TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

I'm back from the lab(s)

I went to the RE's office... they took my blood (after poking me 3 times) and said, "you won't get the results until after your next beta...blah blah blah".   I just smiled, paid my co-pay and walked out.  See you again on Wednesday b!tches!!!

So then DH drove my happy butt over to the VA and I walked up to the desk, told the nurse I had a + hpt and asked for a blood draw.  She goes, "I remember you... weren't you pregnant a couple of years ago too?"  I explained that I had a miscarriage and she started freaking out, "well...let's get you in there right now for a blood draw and let's make it STAT on the betas!".  So they took my blood and said I could call back in a couple of hours to find out if it is + or - and then they will have beta #'s for me later today from the outisde hospital.

Anyway - here are my pee sticks from yesterday and today.  I made them a little big so you could see.  They are super, super faint... but the one from today (the bottom one) is a bit darker.  Do ya'all see a line??

  • I happen to be lurking today and wanted to say congrats.  Also, I hope this makes you laugh - I looked at the picture and thought you were seeing things because I saw no line what so ever.  Then I realized I needed to move the slidely bar down below to see where the lines were suppose to show up. Oops.  I see 'em now!  It's been a while since I've taken a test if you can't tell.  I hope you get great lab results!
