Re: Re: Metho Again????? Yikes!!!

[Guest guest]

Amber, Thanks for the input!!! That would be really awesome if that turns

out to be the case!!! Unfortunately, I've got major experience with

hpts...and the reason I use Confirm is because it's one of the ones that

let's you keep your result as a keepsake...and it's always the first one to

give me a positive even when it doesn't show up right away. However, I like

your theory better...and I hope I get to look silly and say. " Oops, I

goofed! "

This is just so much like the last 2 pregnancies tho...I should def. know by

morning when I re-test. Until then, I'm going to try to stay neutral. Thanks

for the positive thoughts!!!

...

Most HPT's have evaporation lines. What that means (although you

probably know) is that a negative may appear as a positive if it is

left for too long. To the best of my knowledge (and I am on several

infertility groups, and have heard this in many places), EPT is the

only brand that DOES NOT have evaporation lines. (Unfortunately, I'm

in Canada, and they don't have them up here). So, what I'm trying to

say is I am really hoping that what you got was an evaporation line.

I will be saying lots of prayers for you.

Let us know on Monday what you find out.

I had a really faint blue line one morning when

af was late, and later on that day af came. I had b/w

done anyway, and it was neg. I read my test after two

hours. So I guess what I saw was the evaporation

line. I hope all works out for you. I'll keep you in

my thoughts.

Wow, really ?!!

Do you remember what brand it was? This was my first time using Facts Plus

and it is the only one I've ever used with a blue line, so I'm a-thinkin'

and a-hopin' that that's just what I got-an evaporation line!!! (Altho I

didn't get one the first time I used it, but I imagine maybe different

amounts of " sample " may play a role???) I'm sure glad you shared that with

me. Might help me sleep better...

, actually it happened to me twice. I forgot to

tell you. The first time was with Fact Plus and the

second time that I told you about before was Clear

Blue Easy. Both had blue lines, but I don't know if

that matters. On the other hand, when I had my ep, I

had a faint red line, but I think it was more

noticeable than the other two. I hope you did sleep

better. Please let me know how you are doing!

, it is me again. I wanted to tell you that Fact

Plus measures around 100 (I don't know the units) of

hcg but it is one of the highest for the hpts. Clear

Blue Easy measures around 50. I got this information

from a web-site someone here recommended. I sure hope

things turn out the way you want them to. I be

sending some positive thoughts and prayers your way.

Sorry...I went against your advice. I am TOTALLY stressing, as the line is

getting darker and coming up faster now. I am so VERY afraid because--please

excuse the graphics--I have been feeling constant rectal pressure since last

night and a dull pain (with occasional sharp jabs) on my L. side...the only

side with a tube.

I swear, I can't live like this...I mean, I'm going to be sooo embarrassed

going back to the doctor again so soon after that last one. This is

crazy...it is truly embarrassing...I was angry yesterday, and today I just

wanna cry, cry, cry. If I lose this last tube, I will truly lose

it...honestly....

,

Don't stress yourself out too much, most home pregnancy tests will

show positive faint lines after 1/2 hour. On Monday have the b/w

done. Maybe you are about to start and that is why things feel

heavy. Hang in there until you can have the b/w done.

Hi ,

I totally agree with Becca. You shouldn't be embarrassed to go to your dr.

After having been through what we been through, sometimes you have to be your

own " healthcare advocate " . And Becca is also right that you don't have to

lose your last tube. My RE told me that even with one tube that doesn't have

to mean that if a woman got pg and it is another ep in their last tube that

they will lose their tube. So try not to stress out to much until you get to

your dr and see what is what. I will have you in my thoughts and prayers.

Please take care and let us know how you make out.

Love,

Sheila

[Guest guest]

, I am sorry that you are going through all of

this right now. Weekends are the worst time for

something like this. It gives you too much time to

think and worry. I understand your concern

completely, and I hope you call the doctor tomorrow

first thing. Please don't feel embarrassed (I know,

easier said than done), but you are rightfully

concerned and you deserve to know what is going on.

Please make sure you tell them the full story. It may

help them get the results back faster, so maybe you

can relax a little bit faster. I truley hope this

works out for you.

How many tests have you done? I might have missed it

somewhere. I knew you were going to repeat the test.

I'm sending lots and lots of prayers out to you!

Thanks for the laugh!

I dunno; I guess because it seems so unreal that this is happening again

already, I feel like it couldn't be true...but alas, it is...

Thanks so much for giving me something else to think about.

M

Don't worry about being embarrassed about going back to the doctor!!

Trust me, I used to live with a bunch of med. students. After some

of their stories - this is nothing to be worried about. For example,

they claim one guy came into the ER with a light bulb up his butt and

was too scared of breaking it to remove it himself! Now - unless

there is something else you haven't told us, PLEASE don't worry about

being embarassed.

You must be so stressed right now. I wish I could do more. I'll be

waiting to see what your bloodwork says. Even if you get bad news,

you shouldn't expect to loose that tube. More people keep them (when

treated early) than loose them. I hope I'm not freaking you out

more... Take care - you'll be in my thoughts.

[Guest guest]

Thanks Sheila...You guys have no idea how much that comforts me. I can't

wait to see my reg doctor tomorrow. I know this is not viable...I just pray

that I get to keep my tube...
