Baker - BIG, BIG hugs to you, sweety. Do remember that every test can look different. Several weeks ago I took another test (same brand) to compare to the first one and it was definitely lighter - BUT bloodwork the next day showed that my hCG had more than doubled!
I think I remember you saying that you weren't feeling well last week. I too had a sore throat and felt feverish, which worried me. Since then, I just have not been feeling pregnant despite being 7.5 weeks along. My bbs are no longer swollen and tender. As several of you may remember, I had been monitoring my hCG levels since we first found out I was pg last month. The levels had been rising, but plateauing every now and then. Yesterday morning, I had a brief episode of intense bleeding. Only lasted about 15 minutes and then it stopped as quickly as it began. No bleeding or spotting since. Rather than rushing to the ER, we figured we would just wait until our scheduled u/s tomorrow. I have been on progesterone so I kind of need an u/s to confirm things so I know when or whether to stop taking the progesterone.
This pregnancy has been such an enormous blessing, yet the biggest roller coaster of my life - terrifying after our last m/c. I will gladly continue riding it if it would just mean that I will be holding my baby in May/June. Right now, I think I am in numb. Still holding out hope. Tomorrow after the u/s may be a very, very different story.

:. I think it has begun, it feels & looks just like AF and started around 12:30 today. I do have an appointment with the MW for blood tomorrow but I actually think I am going to cancle since I just "know" the answer. 
I have known deep down since friday but now this confirms it. I wonder if my cold on wed-thurs caused a "defect" in the creation of my little one that caused the m/c? On the up side atleast it was early on, and happened relatively quickly. The past few days have been really hard, knowing but not having any proof so I was holding on desperately to the hope that I was wrong. I actually feel a bit better now that it has begun.
