Well....it was negative again
by bioclock1, May 08, 2008 11:42AM
Nurse called this morning and said my blood test was "normal." She said it was a 2 and of course, anything under a 5 is negative. I just said "well thats good news!" and thanked her and hung up. I'm so tired of having to pretend to everyone (except on this forum) that it's good news if I don't get pregnant b/c "we're so young and newly married and its just not time yet." BARF!!
I WANT a baby. The ONLY person who understands that is my good friend who has 2 children. EVERYONE else keeps telling me, "you don't want to be pregnant....you have so much to do first." Yeah, sure I do. Grad school. Spending time w/DH. But in my mind, BOTH those things can be completed/enjoyed WITH a baby!! Even my grandma was like, "oh honey, you're not ready for that yet. Remember when you're friend was pregnant and you said "i could never do that?" remember?" HELLO??? I Was 22 years old! Now i'm 26, going on 27 in 6 months!
*sigh*. I'm okay w/the fact the lab was negative. I dont understand why I have all these symptoms. How do you explain blue veins all overy your bb's that you NEVER had before. And tons more "bumps" (MT's), and veins going through my chest and nausea every now and then, esp early am??? HOW?????
i'm sure its all going to turn out to be a "such-and-such" imbalance when I get my saliva test results but it's still so frustrating!
Damn these biological clocks!!!

I went through a similar situation recently. I became pregnant again shortly after my first miscarriage. My cycle after my miscarriage was really screwed up. I ovulated then got my period 7 days later. It was 10 days early. So, I thought I was late on December 10, but a blood test was negative. 7 days later, on the 17th, it was still negative. Going by the cycle I should have had, I was late on December 20th. On December 19 I went to the hospital for a pre-op and got a phone call the next afternoon, telling me I was slightly pregnant with levels of 23. So after 2 negative blood tests, I finally had a positive. Unfortunately, I lost that pregnancy too a few weeks later. But I am expecting again in December.
I hope it all works for you. 26 is not too young.
so...guess a negative is a negative.
You're story is amazing.....i'm sorry about your m/c but so happy that your preggo again!!! SO, how far along were you when the doc called and said you were preggo? (last time...)
and yeah, 26 is not too young. Like my aunt said at my wedding rehearsal dinner i'm "no spring chicken!!!"
boy...that's all i think about.....
I texted my best friend this morning and said "test was negative. yea!" I was saying yea sarcastically b/c yesterday i called her, freaking out (in a good way) b/c i thought i saw a second line on the test. WHen i told her that yesterday, she was like, "i'm sure it can't be." I explained how faint lines work b/c she didn't know, and she said, "Well, don't worry. I'm sure you're not pregnant." I was like, "Hello, I WANT TO BE PREGNANT! I MEAN, i'd prefer it if my Dh and I got pregnant b/c we were actively trying, but if i was, i'd be thrilled. I Want a baby!!!"
She just said, "oh." So that's why i texted her this morning and said "yea!!" b/c i was being sarcastic.
I just got a voicemail from her telling me that she was glad the test was negative b/c she was sure i wasn't ready for a baby anyways.
I know she doesn't mean to be hurtful, and sh'es a year younger than me and not married or in a serious relationship so she's still in that "do everythign to avoid pregnancy" mode. But i'm not!! Shouldn't she be a little more sensitive or does she just not get it b/c she's not where we all are on this forum....in ttc world!!
She's happy now about the pregnancy, but she sure wasn't at first.
The doctor said the baby must have JUST implanted because of how low the levels were and the fact that I had a negative blood test two days earlier. This time, we've reached 8w5d today and still going strong. We're due in December.
I'm so pathetic...even after getting 2 negative blood tests and a thousand negative hpts', i'm still hanging on to this thread of hope. Like...hmmm...maybe it was a 2 instead of 0 b/c i dind't conceive in march but did just recently and its still implanting....
so sad! The chances of me having conceived this last cycle are next to impossible since there was only 1 or 2 days we didn't use condoms but even then we used the pull out method! i should just give up and realize i'm not pregnant! what's it gonna take? hmm...AF!!! I started spotting this morning, (of course after spendin $ on a blood test) but no cramping anymore (since last night) so i'm wondering if it's my body's weak attempt at AF b/c i messed it up by taking progesterone b4 O.
aaaaahhhhhhhh the torture of our bodies!!! :)
But taking Progesterone at the right time each cycle, for a few cycles, really helps to regulate you and stimulate ovulation.
If you take it after ovulation, it 'tricks' your body into thinking it is pregnant. It builds up a good lining in your uterus, makes a mucus plug and delays your next AF to give the egg a longer chance to implant. (helps people with a short luteal phase)
Luteal phase: http://www.****.com/
The luteal phase otherwise known here as the 2ww, and is the time your egg has to implant before your AF arrives.
You need a minimum luteal phase of 10 days, or you loose the pregnancy even though nothing is wrong.
