NanceXToo Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 After five months of trying (and a 38th birthday in the meanwhile), I took a home pregnancy test today at 11 dpo... ...and it was POSITIVE! I had been having some spotting prior to this. And I recently stopped taking Prednisone and muscle relaxers due to a particularly horrible and long lasting episode of sciatica and I hope they didn't do any harm. I'm not even four weeks yet and dr won't see me til after 7 weeks- anyway please keep me in your thoughts that all goes well... That it "sticks," that it's a normal, healthy pregnancy and baby and so on! I am excited and nervous all at once, I just want everything to be ok!

NanceXToo Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Thanks, all. :) I have a doctor's appointment on July 15th. It's going to be a long four weeks. Every twinge will probably make me paranoid. I just want to hear that everything looks like it should, that there's a heartbeat, etc. Well, you probably know how it is. I appreciate the well wishes, prayers, positive thoughts, etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why won't doctor see you before 7 weeks???? My first pregnancy was IVF so that was different. But my last two pregnancies I always saw OB within the first month. As soon as I missed my period and a home test was positive, I made appointment and always was seen within a week or so of calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanceXToo Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Thank you, everyone. I had one last test lying around so for some reason I decided to take it this morning using first morning urine, around 6:45 AM (yesterday I'd taken it using second morning urine around 10 AM). It looked a little lighter/fainter than yesterday's positive did. I hope that isn't anything to worry about. ETA: (TMI) been having a little brownish spotting still, too, particularly when I wipe. It is so hard not to be paranoid about everything! Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassy Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I think the difference in shade is possibly more down to slight variations in quality of test. I spotted with all four pregnancies, and in fact with my second actually bled quite heavily for the first 3 months or so - he was born big, strong and healthy, and continues in rude health :D. I do remember being quite beside myself with anxiety at the time though, especially as I'd miscarried just before becoming pregnant with him. :grouphug: and best wishes Cassy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
