early beta numbers and POAS comparisons - Page 3

I just took a $tree test... there's a definitely there line though it's not really, really dark. I feel better seeing it though, I'm only a few days past due for AF. It's darker than all of my FRER tests put together. I seem to have a nice progression going though because less than a week ago I had nothing on the $tree test at all. Must.stop.obsessing.

Maybe I should call my doctor and speak to the midwife. My doctor is no longer delivering babies so I'm kinda starting over again.

That's good news, Nic -- post a pic if you feel like so we all can ogle it

Speaking to the midwife might be a good idea -- feels more "real" somehow maybe?

Ok.. I am 15 dpo (if I o'd on V day, which I think I did somewhere in that time frame and I have a 14-16 day luteal phase, was still trying to figure that out when I tested haha)

came back to add... this was also mid-day pee, after I'd gone lord knows how many times and I actually had to force a little out, lol. This is terrible... I need to just embrace that I am and that whatever happens, happens and let it go. It seems with each pregnancy I have I get a little more nervous.

Can I join the POAS party? I got these this am. I am nervous about how light the $store test is. I sent dh out to get a digital just now. I've not had betas drawn with any of my pg except with my m/c in December...I'm thinking now I might.

Wow. Your FRER is super dark! Mine were so faint, all of them. You'll definitely get a positive on a digital. Congratulations!

ETA: My $tree is about the same shade as yours.. maybe a little darker. I wonder if they just don't get real dark?

Okay - emailed m/w to see if she'll do a second draw. I've quit POAS - I saw a progression, so that's enough for me Great tests, Birthdancedoula! Defninitely pregnant!

Dude, Ashley, that FRER is so glaringly positive that you should just throw out the $Tree and ignore it! CONGRATS!!!

In part, it was this thread thread that convinced me to seek the extra reassurance of a beta for this pg. I got my results today for 5w0d (22 dpo)... 5135... nice and strong ! I'm going in for a second either Wednesday or Thursday. My POAS (all 8) have gotten progressively darker and speedier. I love the numbers and I'm at war with them. I'm thrilled at the strong reading I got today, but almost lost my mind when my temp dropped back near my coverline yesterday. I think once I get my next beta results, I'll be a bit more at ease. Good for the rest of you with your resounding BFPs! Nice pics!

Step away from the thermometer!! I know, easier said than done...hang in there! Soon we'll all be 8-9 weeks and seeing our little beans on ultrasound!

I've been getting positives on internet strips for 9 days now and they keep getting darker, so you would think I would be convinced by now Last pregnancy I took ONE FRER and called it a day. What self restraint I had back then.

OK - got my blood drawn today. I kept apologizing to the m/w and insisting that I wasn't a DIVA. I felt bad asking for a second (she's a very hands-off, nature-loving midwife). I am excited to hear the results tomorrow, though. Now I wonder if I should ask about an 8 wk u/s - which I would normally never do. I had three during December and had to see no hb each time, so one with a hb would be so nice to see.
