Pregnant after IF

I have never...

seen a positive HPT.  I haven't thought about it in awhile but when I thought this cycle didn't work again, I gave up all hope.  Then when I found out I was pregnant I was afraid to jinx it.  Now it is just silly to pee on a stick.  I have all the reassurance I need.  I just think it is funny.  Sorry just had to share that with someone who would understand.

Re: I have never...

  • I have never seen one either! Even after they confirmed it I was scared to POAS because I was afraid the lines would not be there and the same after the 1st and 2nd ultrasound.

  • I swore I'd never pee on a stick, but DH made me for the scrapbook. I was scared to death!

  • I saw my first one this time around.  My clinic does a first beta at 11 dpo and then a second usually two days later.  They don't give you the results from the first until you get the second.  Well, my first was on a Friday and due to a holiday, my second couldn't be done until Tuesday (15 dpo).  I was tired of leaving work bawling.  So, Monday night I used a FRER and got a very faint second line.  Since I had never seen a second line, I decided I would be happy with the positive beta I was sure to have and I didn't have to leave work before I got the call!

  • After it was confirmed, I POAS.  DH thought I was ridiculous, but I wanted to actually see a positive test.  I was so good about not POAS during the 2ww.

  • I saw the faintest line at 5dp5dt.  I never did it again because I was so afraid it would go away!  Even after my beta I never tried again.  It's sad how many BFNs I saw, and then once I was PG I was too petrified to POAS!
