PREGNANT!

For the first time ever I peed on a digital test and it said Pregnant!

I loathe digital tests.  It’s so much easier to see one line than it is to see the words not pregnant, it’s like they’re laughing in your face.  I was so scared of seeing those words that I took 5 non-digital tests over 3 days before I finally broke down and peed on one!

I learned an important lesson about the trigger shot too, no matter how fancy of a calculator you have you’ll wish you tested it out.  Especially if you are a pee-stick hoarder like me.  I hate to pee on them since they never have a second line but I love to buy them and I’m superstitious about when I buy them.  I took off for Vegas with 11 sticks sitting at home…

I woke up Sunday morning, my first day back from my “baby-cation” and peed on a stick.  I decided I would use a FRER (since I had 6 of them…).  There was a definite second line but then I looked up my trigger calculator and I could have still had 27 ius of trigger left floating around! 

So then I freaked out about it.

Since then I have peed on one FRER and one Answer test each day, the FRER in the morning and the Answer in the PM, and today, beta day I got the balls up to pee on the digi.  My beta this morning was 62, which according to betabase is right on track for a singleton pregnancy.  I have to admit I’m a little bummed that it wasn’t blazing twinkie numbers but since we have 4 snow babies waiting I refuse to freak out.

For your viewing pleasure, here is my gallery of pee sticks.

For now we are cautiously excited!  We aren’t telling any family until we have our 2nd beta numbers back so I’ll be obsessing and stalking any numbers anyone has out there about 13 DPO betas!  Also sorry to all of you for being an absent commenter lately, I have a lot of blogs to catch up on now that I’m back home!

  10. YEAH!!! I am sooooo happy for you!

    This post made me realize that I have this odd connection with pee sticks now. I was so excited to see yours and analyze the lines...like butterflies in the stomach excited. I'm a weirdo!

    I don't have any 13dpo numbers, but working backwards from my 15dpo beta, yours seems exactly on track to me.

    I'm so thrilled for you!!!
