OMG - Help, please!

by texasangel343, Nov 07, 2009 09:11AM
Ok - my hands are shaking as I write this.  BUT - I had a positive digital 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 digital 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 digital 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!

by Quinns momma, Nov 07, 2009 09:17AM
I would think the trigger out of your system by now. :)  It is usually out of the system w/in 10 days.  Congrats I am so happy for you!!

by texasangel343, Nov 07, 2009 09:17AM
I always thought the digitals were harder to get a positive on?  I think I am going to go get some regular 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.

by mommyin10, Nov 07, 2009 09:55AM
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!!!

by texasangel343, Nov 07, 2009 10:26AM
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!

by scienceteacher79, Nov 07, 2009 12:32PM
YAY!! That sounds very very promising! All of my triggers have been out by the 10th day for sure!! HOLY COW!!!

Wow-congrats!  We did IVF (5d transfer) and I got a BFP on day 9 after trigger so I would say you are in the clear!  congrats!!!

by texasangel343, Nov 07, 2009 01:46PM
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 =)

I will keep you updated!

by luvkayln, Nov 07, 2009 03:46PM
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! ;)

by mommyin10, Nov 07, 2009 06:54PM
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!!!

by texasangel343, Nov 08, 2009 07:16AM
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!

by usuk, Nov 08, 2009 07:41AM
if it is not lighter today, and both sticks were first morning urine, i think you are good to go :)  :)

by texasangel343, Nov 08, 2009 07:45AM
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.  

i'm still a little cautious.

by kikicoates78, Nov 08, 2009 08:53AM
Well if the Hcg doubles every 48-72 hrs it wouldn't be too much darker!  I say congratulations honey!!! Take it easy, keep testing!

by mommyin10, Nov 08, 2009 02:16PM
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!

by ALT76, Nov 08, 2009 05:06PM
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.

Keep us posted!

by texasangel343, Nov 08, 2009 05:33PM
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.  

by fairyzduzt, Nov 08, 2009 05:37PM
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.

by texasangel343, Nov 09, 2009 07:49AM
it was much darker this morning!  yay!  can't wait for my drs office to open in about 30 minutes!

by Quinns momma, Nov 09, 2009 09:05AM
I am so happy for you.... :)  Keep us posted....

by mommyin10, Nov 09, 2009 09:21AM
Woo-Hoo!!! =)  That's great!  I hope you can get in for your beta today.  Keep us posted =)

by tinkerbell101, Nov 09, 2009 10:38AM
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

Good luck...and congratulations becuase it sounds like a BFP to me:-)

by texasangel343, Nov 09, 2009 04:05PM
STILL WAITING!  Uggg....

by scienceteacher79, Nov 09, 2009 04:31PM
ugh! tell these people to hurry the heck up!

by texasangel343, Nov 09, 2009 04:43PM
Beta is 30 @ almost 12 DPIUI.  

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!!

YIPEE!  

by Mariana101, Nov 09, 2009 06:26PM
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!
