The One in Which I Pee On Sticks

Lots and lots of sticks.

Yesterday, I scored 3 out of 5. Despite Internet claims of superiority, the FRER and the Dollar store refused to give me a positive. CBE digital and Equate both said "pregnant" and that was enough for me.

Only, not really.

When you've never, ever, in seven long years, seen a second line on those damn things, you kinda wanna keep doing it.

And so I did.

Three more times yesterday.

Four times this morning.

And I am pleased (oh, who am I kidding? ECSTATIC) to report that by this morning my batting average increased to 100%.

FRER digital: YES+
CBE digital: Pregnant
Equate: Two solid lines (no squinting needed!)
Dollar store: Faint, faint second line

I think I can confidently say that, after seven years, I am pregnant.

Oh my god.



(I called my RE and scheduled an early beta for this morning, even though I am out of town. They warned me it may be low, but I am anxious to see the numbers. Not, as my sister pointed out, that it will change anything -- but it will give me something else to obsess over. Merry Christmas, ya'll!)

  5. Congrats on the very best Christmas EVER!!! I peed on 8 sticks when I found out I was pregnant this last time. 8 total. We're just OCD. It's ok, everyone. Nothing to see here! *sigh* At work, they made fun of me and said I'd be in the news: Nurse delivers own baby from being too neurotic. Yep, that's me. Obsess and enjoy, I say! On a serious note, I'm so excited for you, sweetheart. You deserve this in the worst/best way.

  12. Congrats! What a miracle to find out right beore Christmas!

    The FRER are easier to read when compared to like an internet cheapie or Dollar Tree, but it's amazing how little hcg they ALL pick up now. I did the same thing this week with taking a million tests and buying them just to see the different ones. I haven't done a digital, yet, maybe I'll do one tonight!
