1st Trimester

HPTs are going to make me broke

Since finding out I was pregnant, literally a week ago, I have taken more pregnancy tests for confirmation.  I don't really have any pregnancy symptoms yet... maybe it's too early for symptoms (I can't remember from my first pregnancy).  My first Dr. appointment is not for another 4 weeks!!  That is way to long to wait for a "real" confirmation.  It is almost worse than waiting to take a pregnancy test.  Ugh.

  • I'm a little further than you, but totally understand.  I really haven't had any symptoms yet either.  My appt isn't for another 3 weeks as well (and its just a med history appt at that!)  Hang in there & stop testing!!

  • With my first pregnancy, I was just like you.  In hindsight, it was a HUGE waste of money.  This time around, I took 2 tests and that's it. 

    It's too early for you to have many symptoms, other than maybe what feels like your period coming on.  Crampy, backache yada yada.  I'm 6w3d and have had hardly any symptoms as well.

    If you do miscarry the tests can still come up positive because your body is still producing HcG.  I would stop buying them and just try and relax.

  • I took 21 tests and an OPK that came in the pack just to see what would happen.

    I just needed to see that line get dark, dark, dark.

    I would totally pee on one if there was one in the house right now. I admit it.

  • I took 5 HPT's. I wanted to make sure the line got darker and darker.
  • ambrandau2... your bio made me cry.  I wish you all the luck there is with this pregnancy.

  • I took 5 this time, less than I had with DD which is weird since I expected it this time and hadn't with her. The first few were really faint so I felt like I needed more confirmation. I stopped after that but I posted at around 6 weeks about not having any symptoms..my foot has met my mouth since then. Give it a few more weeks and you will be feeling like crap in no time lol (hopefully not if you are lucky). Congrats to you!

  • I just told my DH last night that I think I am addicted to peeing on sticks!  I have taken 5 tests now and the line has been really light each time so I am having a hard time believing I am really pregnant...Tempted to just splurge on a digital one that will tell me for sure!  I do have to get a blood test for my dr. before I can make my first appt. so at least that will give me confirmation!
