BFP after thinking I had an evap line!

Justine
Wow! What a whirlwind! I took a FRER Thurs morning before work, checked it at 3 mins, saw a BFN, and (like a dummy) threw it in the trash. I came home from work and couldn't help but look at it. Of course, there was a super faint second line. (It's in the picture below, but honestly it was so faint, the camera didn't pick it up.) Was it a real BFP? Or an evap? Oh how much I regretted not rechecking that test at 10 mins! I decided to try to hold it together and not retest until a FMU on Sat. Officially, got my BFP! I decided to confirm on 3 different tests 😳. We felt a little crazy with all the things we tried this month, but maybe one (or all of them put together) worked! We did BD 5/6 of the days of my fertile window. We used guafenesin to help thin CM in the days leading up to O. I stayed in bed for at least 30 mins after BD each time. (I know, I know--technically sperm gets where it needs to within seconds but sometimes you just want to try everything under the sun for the extra push. I managed to get my first ever UTI of my life doing this though...but I think it was worth it!) I also ate a lot of pineapple the week after O because it supposedly thickens your uterine lining. And last but not least, I drank quite a few ginger beers at happy hours out with friends and pretended to be sipping on mules. Supposedly ginger helps with fertility too. Who knows what worked, but I thought I'd share since we threw the kitchen sink at ttc this month! Good luck to everyone!
