When do you believe it?--Addicted to pg. tests - Page 2  

post #21 of 26
bought 5 $ store tests when we were in the trying phase, took 3 that say nope and then waited patiently till I had actually missed my period and on the day I would have started got 2 faint +'s. It's actually quite hillarious, I took one the morning I would have gotten my period and looked at it for 30 seconds saw the test line glaringly dark and thought, yeah it's another - tossed it in the wastebasket. This was at 8am then all day Im waiting to see AF but nothing nada, and let me tell ya im pretty much like clock work. so about 3pm I start thinking hey, wait maybe I didn't let enough time pass, maybe I should go look at it again. Of course by now 8hrs have passed, I pull it out of the wastebasket and can't believe the two lines I see, Im smiling so hard my cheeks hurt (this happens everytime I get preggos!), then I think ok I have one left I have to take it the other may just be a falty test and it did sit there all day I can't rely on that, so I try to pee on my last stick but I can't pee. In the meantime DH and the kids come home from school. DH is like "WHAT" (my cheeks cannot relax), and I say I think I have good news, he says "oh did you get the reservations to go camping this weekend" and I say yeah but still am smiling like a crazy woman and he's like "your pregnant?!" all I can say is that I think so, and then I try to take the test again get a few drops and it's a double liner, the hormone line if more faint than the test line but it is definately there! From my work in midwifery a false neg happens all the time before the hormone is high enough, but a false + is very unlikely. I going with it as my nipples are screaming everytime Winter tries to nurse and still no period...but I do have that nagging desire to pee on more sticks! Definatley addicted here!

It hasn't really sunk in yet (I'm only 3 weeks in 2 days). I took my first test this morning and I completely and totally expected it to be negative. I really thought I'd had an anovulatory cycle. I only tested because I had an appt to see a Dr for fertility treatments. I figured I should test just to make sure so I wouldn't look stupid going to see him if I was pg. Of course I believed the test would be negative. So when the line showed up, I leaned over squinting, ran for my glasses, and grabbed the test. It was so very positive. I just stared with my jaw open.

When DH came home from work, I snuck into the bathroom and used a digi test. DH was on his laptop and I put the test on his keyboard. He sat there speechless and in shock just I had. The he got up and poured a glass of wine. Yeah, we were surprised.

Took my last test this morning. A beautiful, quick positive! Saved it for the day we met with the midwife (just in case). But now she had to reschedule. At least I am starting to believe it's a keeper.

I peed on three sticks in 12 hours, just to make sure. All positive. That was at 27 dpo. Now I'm just over 7weeks along, and I still occasionally get the urge to pee on another one! Even with the morning sickness, bloodwork, and very late period, I still think I need to pee on more sticks! That said, I have resisted the temptation. Really, three ought to be enough!

I had 4 tests done, the inexpensive ones that cost pennies. I have had 3 pregnancies prior to this one and have never had a proper positive line, only faint ones.
I am not too optimistic at the moment, anything can happen, don't want to get too excited.
