Ok, so I've been a little less than obsessive 
in taking the good old HPT's. I don't even expect my period until Friday or Saturday, but something in me told me I was pregnant (and I wanted to surprise DH with a Valentine's gift) so I went ahead and tested anyway on Monday. So, on Monday, I took 2 First Responses (the early results ones, there aren't any others, right?) and got two quite faint lines, but visible anyway. And then I went ahead and bought a box of digital tests. And, went to the Dollar Store to pick up a few of theirs (while I'm going bonkers testing, I may as well go whole hog, no?!?!!?) Monday night, a line only squintily visible on the Dollar Tree test, and even I am thinking I'm just making things up for myself. Tuesday morning, the digital quickly read "pregnant" and so I take this to mean I am in fact pregnant. Again, this morning, another digital "pregnant." I went to my Internist this morning for a follow-up appt, and they ran a urine test because I mentioned that I'd had some positive pregnancy tests at home. (On the way to my Dr's, I must've had like 40 ounces of water to drink...don't even ask me why!!!) but my urine was super duper clear like water and their office test didn't come up with a positive result for pregnancy. And, another Dollar Store test is yielding another less than visible line. Now, I know that HPT's rarely yield false postives and a "line is a line is a line," but I'm going a little crazy that my Dr's office test came up with nothing. In retrospect, I should've asked him to run a beta while I was there anyway, but I totally wasn't thinking.
I thought the Dollar Tree tests were supposed to be highly sensitive, so I am kind of surprised that I got a digital result and am not getting much from these tests.
Any advice for the stressing and hopeful preggy momma?
