Pregnant after a Loss

First PGAL freakout...

Tomorrow I go for beta 2 and my first perinatologist appt.  I have been obsessively peeing on things.. I know.. step away from the pee sticks.. but I just figured if it kept getting darker I would feel better...

My Wondfo tonight was not noticibly darker than this morning.. so I had my DH get more FRER.. and it is lighter than this morning.  Now I am freaking.  Why oh why did I take another test????

Please tell me this is normal??

Re: First PGAL freakout...

  • Stop peeing on things!!!

     The amount of dye differs from test to test. Also, after a while they stop picking up your HCG as well, as the levels get higher and you start producing different types (I think that was the explanation I read). The point is, it means nothing. Step away from the pee sticks, lady!  Wink

  • I am going in for my 2nd Beta today too!  I had to tell my husband to take away the pee sticks!  I have been doing that since Saturday and today I held strong and didn't do another one!  I would think it was a good idea up until right when I dipped the HPT then I would be like oh crap I should throw it away right now!!!  Cause I knew it was fixing to make me have a freakout where I would spend the next few hours analyzing the difference between them all!  So you are not alone I had several that were lighter than the one before or took longer for the line to show up!  I am just trying to focus on that I got a good beta on Monday!

    You are a stronger woman than I. After being up all night in sweats and nausea and heartburn I caved and used another one this morning. It was much pinker than it has been. I used wondfo though not a first response. I have the craziest symptoms. I can never do anything like everybody else. Haha

  • I went at 7am. I am sitting with my husband in the waiting room of the perinatologist to see what we are going to do to help me keep this baby. I will probably hear results from him. He, of course, is running behind. I am shakig and shivering. Oh to be naieve again and think that every time you get pregnant you bring home a baby.
