Remember how I said I would wait until Tuesday to pee on a stick again?
Well, I caved this morning. I was thinking my symptoms were diminishing, and I'm alone today with Magpie (Will has to work and our playdate plan fell through), and I told myself if I tested negative I could go do something super fun with her today, forget the 10 lb. lifting restriction and just pick her up in my arms and have the best day possible running around the city doing fun toddler stuff. (This of course overlooks the fact that I would be devastated, so carrying out said plan would be tough, but ahem, I forgot that part).
So around 6:30AM, I tested.
And....
Not sure if you can tell so well from this picture, but the line today is definitely darker.
Is it twice as dark? I dunno. But it's darker. It definitely hasn't disappeared, as I was fearing. Hopefully this represents a beta of around 70...
We'll see what tomorrow's beta brings but it looks to me like this very fledgling pregnancy still has a chance.
Happy Labor Day everybody!

That's way darker. Those tests take forever to darken.
ReplyDeletethanks! that's what we thought too!
DeleteDefinitely darker! Everything is still crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAt first I was sad, because I saw the first test and couldn't make out the line, then I realized that was the first test. The second test is definitely darker - yay!!! Happy Labor Day!
ReplyDeleteLabor...haha! Yes, happy LABOR day, 38.5 weeks from now! Wishing and hoping and dreaming for you!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely darker! I totally get how it's so easy to think things aren't progressing. That's how I've been feeling the last few days with no reassurance for a while! This early period is so hard!!!
ReplyDeleteYou. Are. Pregnant!
ReplyDeleteI like what I see, pregnant mama. Hoping the quantitative beta hcg will give you added reassurance tomorrow. So far, this is looking good. Please let it stay this way, universe.
ReplyDeletetomorrow is the definitive day for beta...
ReplyDeleteyou've done so well with this loooong wait,
not to mention not picking up magpie... good for you mo.
I am going to hope for a beta like in the 1hundred-teens...
please update when you can!
I just remembered to check up on you today, and I'm so excited to see this!! Praying for a very sticky baby!
ReplyDeleteI learned a great trick on babycenter. Put your wedding ring (or something else small) on top of your pee stick and it helps the camera focus on the result window. Because we like clear lines! :)
FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely darker and definitely pregnant! Prayers for a fantastic BETA tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely way darker, hope to see more good news tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to see your pee stick! I lived in beta h*ll earlier this year (ended in a chemical, fresh IVF transfer) and spent about 36 hours on the internet. Just want to share the general take home I got from pubmed and stalking old "low, slow beta" threads. If you are at 100 for your beta on 12dpt of a 5 day, you are looking good of a THB. There are actually studies on this if you want to look them up. I think you are in great shape and look forward to continued updates!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH. I go away for the weekend and stop checking blogs and I just came back to all of your updates. You are on my heart today. No matter what - squeeze your precious Magpie extra today. My baby girl was my anchor through the IF and RPLs of trying for #2. I just kept hugging her and smelling her hair and rubbing her arms and legs and hands as proof that she existed. Can't wait for an update.
ReplyDeleteYay Mo! Crossing my fingers for an excellent beta!
ReplyDeleteWahoooooooo!!! I'm so happy for you. I know it is early and this does not guarantee another baby, but this is good news. Congratulations! Praying for a good beta.
ReplyDeleteAwesome line : ) just another reader hoping and praying for you here. Stick and grow little one!
ReplyDeleteMo--just another reader here with her heart in her throat, hoping so much this works out for you all.
ReplyDeleteI've read your blog and prayed for you guys for years (under various google accounts!) I'm praying now, that everything goes beautifully and that you hear good news today.
ReplyDeleteWaiting impatiently and hoping for triple digits!
ReplyDeleteSame here!
DeleteI have been checking your blog all day!!!! Praying for a BIG number!!!!
ReplyDeleteMe too. I feel like a stalker.
DeleteDefinitely a dark line and as dark as I'd expect 10dpFET. Can't wait for news!
ReplyDelete(and I know I don't have to remind you that with HPTs, the darkness of the line doesn't correlate to the strength of HcG, only a beta will tell you that)
Stalking your blog! praying for triple digits!!
