After yesterday's confirmation that I am, in fact, PREGNANT (I just will never get tired of saying that :)), I took another home pregnancy test just to see the result for myself. Since I had a blood test yesterday, I knew the exact level of HCG in my blood (which happened to be double the amount supposedly detected on these evil little sticks).
Low and behold, there is a line, but it is so faint that only me and God can see it. Same thing on the test this morning!! Accordingly, I am SO glad I decided to listen to everyone's advice and quit taking the HPTs on Tuesday! I would have had a mental breakdown by Friday had I continued! And that would NOT have been healthy for the precious little one growing in my belly!
Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone for your sound advice. You were all right that these little sticks cannot be trusted, and I have learned my lesson. Thus, I was in fact wrong (baby, you may want to save this post because you know how rarely I utter that particular sentence).
So, if you have a friend/loved one who is disheartened by a BFN on a HPT, give them my number. I would be glad to talk them off of that ledge!
xoxo
