Aaaarrrrggghhhh!  No wonder they tell you not to do a home pregnancy test… it’s such an emotional roller coaster.  I remember reading the blogs and forums when all the women lamented about how long the TWO WEEK WAIT actually is, and how many home pregnancy tests they took (daily in most cases!) and sitting there thinking smugly to myself “oh seriously, how hard can it be to wait two weeks”?

 

Last night I did more research online and discovered that the levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the urine don’t increase until after implantation occurs, and that implantation can take up to 12 days (which is the reason for the 2 week wait in the first place!).  Wow, I thought, there IS still hope for me.

 

So this morning I caved AGAIN, and took another test.  And what did I find?  Another faint line!!!!  This time I timed it exactly, and after 3 minutes, there was a definite faint line there.

 

And now I’m back to being all consumed by “what if” scenario’s…. oh, I can’t wait until Friday’s blood test results, which of course may just keep me hanging again over a long weekend until Tuesday’s results (but hey, if that happens, then it means that I’m actually pregnant, so that should be a good thing… right?
