Ok so yes I know I have a problem! It’s just so hard not to test every time I pee! So as you all saw this morning’s test was not ideal. I was pretty bummed about it. I know it’s still super early and we have time but we all know I have zero patience. God is always testing me on this and I HATE it! I just want strong dark pregnancy lines already. So I decided to not drink anything or pee from 7:45 till about 12:15 for an afternoon test!

I also decided to try a different brand since I had others. So basically at 12:15 I couldn’t hold it anymore and basically peed all over myself trying to get it on the stick. Gross but true. The good news is my plan seemed to work! I got a good but still faint line by the 3 minute mark. I even took it to work to let it dry some so I could still check it.

So as you can see it’s faint but there and like a million times better then this morning’s. So I decided tonight to take the same kind of test. Obviously I was having good luck with them. So I rushed home for meds and pregnancy tests. Tonight’s test was also a crappy one… 😫😞😫 I have basically decided that my dumb dinner decision last night had negatively impacted my HCG levels.

I know that sounds crazy but hear me out. So we ate pen station and I always get the super greasy salty delicious Italian sub! Plus fries! It’s so so good I could eat another right now. 🤤 Well because it’s so greasy and salty I drank a TON of water last night. I just couldn’t quench my thirst so then this morning my test sucked because I was too hydrated! So this afternoons test I hadn’t drank anything since the night before plus saved my pee! So it was a good test.

Then what did I do??? Well I ate my last half of my sandwich for lunch and drank at work…. So therefore tonight’s test wasn’t as great either. So I’m not drinking anything else all night. I’m going to try my best to save my pee until after my dentist appointment tomorrow morning for my next test. let’s see if this makes an actual difference.

I took another test last night and this morning and last nights I can see a faint line on this morning and this morning’s is still super faint. I drive myself crazy with these things! I just wish I would produce some strong HCG already 😂. As exciting as this all is I still don’t feel super confident or comfortable until that line gets nice and bright quickly and I don’t have to wait for it to dry!

Technically they could be what’s called evaporation lines. I’m not exactly sure what the odds of that would be happening to two tests in a row but we still think about it. Also some pregnancy’s are called chemicals where the baby attaches and you produce hcg but for some reason baby stops growing and it’s basically a super early miscarriage. These are just all fears that run through my head. I try to be positive and excited but I just want a brighter test already. It’s also still super early for testing most people wait for a total of 10 days before they take the first test. So that wouldn’t even be until tomorrow.

10 days meaning baby girl was 5 days when they put her in and then we wait 5 days after that to total 10. I really love this little girl and want her to be growing and getting extra cozy in there! Let’s all start praying my hcg picks up soon so we can have a definite positive. I’ll post some more pictures for you guys to go crazy with me over.

So last night I wanted to take a test but ultimately decided it wouldn’t do any good because it’s so early. So I said I would take one tonight! I almost caved last night and J talked me off the ledge. Then first thing this morning she said have you tested yet! 😂 she is a bad influence. I knew it would be negative because it hasn’t even been officially 3 days past transfer yet! But it’s still fun to try. So I tested. Here are a few pictures.

Also remember I only have 8 of my favorite tests! Now 7! I have looked at Walmart multiple times and the dollar store and cvs and Walgreens!!! All the dollar ones are gone!!! It’s so frustrating. Like everyone must be taking tests right now or they shut the pregnancy test plants down. 😂 So as the test dries I go back to look at it because the lines start to show better once they dry well. I know technically they say after like 5 mins they are invalid but I have never had it show positive and then not be real so I just re check. This was some pictures I took after about an hour.

So at this point I definitely feel like I can see something and I’m shocked and excited! J thinks she can see it too. Ricky on the other hand swears I’m crazy and he sees nothing. Ugggg 😞. We then had to leave for the store to get school supplies and so I could check for more tests because well I only have 7 left!!! No one has any!!!

So I’m frustrated and mad that I just can’t find the tests I want. We come back home and look what I see on the counter. I was so excited and instantly made Ricky admit that he finally could see it and that I wasn’t crazy after all! I FaceTimed J so she could see in real time also!!!! So now we are excited and a bit shocked that it showed up so fast. Now we just have to keep praying that baby decides to stay!

We have an official blood test on the 31st! I’m wondering if we let them know I’m already getting positive tests if they will move it up??? It’s worth a shot. Don’t worry everyone I will continue testing to make sure it gets darker and brighter. That will show us that my hcg levels are doubling and increasing as they should. So I’ll test again tonight and tomorrow morning. Let me know when you guys felt like you could see a line? Isn’t this exciting!!! Let’s keep praying for baby girl. 💗

So I said I would keep you guys posted on anything worth noting. So yesterday once we got back to the hotel after lunch we got to sit down and relax. I noticed some little cramping. This has always been a good sign previously! Today I slept in a bit and went to lunch. Once we came back I started noticing more cramps. Honestly if I were busy or didn’t know what to look for I wouldn’t even notice them.

Since I know what we just did yesterday I really try to feel everything going on in my body. I’m feeling pretty optimistic since I’m having the cramps and I’ve always noticed them before as well. Obviously I have to keep in mind all the drugs I’m on also. They make your body think it’s pregnant so it’s normal to have some symptoms. Although for myself personally I never seem to really have any pregnancy symptoms! That’s a good and bad thing. While I love not being sick like so many people are I also struggle with knowing things are progressing and going well until I can have another Appointment or start feeling movements.

So after our crazy last minute disney trip. (That’s was incredible by the way) We got up at 6 am to fly right back to Florida for this transfer! We landed yesterday and once we got food and checked into the room I took a nap. Today I went for my last blood draw and they called to say everything was a go for tomorrow! So tomorrow at 12:30 is our transfer. I’m so excited and nervous as always.

This is why they make me take a Xanax right before the transfer. Tonight we are going to go out for a nice dinner and then hopefully I’ll be able to sleep well tonight. The weather was pretty rainy here today in Florida but after being so tired from Disney it’s kind of nice to just rest in our room all day. We also have a beautiful balcony and view. This room is bigger then the ones we stayed at last time so I’m wondering if we got an upgrade. It’s even got a little stove top. Not that I’ll be using it though 😂.

The pio shots are already hurting pretty good now and I’m getting a couple lumps. It’s so odd sometimes Ricky stabs me and it’s great very little to no pain and then sometimes its awful the whole time! I almost feel like he plans it. 😆

Also funny story the 3 girls that rode with us in the airport shuttle also came to Tampa then they were also in the Tampa shuttle with us. I thought it was funny and started small talk because well I’ll talk to anyone. They asked what we were doing in Tampa and I told them I’m getting pregnant this week!!! Ricky was so embarrassed and said the way I said it made it sound like we came to Tampa to just have lots of sex! 😂 😂😂😂 You guys I was dying laughing. I guess it maybe could have sounded like that! They definitely didn’t ask any more questions 😳. Anyway I’ll update tomorrow after transfer! I got super cute leggings for us to wear for tomorrow for some extra good luck. Please keep us in your prayers thanks for all my support.
