day. So, I thought for sure, no way I was pregnant.

Then, I take a test today, and there's a freaking line, only its horizontal instead of vertical. What the hell?!?! Is this a line??? It's super faint, and on the lower 1/3 of the test screen. I'm thinking it's just a faulty test?

[oneslybookworm]

It's super faint, barely even a squinter. Sigh, guess I need to go buy more tests.

I see the line without having to do too much squinting. Is it possible they put it in the wrong way when they assembled it? Go buy more tests and pee and all the sticks (and report back)!

[ginkgoleaf]

Weird, seems like they assembled the test wrong. I'd test again just to be sure.

[ouokie]

I'm guessing it's a defected test? I would go buy another and test again

Yep, that's what I'm thinking too. I just want to be 100% sure prior to my HSG later.

Ok...took another test. Negative. Good to know, though of course I had a smidge of hope. Bah.

I'm so sorry, I had my fingers crossed for you. Good luck with yor HSG today.

[shauni27]

I'm sorry, what a mind fuck!

I had my HSG last week and they did a pregnancy test before they could start just to confirm.

Good luck today!

[awick14]

((Hugs)) such a mind fuck. Good luck today.

[Mushe]

I'm sorry about the wonky test! I hope the HSG goes well.

[vanillahip]

::hugs:: GL today!

[achi]

Ugh.

Good luck today!

[ginkgoleaf]

Sorry for the bfn. Hope your test goes well.

[MrsMB]

GL today! I just got back from mine and it wasn't near as scary as I thought it was going to be.

[oneslybookworm]

HSG is now over...it took 1 minute and 36 seconds (yes, I had him time it). Tubes are totally good and we are not firmly in the "unexplained infertility" camp. RE wants to give it a few months of trying on our own, in case this fixed it, and then in January we will discuss next steps if we haven't gotten pregnant by then.

[belle55]

Bah. Stupid test. Sorry that had to mess with you right before your appointment.

[Mushe]

I'm glad the test was so quick, but not sure if it feels good or bad to know they're okay!

[oneslybookworm]

Mushe, that's exactly what I thought too. On one hand, I'm glad nothing is wrong. On the other hand, I'd like something to declare "fixed!" and we can blame that for why we haven't gotten pregnant yet. Sigh...what a mind game!
