Um...could it be?

Ladies...um...

I got a faint line today!

I'm in total, total shock. I woke my husband up at 5:30 (the time I get up for work) to see because I didn't know or believe what I was seeing. It's faint but he goes "even without my glasses, I see that line. Call the doctor."

So for now, I don't know what to believe and he's trying to keep me even kiel because just this Sun. I tested (day 10DPIUI) and it was negative. Today, day 13 it's that faint line.

I'll keep you posted. I guess the next steps is to call the doc for confirmation.

I'm in total shock. Here's hoping that line IS a line and will stay.

Thank you. I'm cautiously getting into the groove/happiness. But honestly? Just still nervous as heck to let it sink in.

I'll keep all of you updated. I have no idea what to expect now. I honestly don't feel preggos at all except for constipation. hahhahaha

I tested on day 10DPIUI and it was negative (I totally cried too).

Today is day 13DPIUI. Yes, I caved again but figured, well they wanted me to test 2 weeks from the IUI, that would be Thurs. one day early wouldn't hurt.

I always heard that the 2nd line shows up instantaneously and dark. Not true if it's faily early. Mine started to kick in a little after a minute. I thought I was seeing things so I put it down and walked away. Came back about another minute and it became more pronoucned. While I always said I would make a big suprise event for my husband, I couldn't wait so I dragged him out of bed to look.

He's the one who said "well, even without my glasses (he can't see for squat), I do see a 2nd line. Call the doc."

So I got my bloodwork done about 8am and have to wait until 2. Then 3 more blood tests after that.

So not saying that my scenario is typical. I don't know. The nurse did say testing on day 10 is really early. She asked about the line and after I told her she goes 'well, it could definately be true. The blood work will show for sure." Same with the doctor. He said the HPT was a good sign but wanted to make sure.

Freaking out. But not too much. I just don't want to hear "you tested too early and it's obviously your trigger showing."

However, I know what a BFN looks like and this the very first time that stick showed a 2nd line--even if it was faint (not hard to read but not dark like the control).

Boobs hurt
heartburn
backache
moody
crampy on and off like AF is coming yet toilet paper (sorry TMI) is totally, totally clean. I usually spot a few days before I'm due (which would be any day between Thurs and Sun)

But none of this is out of the ordinary for me. These are exactly AF symptoms for me. I think that's why I'm not believing it to hard either.

We'll see.

What day did you get your positive on?  I am 12 dpiui and getting very anxious.  Told myself not to test until they told me to (Sunday), but I am getting anxious.

Thank you everyone. I just don't know what to think so I'm definately keeping even kiel. I'm also scared of even with a confirmation, the whole "what if".

Blood test results today and if positive they said 3 more tests. Then ultrasound in 2 weeks.

Very, very, very weird. I have zero symptoms that aren't unusual for AF. But I know AF symptoms can be same as pregnancy.

IF (and a big if) it worked, I'm guessing the trigger is what helped. I felt those eggs squeeze out. Never, ever felt that before.

Crossing fingers and trying to stay sane and calm.

Good luck everyone. Much baby dust and yea, you can totally, totally give me a big ol slap for testing on day 10. hahaahah. But it's hard not to.

I told you that 10 dpIUI was too early!  HcG levels double every single day, you probably didn't have enough in your urine to detect on Sunday.  You could have just implanted that day or a couple days before!   It's a good idea to keep a level head so you don't have the disappointment JUST IN CASE.....but it is SOOOO hard and I bet this is your BFP.   Great, now I REALLY want to have my IUI tomorrow!  Sniff sniff....

Good Luck and please keep me posted!
