Update to "getting excited..." thread

Good Sunday morning everyone. Hope everyone is doing well this morning and feeling very positive. I can't believe I got up at 5:30 a.m. on a Sunday, but I did. I just couldn't wait anymore, I had to take the test. I'm only 11dpo and I have never tested positive on a hpt until way past when AF is due, but I said what the heck and did it anyway (knowing very well that it probably was too soon). Well, the results were POSITIVE, I think. The line was pretty faint, but definately there. You don't even have to struggle to see it (but it is pretty light). I'm taking it as a positive. I'm also looking at it as a very good sign my levels will be up this time because I've never gotten a positive this early. (I'm so scared I'm going to m/c again.) I'm going to wait to tell my dh (if I can keep it in) until I get a stronger line (no sense in both of us being disappointed if I'm just crazy). I really want to test again tomorrow, but I only have one test left.
Do you think I should wait until Monday or Tuesday to test again? Do you really think I'm pg even if the line was light?

Sounds to me like you're pregnant! Congratulations!!! I don't have an answer for you in regards to when you should test again. Knowing myself, I would test the next day in the a.m. (but that's me). You mentioned that in the past, you got your BFP after AF was due. Can you please elaborate? I am 2 days late, was feeling symptoms but got a BFN up until 1 day before AF was due. I am feeling to discouraged to test again because I don't want to see another BFN. I am curious though. Is it possible that even with early response it wont show positive for some women until AFTER AF is due?
I wish you a very H & H 9 months!! I am very excited for you. Try not to stress about a possible m/c. Think positive! Everyone reading your post will be praying and throwing positive vibes your way. Have a great day and enjoy it!!

If you are 2 days late, I'd test again if it was me. I know you're worried about seeing the BFN again. But when I got pg with my dd (now 4.5 yrs), I tested with an early response on the evening of the 13th day DPO (so the night before AF should have arrived). It was also a BFN. But because of the symptoms I was having, I *knew* I was pg. They symptoms were the same as my previous pg (a mc). So I waited 2 more days and tested again. Even then, the line was so faint I was afraid I was imagining it. But later the OB did a blood test and it all came back +++++++++.
Good luck!

PS...I bet its a boy too, due to your timing...let me know if Im right! :)
From what I've heard, a positive line, although faint, is still positive. However, is there a remote possibility that there is still pg hormone in your body from your m/c and that's what's registering the faint line?
I only mention that because it's so hard to get hopes up only to have them deflated again with a BFN. I truly hope that it really is "new" pg hormones, not the old ones! If it were me though, I'd wait another day or two, just in case. (Well, Ok honestly, I probably *wouldn't* wait. I'd try to tell myself that logically I should wait, but I don't have very good will power).
I'll be thinking +++++++++ vibes for you!

Ellen, yes, with with my ds I didn't test positive until almost 2 weeks past AF and with my last pregnancy (m/c) I didn't test positive until 12 days past AF. I'm not sure why. I would definately test again if I were you. You can't be sure when implantation took place so maybe the HcG level just isn't high enough to register on the hpt.
I think I'm going to wait and retest on Tuesday just to see if the line gets darker. I don't know how I'm going to keep from grabbing that test tomorrow, but I'm going to do everything I can. If it's darker on Tuesday, I'm going to call my OB to get a blood test just to make sure my levels are rising. I think that will ease my mind as far as m/c.
If I am pregnant (which I'm almost positive I am) baby dust is going out to all of you. I will post later this week to let you all know the results for sure.
