tested again


I've been using internet cheapies. Today when I came home from work I used a FRED. It was clearly positive right away - I am stunned. I'm not sure if you can see in the picture. I still can't imagine that a beta of 13 will turn into a healthy pregnancy, but it does look like the numbers are going up.

The blood test tomorrow will tell us more, but even if it doubles I don't think I will truly believe.

This is not how I pictured this.

Wow! That's definitely positive. If you hadn't had the beta then you would have never known you had a low number, just a positive test. I'm hoping for a big number tomorrow. If not you will have a lot of support here!!

Fingers crossed that it's not an ectopic.

I hope this all turns out better than mine did when my beta was 13. My HPT did not give me any indication that things were so low. I tested at home 3 times and got positive results (starting light and getting darker until I had a + on a digital) but my beta that time peaked at 20.

I hope your numbers are doubling and doing well!

Holy Shit! I see it!

Lisa said...

I hope that this is really it and your betas are good tomorrow. Good thoughts coming your way.

Maybe it was just a late implanter? I will hope for that for you.

I can see the positive line!! I'm hoping things are looking up for you.

Happy said...

I'm excited for you! (Plus as a fellow DI person it gives me hope.)

Waiting Amy said...

I SEE the line! Totally.

Remember there is a broad range of normal hCG. One chart I just looked at had the lower limit of 19 as late as 5 weeks past LMP (that would be about 3 weeks post ovulation). So it is completely possible that this is an acceptable level.

I'm holding on to hope for a great beta tomorrow!

I can see a line. I had a chemical a couple months ago and had a very very faint line that never got any darker. I hope that you will have greatly rising beta numbers. Good luck.

Erin said...

Good luck tomorrow. I know you'll still worry, even with a doubling number but I have a feeling it will be even more than doubled! Try to sleep tonight!

MommynMama said...

Jusy like everyone else I SEE that line! Can'tbwait to hear the results tomorrow.....keep doubling numbers. FX crossed

Somewhat Ordinary said...

I don't know much, but I do know that looks positive! That line looks as dark as any that I ever got. Hopefully, you've just got a late implanter in there. I will be home sick tomorrow because I have bronchitis, but I will try to check in to see what the beta results say. I hope this is it, I hope this is it!!

Go out and get a Clear Blue digital that says pregnant.It doesn't last for long, but is so cool to see.

Oh, jeez, Rachel, I can't believe how crazy this all is. Not how I pictured it either. There's definitely a line there. I can't wait to hear what happens tomorrow. I'll be refreshing madly anytime I'm not in a meeting :)

Best wishes and hugs to you both.

Nearlydawn said...

Wow, just when you think you know what to think, huh? Try not to what-if or think yourself to death until your beta comes back. I know, I know, you will, but try to hold out on the stress. :)

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!

Natalie said...

Wow. This is crazy. That's a pretty strong line. I hope this is a good sign..... yikes. What a mindtrip!!!

Serenity said...

You know, I have to wonder if the timing of the beta just was too early - maybe you ovulated later than what they expected.

I dunno. But I want you to know that all my fingers and toes have been crossed. Hang in there, hon - keep us posted on the beta results.

Brooke said...

Come on BIG number......My fingers are crossed.

singletracey said...

Just thinking about you and praying for a great number! Maybe it was late implantation....

Jen said...

I see two lines!

Here's to a wonderfully high beta and nothing along the ectopic route.

Tina / Anxious Changer said...

Will be hoping and praying for you that your betas are doubling...and everything turns out good for you!

Samantha said...

I hope you can continue to hold on until tomorrow! The tension must be mounting!

Janna said...

YAY for those 2 lines!!!!! Hoping those numbers are doubling!!!
