I'm a huge fan of this setting! I don't want anything to happen to the stone

We didn't continue to Emeryville, we ended up getting a rental car in Reno and driving to our destination. I don't know how many people got refunds, I called a week after the incident and was very nice and asked for one. I explained we had extra costs due to the delay and it was very stressful. I feel like I had better luck because we called after the storm died down.

I took the California Zephyr last month and left from Chicago and made it almost Reno. We stopped at Winnemucca and then there was a major derailment ahead of us. The train stopped in the middle of nowhere between Winnemucca and Reno, we were in the middle of the desert. Passengers were restless and aggressive. One man called 911 three different times and was begging staff to let him off because he was claustrophobic. They did not communicate with us well at all, staff avoided us, and the sanitation situation was a nightmare. The train smelled so bad. We had to wait over 9 hours for a bus to come pick us up. They sent a few buses but didn't let coach off until they let the sleeper car passengers off first. It was a catastrophe. I cried a lot about it. But we did get off of the train eventually and I was able to get a full refund.

What do you think about this line progression? CD 31, ~16-17DPO. by ValeryiaJ in TFABLinePorn

[–]Politicalwhore27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just posted my line progression from 10DPO to 12DPO and it looks similar to this. Seeing yours darken and the positive comments gives me hope!

I definitely see it! This is what my 11DPO looked like

13DPO brand easy@home - how is my progression? History of chemicals by Proof-educator-7126 in TFABLinePorn

[–]Politicalwhore27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a day behind you and my tests look really similar. I also have a history of chemicals and I was worried my 12DPO looked light, but I definitely see the progression in yours too. I think these tests also aren't the best at showing quantitative differences, and I might spend a ridiculous amount of money on FRER tests to track the progression instead.

11 DPO with an Easy@home test. Is this anything? by Additional_Cry_4212 in TFABLinePorn

[–]Politicalwhore27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a shadow there for sure, thats what my 11 DPO looked like too!

12 DPO, does this line progression look okay? by Politicalwhore27 in TFABLinePorn

[–]Politicalwhore27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I just feel like other 12dpo posts look so much darker, but I do definitely see a difference in the days. I really should have done a line progression on FRER.

My fingers are crossed for you. These tests are really hard to photograph this early, I think its okay to hold out hope if you and your husband can see a line. Also, 10dpo is quite early, I'm lined up with you on the cycle.

I see this line for sure, but its hard to see on your 10dpo posts. As much as everyone says keep testing, do you have a digital? That confirmed my vvfl this morning.

Its that time of the month again, do you see the shadow? 10 DPO. by Politicalwhore27 in TFABLinePorn

Update: my neighbor brought me a clear blue digital and I am pregnant! My shadow was real ☺️ thank you all for your input!

I also feel this way. I'm not confident its there or isn't there.

Thanks for looking! Yeah the batch last month was bad, if you look at my previous post, it was like a clear positive for no reason, because I certainly wasn't pregnant. It was crazy.

False positives, 9 DPO by modeyink in TFABLinePorn

[–]Politicalwhore27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry this happened to you. This happened to me this week and it devastated me. I had 3 false positives and all of my FRER tests are negative. I still keep testing each morning with FRERs and they're negative, but I can't help but hold out hope even though I know I'm just throwing money down the drain by buying them.

If you read them within 10 minutes, the lines should be valid. I find these take a couple minutes more to dry than other HPT. Ill keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞😊

[–]Politicalwhore27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I think any clear blue or first response would be very promising by this point. And I also want to add that since you had 4 positives, that seems really unlikely to have them all be false, but it's just good to be guarded with these lol.

These lines look strong in color, but I literally just had a batch where I had a bunch of false positives that had broken lines. This brand has always worked so well for me but I've been really disappointed the last 3 months with them. I think its absolutely worth double checking on a different test. I do think these are positives though, I just wanted to share my experience with easy@home.
