Well after the eventful conversation I had with my DH last night. I woke up @ 5:20 and had to pee so bad I had to roll off the bed. However, since today is 8dp5dt for me and according to the schedule, I should have some HCG. I prayed I didn't pee my pants drove 3min up the road & purchased a pack of 1st response tests. Ran to the bathroom & POAS. The 1st response test is the one with the 2 lines. The control line was a very deep pink and the positive line was a SOLID light pink line :D . When I read the instructions it said that the 2nd pregnancy line will be light pink or deep pink. Mine was light pink, but you absolutely didn't have to struggle to see it very strong light pink line. :lol:

I guess I really don't know how to feel, cautiously optimistic. I've had 1 MC @ about wk 8/9. Thus far I'm experiencing some of the same symptoms with the last pregnancy: sore nipples and twinges. I did tell my husband & he just laughed at me. He said what about Thursday, I told him the golf tourny messed everything up, I wouldn't have recovered in time honestly to go. So I am requesting additional prayers that I get a good BETA # on Friday.

yay natakia, that's wonderful. awesome!! and dont worry, i'll pray for your beta and healthy pregnancy forward. :)

amanda : april 18th means there was enough time for the shot to get out of ur body, which means, this is likely to be the effect of ur BFP :) keep thinking positive babe, and keep posting :)

I am going to go crazy lol! I POAS to see if it got darker and it did. It's not as dark as the control line but it was clear. I looked at www.betabase.info and there have been pregnancies with a 20 first beta. I wish it was Friday already!!!!

Angela - Definitly YES, I really would like a baby girl for my daughter who is turning 6 next month... Lets hope they are right?? :) The first one is from Urobiologics and they said girl. I did the cabbage test and it also said Girl. This weekend I am hoping to do the "Tell Me Pink or Blue" test and hopefully that will also show girl. I saw a post yesterday the lady also did both test and one said girl and one said boy so she is pretty messed up. It might happend to me too we shall see. But since someone here saw a girl in her 15w U/S I think... one more month I should know and all of us too :)

Wow you come to Canada sometimes... amazing. I would love for babies to see each other too. Where do you go in Canada? I am in Ottawa, the capital. It's in Ontario. That would be sososo cool.

So you have a wonderful Beta again today. Boy your bean decided to show he/she is there now... what an amazing Beta... now you can start relaxing... are you :) ?? It's good that you are tired those are my only symptomes too ;) I have my U/S tomorrow morning. I am hoping my baby's heart is still beating cause I told my sister to tell her friend about my remaining embies to see what she prefers doing :) I am so exited for you girl way to go...

And yes Angela I am having good days lately, I am playing with the kids and testing it's a lot of fun :) I should really be packing though ?? ops..

nicliz - wow you have really nice follies boy they are going to fish a lot of them out... soom I am sure.
I am also very anxious until you can tell your friends and the world "yes I am pregnant" ... it's going to feel so good...

Tammy - how are you doing girl I am so worried about you and praying everyday.

DrBoots - also I am worried do you have any more news? I am so worried and praying for you girl.

Lauren - Well maybe we can all save money for like next spring and get together then :) I will go whereever we want to go :) Besides I got points on my Air Miles card that i will never use :)

Can't wait until you POAS too and get your BFP.

neffi - Ok so you got your BFP but you now think you are loosing it. I am so sorry girl. No words can express the sorry in my heart. I hope you are wrong but you are very strong and am amazed at the way you are handling it. Adoption sounds fabulous and I would love to hear about your journey ok. I tried adopting but I was too old they said. I'll am still praying for you girl. Hugs.

Waiting - so ER tomorrow great... I can't wait. This is so exiting and I am so overjoyed for you. You have such great follies. Congrats girl.

natakia - definitly at 10dp5dt you can definitly get your BFP... can't wait for your results girl... ya yaay. Sorry about your fight dear. When I tested I didn't tell my dh... I just did it and showed him when I had a BFP... so you should do that ;)

so you POAS this morning boy your story made me laught and I am so overwelmed and exited for you girl that you got your BFP. You know once you get a + it doesn't turn - later... You will continu getting a + and 8dp5dt is 13 days so that is the first day you can really see it so I knew you would see it and I am so exited for you girl. Wow amazing and congratulations and H&H 8 months. I will keep you in my prayers too don't you worry ... Happy Beta on Friday.

Wow your story about your wedding was a tragic one. I am so sorry dear. how can things be so hurtful hey!

mkd - still no symptomes... really nothing other then being tired... I am a bit worried but going for my U/S tomorrow so I will see. I sure hope baby's heart is still there and I really need to find my dropplet so I can listen to the hb all the time and not worried :) thanks for asking. How are you today girl :)

I think the fact that your boobs are slightly heavy and painful is a great sign are you tired also. To know if you have less energy just go up the stairs and see if you have a hard time caughting your breath. That is how I know I am pg when I don't do IVF or FEt. I think you are ok to POAS now or very soon. Let us know ok.

Franca - I don't think twins are highter risk of mc I guess it's cause if you have 2 in there you have 2 changes of mc... but you won't they will be nice and cozy and everything will be fine. May 14 is so far though I am so impatient for you girl :)

tameka - very glad your gm is doing better. Less stress and more relax time. I am kinda happy about AF showing her face so you can start your cycle but I do hope that is the last AF you get in 10 months ;) Wow $100,000 IVF coverage boy I wish I had that here :) We are paying on our own. Thank God I don't need meds or anything now. I continu praying for you girl and will not stop until you get your BFP too... don't ever give up ok. Hugs.

Lauren1171 - boy oh boy your RE sure likes to make you worried. Anyways you don't have cramp so baby is NOT going anywhere. Probably a late implantation so nothing to worry. I even saw twins with that low beta so you are doing great and can't wait until your Friday Beta :) Bets it will triple by then :)

So your second test is even darker... well you are in for it girl. Congratulations... See you have nothing to worry :)

NO YOU CANNOT get HIGHLIGHT IN YOUR HAIR girl... you can't I was told my a hair dresser NOT to do coloring while in cycle or TTC or pregnant.

amanda - nausea and totally exhausted are great signs. You are pg my dear. when are you POAS? I don't think it's too early to have symptoms. It might be an early implentation.

sas - I think you are doing good. You are 8w now and when we reach that normally we don't mc anymore. I hope everything goes well. My baby dies at 8.5w but mc only at 12w but if I had u/s I would have known so I think you are going to be ok girl.

AFM - Nothing new. My U/S is tomorrow morning so I hope I can still see the hb beating and my little moving around. I pray for everyone everyday so keep the faith... Hugs. I hope everyone is having a good day. And I got to start packing boy. Pictures this weekend and First Communion all stressful stuff :)

Helene – we go to Toronto often because I have a brother-in-law who lives there. I love Canada!

I am sure your u/s will be fine and I am wishing you good luck!

Natakia – I am glad you tested again and it was still positive … congrats!!!

AFM – I called my RE again this morning because I woke up around 4am to go to the bathroom again and then when I returned to bed I had this terrible shooting pain that really scared me. I didn’t have any spotting and I still have my pregnancy symptoms but I am requesting another HCG tomorrow (Thursday) just to ease my mind. I think I just needed to go to the bathroom because once I did, the pain didn’t return. But, I am determined to pay very close attention to every sign w/ this pregnancy so nothing will be missed like my previous pregnancy by my physician. So please pray for me that everything will turn out fine w/ my beta tomorrow!
