. If you're using a cheapy, there's definitely some hope. I've read FRERs can pick up HCG at 7, while some.cheapies not until 50. So I'll cross my fingers the cheapies aren't sensitive enough. I agree what everyone else said about symptoms. A lot of symptoms are due to increasing progesterone. So if you're taking that, there's really no way to know what's real and what's not.
