Ok - my handsHand or foot spasms Hand tremor are shaking as I write this. BUT - I had a positive digitalDigital rectal exam this morning! I am 10 DPO...and 11 DPTrigger. I usually get alot of tests and test until I know that the trigger is out of my system but I didn't this time. But I had a digitalDigital rectal exam left and thought I would test.
What do you think? I never thought it was possible....
I hope it's for real :) The only problem with the digitalDigital rectal exam is that I think they are more sensitive. You should get the ones where you can see the lines, then see if they get darker or lighter. GOOOOD LUUUCCCK.
Wow, that is great! It sounds like the real thing to me!! I would wait and test tomorrow morning to be sure but I would be cautiously excited!!! Thge trigger SHOULD be out of yoru system by now!
I always thought the digitalsDigital rectal exam were harder to get a positive on? I think I am going to go get some regularRegular insulin ones and look at the darkness of the lines. I am kinda freaking out - if you can't tell. This was going to be our last IUI.
Congrats!!! Yes, the hcg should be out of your system 10 days later. If you're like me, it sounds like you'll be testing day & night just to be sure ;) Best wishes!!!
I sure hope so! I took a FRER hoping the line would be pretty dark - but it wasn't. It was obviously positive - no squinting. And yes, mommyin10, I will be testing day and night!
Thanks for all your encouragement! We are super excited - but cautious. I am trying to keep busy with things today but I can't wait to go to bed and wake up in the morning to test again. I will be calling my RE first thing Monday morning to get a beta. I wasn't going until Thursday - but I don't think I can wait! I had to tell someone so my mom and sis are saying a prayer for me...while we wait =)
Yes, it defintately sounds like the real thing!! The digital tests are less sensitive, you're right! :) The trigger was always out of my system 10 days past the trigger, and the month we got pregnant, I tested at 9dpo and it was positive! Of course I was cautious b/c I knew it could still be from the shot, so I waited until 13dpo (just b/c I really didn't feel pregnant at all!) and lo and behold, it was a true ++++!!! :) Congrats girlie, you're pregnant!! Good luck with your beta on Monday! We'll be looking for your update, and of course, your + test in the morning too! ;)
I'm sure we can all understand wanting to get to sleep so you can test again in the morning! =) Good luck & please keep us posted! I'll be keeping you in my thoughts & prayers as well & looking forward to hearing great news on Monday! =) Take care!!!
it's still positive - but not any darker...is that bad? i stayed in bed as long as i could! i'm excited that it is positive still, but not super excited. i thought for sure it would be darker!
the one yesterday (the FRER) wasn't first morning urine. i took the digital and then ran to the store to get the other one. so i took the FRER this morning with first morning and it looks slightly darker than the one yesterday.
Yay! I agree, it'll probably be darker tomorrow :) My first test was negative, then two days of light positives before it started getting darker. Remember, it's still early :) Keep us posted!
I was stressing EXACTLY like you! Like you, I had a positive at 10dpo, but it was the FAINTEST of faint lines (barely there) on a FRER. It got a little darker and then I took a digi the next day I think and it was positive! Then I got scared cuz after the line showed up for real it didn't seem to get any darker, but my first beta at 13dpo was a 46 and the line was there, but not super dark or anything. I must've peed on sticks 3x a day after that (FRER's), and waited 4 more days til my next beta. I was freaking cuz they were positive but didn't seem to be getting any darker. Finally, the night before my beta it got dark out of nowhere! I took it as a good sign and my beta was a 306!
Hang in there! Even if it doesn't get dark try not to worry. I thought the exact same thing. I forgot to say I even had a few tests for a few days before BOTH betas that seemed to get LIGHTER! I was REALLY freaking then. It all worked out. As sensitive as the FRER's are, I don't think they are a perfect measurement of whether it's increasing.
I will for sure keep you posted! We really want to tell our 5 year old, but are holding off until we get our beta tomorrow....when she finds out she will tell the world.
It seems surreal that I am talking about having BFP...I never thought this would happen and sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.
CONGRATS!!!! I also tested 11dpt and got a faint positive and tested over the next 3 days and line didn't seem to be any darker but day before beta it was no doubt positive.
This is IT babe... I am so thrilled for you, I got goosebumps when I saw the line had got darker... I can't wait to hear what youe numbers are!!! CONGRATS
here's the deal. IUI was at 4:30pm 12 days ago and I hadn't ovulated. blood was taken this morning about 10...so, chances are that its that low because of that? Is 30 low? She wants to see me back on Wednesday and wants it to be close to 100. And progesterone was 20!!
I will keep you updated!
i'm still a little cautious.
