Pregnancy Info HOME

Tansy- Yea I totally understand about still tracking ovulation. I did with the scope. Hubby and I would have loved to conceive right away, but we thought we just missed it because we were away for our jobs and didn't see each other until exactly the night we conceived when he got home. The 2 days before he came home my ovulation scope showed I was ovulating (or about to) so I thought for sure we missed it. We only had sex that one night also. 13 days later I decided to take a test... Why!? I don't really know. I think the only reason is because I had a metal taste in my mouth that I only had one other time in my life and that was when I found out I was pregnant last time. I was also on "provera" to jump start my period because it was 40 days after my D&C with no period yet. Well, I was given 7 pills, and I had a feeling if there was a slight chance we conceived, that ended the last pill would force a miscarriage... so, day 6 of 7 of the pill I decided to take a HPT. I didn't even see a second line and was tossing it in the trash when at the last second I seen a few pink specs in the second line. I thought it was my eyes playing tricks on me. This was even the 4 or 5 day early test and it was 13 days after conception so it should have been normal color, but it was real light, almost not there. I decided to call and ask if the "prover" would make me get a false positive and they said, no and to come in. Hubby and I went to the clinic shortly after and I thought my HCG would be about 20 or 25 since the test was an early test... and hubby thought 50.. To our surprise my HCG came back at 134. I got them checked 46 hours later and it was at 370. So definitely a new pregnacy. I have no idea why the test showed light. Funny thing is, on my last pregnancy it showed so dark and my HCG was hardly anything. I give up on the darkness/lightness of those test. Anyhow, we were definitely thrilled, (perhaps not joy) but concerned as well. We wanted to make sure it wasn't in the tube again. Since I only have one tube left, it makes it much worse. If I lose that then the only way to have a baby is IVF. And I don't much believe in that.
