It’s positive but it’s early… May 19, 2006

Let me start by saying that the amount of frustration I experienced by trying to decipher lines on an ovulation stick are nothing compared to my frustration trying to read lines on a pregnancy stick. You would think a positive would be easy to read…but truely you can be almost pregnant…there are degrees of it according to the pregnancy sticks. When you get the test line and a faint line accompanying it…it turns out that can possibly be pregnant…well, after 3 sticks that looked like that and no period I decided to go in for a blood test. I just found out that it is POSITIVE. My HCG level is 37 and anything over a 25 I guess is positive. BUT it could mean many things, it could be a tubal pregnancy, or god forbid, I could loose it before I even know it. I guess it is common for many women, especially those who are not trying and testing so often, to be pregnant and loose it before they ever knew they were pregnant. I have to go in saturday for a followup. Turns out the levels should double. Lets hope that is the case! Hope with me will you? Lets hope this positive stays positive.
