Damn.
From babycenter.com:
"False positives — when the test says you're pregnant but you're not — do happen. The New Mexico study found two brands that gave occasional false positive results. If you get an early positive result and then get your period soon after, you may also have had what's called a "chemical pregnancy." That means a fertilized egg implanted in your uterus and developed just enough to start producing hCG but then stopped developing for some reason. This happens with about 30 to 50 percent of all fertilized eggs because they're abnormal or otherwise incapable of developing into and surviving as an embryo. If this is the case, you'll go on to get your period (though it may be a little heavier and a few days later than usual). When pregnancy tests were less sensitive than they are today, these so-called "chemical pregnancies" were never identified."
After another test this morning, in search of the elusive darker second line, failed to reveal even a smidgeon of second line at all, followed by the appearance of the elusive monthly pain in my ass--I mean, visitor later this morning, I think it's safe to conclude this is what happened. So we won't be expecting an addition to the family in May, after all.
I'm trying not to be disappointed--May was too early, it sucks to be pregnant while moving, etcetera--but I'm not having much success in that regard.
Back to the drawing board.

Hugs, M - had one of those tests myself when we were going through the whole fertility thing so I know how crushing it can be despite every effort to say it's okay.
Hang in there.
Eh, just means it wasn't time yet. Perhaps the 'verse knows you've got a lot coming up with the move and perhaps just the stress of that would be too much for the next one. No rushing, keep the faith
Hugs. Sorry. I know the disappointment of that. I really hope you get it this next cycle.
I'm so sorry.
Damn, I was hoping I DIDN'T have to read this!
It'll happen.
Oh, I am sorry you are disappointed. It will happen! Good thoughts!!
