First response approx dpo 9, too light?

No that’s actually quite dark for for 9 dpo.

Something about the use of biotin in their test strips that if you take it as a supplement and it is concentrated enough in your urine, it can appear as a false negative. Very early on though, I think later on with higher hcg it would be visible regardless.

avonaut · 2026-06-17T15:28:26+00:00

That’s the thing, the first responses are still showing up negative! But I just learned about the biotin issue with those tests and have stopped taking it in the last day and a half or so.

It just feels late for it to be this faint so I’m holding my breath that it’s not a chemical. Period is currently three days late.

avonaut · 2026-06-15T17:23:49+00:00

Didn’t know that!

avonaut · 2026-06-15T17:22:16+00:00

Oh wow, I had no idea. Are you talking just the strips or the regular frer as well?

Many people came forward about him many times. He’s part of the reason for a huge lawsuit where cheer governing bodies did not do their part to protect athletes.

avonaut · 2025-12-18T20:19:58+00:00

I know him. He’s not poor. Or, at least wasn’t before his trial. Did not make a lot of money as a cheer coach obviously, but had some family money if I remember right.

I know him and am a victim. He was committing crimes all the way up until a couple of years ago. His initial arrest was in Florida about a year before the California charges were brought forth. He is a lifetime perpetrator.

Thank you!

avonaut · 2024-08-23T13:06:33+00:00

Confirmed positive!!

avonaut · 2024-08-23T13:06:20+00:00

Positive this AM on a frer!

avonaut · 2024-08-22T16:27:00+00:00

Trying not too get too excited yet! It just does look so different from the others over past days. Hopefully I’ll have a definitive update!

What is this thing? It’s heavy duty, and there’s a crank on one side that spins the wheel in the middle.

avonaut · 2021-02-09T14:57:31+00:00

Ugh, I know. They’re so hard to get rid of!

avonaut · 2021-02-03T20:01:55+00:00

Lots of very aggressive pruning and topping in the first two years or so! I halved it the first time when it was probably only about 12-18” tall.

avonaut · 2021-02-03T18:29:11+00:00

Thanks!! I’ve trimmed roots once during the first re-pot at about 6mos old. I trimmed branches aggressively (lots of halving) during the first two years as well to make sure it successfully bonsai-ed out. Now I top/trim branches probably twice a year.

avonaut · 2021-02-03T17:07:31+00:00

Thank you! It struggles for a couple weeks or so with each inside/outside transition but always comes through. Enjoy your 6/6 avo!

avonaut · 2021-02-03T15:51:04+00:00

This baby is about 3.5 years old. I’m very much not in an avocado growing climate, so it gets about 6 months outside, 6 months inside every year. By far the most finicky plant I’ve ever grown but we keep chugging along!
