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.
Re: HPTs are going to make me broke
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.
ambrandau2... your bio made me cry. I wish you all the luck there is with this pregnancy.
