No, I'm not going to bother. The tests aren't dark enough yet to make me feel comfortable and I won't be able to get a repeat done anyway, since I'll be out of country. I'll just have to hope for darkening lines.

I tweaked the frer and posted it in the gallery.

Oh my goodness I've missed so much!

Melissa - OMG! I am going crazy! The dollar store tests are REALLY hard to see but the FR tests are clear as day. Doesn't seem plausible that the trigger would still be here this far out.....

Nat - Woohoo for a little girl! So excited you were able to find out! Now onto naming and shopping! So fun!

AFM - I've been really crabby and short-tempered lately... Things have been hard since I'm not taking my medicine...my OCD is pretty bad and my patience is non-existant. Plus, my dad called the other day and asked how I was doing. I told him that I worked M-W (substitute teacher) and took Thursday and Friday off to rest because I was soooo worn out. He then said, "You really need to keep moving and stay active. The better shape you are in the easier your labor will be. I should know, I've had 5 babies." This pissed me off soooo bad! I'd love to "stay active" but that is not safe or possible for me at this point! I know he thinks I've gotten too fat but he should just LAY OFF! Seems like he'd rather me start exercising again to lose weight than ensure a healthy granddaughter. I'm glad his priorities are in order.

Sorry ladies I am on here a lot today! Don't want to be annoying.

Victoria- Had to comment on your post as soon as I read it. I know it is not easy but try to tune out comments that are annoying and that don't makes sense, even if they come from those that are close to you. I hate this! You know your body and you listen to your body. We know obviously that staying active during pregnancy can help in some cases however for me I have realized that the more I move around, the more I feel like crap. My friend had given me a pregnancy yoga dvd. I tried the 15 minute option and let me tell you, I felt horrible all day, that was the night I was crawled up in pain in my bed and swore I would never try that again. I had only done yoga a couple of times before that. It may have just been a coincidence that I was in that much pain that night...but I don't think so. So I have decided to listen to my body and rest when I need to. Plus working as a teacher ( I am one myself) from M-W, especially as a sub, while pregnant! I give you so much props for that, so mentally and physically exhausting!

Thanks for your reply Nat! Part of what makes it hurt so bad is the I LOVE going on walks and I know how important diet and exercise are in all phases of life. I really wish I was able to do more but my heart (and DOCTOR!) tells me I need to take it easy! Thanks for being so supportive!

Victoria, don't listen to your dad. You could gain 70lbs and if it's for the health of your baby, it's worth it. You'll have all the time in the world to get back into shape once you have your little girl safely in your arms.

*hugs*

I took another frer and $ store test tonight.

The line is a bit darker than this morning, and it looks the same as yesterdays to me.

In person, the $ store has a very, very faint line.

I'm holding onto hope that this is real. I know it's not the trigger on the $ store test at least.

Melissa - DEFINITELY looks darker today on BOTH tests! I'm saying that's a ! I am sooooo excited and will congratulate you as soon as you call it a BFP yourself!!!! BTW - Thanks for the thoughts about my dad! You are sooo sweet and I'm glad you are my friend!

Lis I'm with Victoria! Wooohoooo! You have worked so hard and deserve this BFP so much! Im over the moon! I think I might actually bust out in tears I'm so happy!

Victoria I agree with te ladies, don't listen to your dad. You are doing the right thing and To be quite honest men don't really know a fart in the wind about pregnancy! You know your body best.

Sorry I'm not responding to everyone I'm getting ready to head to bed, it's going to be a very long week. Love you all and Prayig for each of you.

Lis- Now I see it on the dollar test without even having to zoom with my cell! Are you going to do another one tomorrow morning? The frer is definitely not an evap! Oh my!!!!! Can't wait for tmrw morning!

Here's this mornings...

Slightly darker. :)

Last nights and today's together.

And the dollar store.
