Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that! One miscarriage is one too many, of course, but I think it gets so much tougher emotionally after a second (or more). Are you going to the doc? Maybe they can offer some clues as to what's going wrong.

((hugs))

Saw my new OB yesterday. I actually switched to this doctor (and was planning to see him for this pregnancy) because he was on call when I had my first miscarriage and he was so nice and gentle. The plan is to go back in a month once the hormones have settled and test some of the more obvious things via bloodwork and ultrasound. The good news is I've already had one normal pregnancy, and I was able to get pregnant twice in three months. So we'll see.

This could be it. My period has never been this late before, but it still could come.

It's still not here, so I'm going to buy some pregnancy tests on the way home from work!

I do believe I am knocked up? That line is so faint though, but I can definitely see it!

coldandsleepy · **Posted:** Sat Mar 30, 2013 5:05 pm

That sure looks positive to me! Congrats!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a lot more common to get a negative reading if your hormone levels are low, so any positive is a good sign!

Yay! Take it again in the morning to be sure. The hormones or your pee or something are more concentrated when you first wake up and give the strongest reading.

Woohoo! That's a line for sure. Yay!

I took a digital test (one that you use later than the 5 days before the missed period one). Not pregnant. What? Whatever, I'm taking two more tomorrow morning. These were taken in the evening, not the morning. I don't think I had much pee left either

Congrats bastah!

LisaPunk · **Posted:** Sat Mar 30, 2013 6:59 pm

i was always told even a faint positive still means a positive! congrats!

sashi · **Posted:** Sat Mar 30, 2013 7:21 pm

How exciting bastah! Congrats!

A line is a line! I know it can be hard to believe. I've done two in one day because I couldn't believe it, but a line is definitely a line.

Maybe the digital test was flukey because your pee wasn't concentrated enough?

bastah · **Joined:** Wed Oct 20, 2010 2:43 pm **Posts:** 2013

I just woke up and did another digital test with fresh morning pee and... PREGNANT! YAY! Now I know for sure, but I still want to do another test haha

HURRAH!!!!!

Thanks, guys!

And I'll share what might have been what helped me get pregnant. This was actually the month that I had just given up and told myself I would probably never become pregnant. Earlier this month, I read about doctors saying to use the Diva cup as a fertility tool. You put it in right after having sex and it traps the sperm. So we tried it each time this month (at night and then I took out the cup in the morning). And now I'm pregnant! It could be a coincidence, but I'm not sure.

Tofulish · **Posted:** Sun Mar 31, 2013 8:30 am

That is an amazing idea! Its basically DIY IUI.

coldandsleepy · **Posted:** Sun Mar 31, 2013 9:54 am

Woo! Congrats again!

With E, I had bought a big pack of cheapie pregnancy tests from the Internet and I kept on testing periodically (for fun) until I ran out. It's kind of cool to see just how dark the lines get.

(With M, I took one Dollar Tree test and that's it. I found it the other day, which is weird, but I took it in the bathroom of a coffee shop and was then kind of in shock so I guess I just stuck it in a bag.)

TheCrabbyCrafter · **Posted:** Sun Mar 31, 2013 1:41 pm

Ooh, I LOVE the divacup idea! I'm going to try that for baby #4!

I know spotting can be normal, but it's freaking me out and getting a bit heavier. It started an hour or two ago.

Tofulish · **Posted:** Thu Apr 04, 2013 4:05 pm

Sending lots and lots of good thoughts to you bastah <3
