M! If you are reading this and want to be surprised on Wed stop reading now!!!
I gave in yesterday at 4dp5pt and POAS. I know some women think we shouldn’t do this, but I am with Sonya in feeling like it prepares me. Regardless of why, I did it.
I was pretty excited because I got a line. Albeit a very, very, faint one, but a line none the less. Yesterday’s test is the top one in the picture. Tested again today, r
eally expecting the line to get darker, but if it is it is just a tiny bit darker. Today’s test looks lighter in the picture, but it is definitely as dark if not slightly dark IRL. Believe me I have stared at them enough to know. If they weren't pink, I would think they were evaps. (My camera hates taking pics of pg tests for some reason. They always come out horrible. So, I darkened the picture so you can better see what I see IRL) Ugh! Just looking at that picture is depressing. Yesterday I was pretty excited. By the end of the day I had convinced myself that this was real. Today……well……. I am starting to doubt it. Shouldn’t today’s test have been noticeably darker? I am feeling pretty sad and missing Hans and Frans already. Which I know is stupid, I am only 10DPO and 5dp5dt.
It is possible that it is still just the trigger, though if it is my body certainly likes to hang onto that trigger. I triggered on Feb 1st and took 7,500IU. Which is 2,500IU less than the norm. For most people it would be out of their system within 10days on a full dose. I am 12 days past trigger with ¾ of a dose.
On another note; I have had extreme nausea today. I am fairly certain it is from the estrace. I took it last night before bed with the rest of my vitamins and have felt pretty rotten all day. Is anyone else taking this? Are you having any side effects? This stuff is crazy. Directly on the bottle is says “do not take if pregnant or planning to become pregnant.” So I googled it and found that it is category X for pregnancy and can cause birth defects. Does anyone else find this concerning?
Here is the only real explanation I could find for why it would be prescribed during with IVF “One of the major hormones of pregnancy, estrogen helps maintain the endometrial lining of the uterus”. It came from a discussion on About.com regarding PCOS.
I am all over the board today. From a weeping emotional, queasy mess; to grumpy; to positive it worked. I just need to know!! Apparently, I am not as patient of a person as I thought I was.

I can easily see a line on both tests! You won't notice them getting darker until you compare them a few days apart. I'm glad you identify with my poas-junkie habit! LOL Seriously, though, it does help me prepare, although a lot of women are against it, I suspect most do it and simply bow to peer pressure and don't talk about it. Don't freak out if the line fades a bit, there's just a teeny bit of hcg and like alcohol, other things going on in your body can affect the detection at this point. ((hugs))
