Trying to Get Pregnant
Alright, this is killing me - UPDATED
Update: I finally got a full night's sleep last night and wouldn't you know, my temp went back up. This morning's test was a bit darker and I came into work feeling really relaxed about everything. Doctor called about 10 minutes ago and was really somber, said my hcg level was only 20. I immediately filled her in that I was only 12dpo yesterday to which she laughed and said that in that case, the number makes perfect sense. She originally thought I was further along and was going to have to tell me I could be in the middle of a m/c.
Needless to say, the rest of the conversation was much happier. 
I'm back in on Thursday (15dpo) for another round of bloodwork and I'm just thinking good thoughts that everything looks good from here on out. For now, it looks like I'm pregnant.
I'm going to cautiously moosey on over to the Oct 2011 board, but I'll still be lurking here and hoping to see more BFPs from you beautiful ladies very soon. Much love to you gals and thank you again for everything!
*************
I wasn't going to say anything here, but since I'm keeping it from any and everyone we know IRL, I have to tell someone or I'm going to burst.
Friday morning (9dpo), woke up at 3:30am with horrible cramps and I just knew AF was on her way since she usually arrives within the hour after cramping starts. Had a mini freakout to H, he told me to just relax and then sent me on my merry way to my friend's house for our planned girls weekend. Cramps all day Friday and Saturday, but no AF.
Sunday morning (11dpo), I just couldn't help myself and I used a digital at my friend's house - BFN. Fine, disappointed, but it's still early. When I got home that afternoon, I used an IC b/c I'm a total pee-pusher and was good and didn't read it until time was up. Um, it had a reallllly faint line. I cussed. Totally wasn't expecting it and thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Used a FRER and again, another reallllly faint line. H confirmed that he saw them, too.
This morning, same thing, but the digital was still negative. I just went in for bloodwork and they'll call tomorrow with the results. I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'm also freaking out. My mom has a history of m/c and progesterone issues so that and it still being ridiculously early is keeping me on edge.
You girls have been really amazing and I just want to thank you for everything I learned and for answering my silly newbie questions when I had them. I'm not putting up a ticker yet and I'm still going to lurk here until tomorrow if that is okay. I know we all say a line is a line, but I'm just still hoping it's true.

Oh, yay! Best of luck with the bloodwork tomorrow. FYI, I think digitals are less sensitive than dye tests, so it may be OK that the digital today was negative.
Good luck!!
