I can’t be trusted

My beta is Thursday, and the Hubs told me to wait until then to find out – don’t test early. I didn’t promise not to test, I told him that I wanted to test before then, but we didn’t actually agree on anything. My plan was to test on Wednesday morning, or at least Thursday morning before the beta. Then I found out that he was going to be gone for work. He left yesterday night, and isn’t coming back until Wednesday night. Left alone, a girl cannot be responsible for her actions… right?

I wasn’t going to test. I woke up at 4:00 this morning having to pee, and stayed in bed debating with myself for about 20 minutes whether I would test. I decided no, after convincing myself I wasn’t pregnant. Then I went back to bed. At 6:30, when I woke up again, I decided to test. First I used a FRER. I looked, and there was the faintest ever second line… But it was ever so slight, I thought it probably wasn’t positive. So I walked away. Then I started thinking… I realized I hadn’t dumped out my cup o’ pee, so I grabbed the only other HPT in the house. A CBE digital. It said the most beautiful word in the world: Pregnant!!!!

I’m dying – so incredibly excited, and the Hubs is not here!!! We rarely talk on the phone when he’s at one of these trainings – only text. And I really don’t want to tell him on the phone or via text. So now I have to wait until Wednesday night to tell him??? I told the dogs all about it this morning, but they didn’t respond the way I was hoping. So now I have three whole days to get through, without telling anyone, because I can’t really tell anyone else without telling my Hubs first! (Of course, I’m telling my bloggy friends, but for some reason that doesn’t seem as bad…) But I need to come up with a cool way to tell him when he gets home. Any thoughts?

Also, I think I should be positive about this. Last time (only time) I was pregnant, when it turned out to be ectopic, the HPT never showed up as positive until the day after the positive beta – 15 days past IUI. This time, the HPT’s are positive 10 days past IUI. That has to mean my HCG levels are higher this time – right? I know I should calm myself, and hedge my excitement as I don’t know beta numbers, and I don’t know it’s in my uterus, but I’m so incredibly happy. I really think this is it!!!

  3. WHOA!! Yes, I think that the fact that it's + so early is a good sign that it's not ectopic...I didn't get my positive with the ectopic til way late and my beta was negative at 11 DPO.

    Hoping this is it for you. xx

  8. Alex! Congratulations, seriously your betas have to be up over 25 to even register faintly. And, this far out from the date that's a really good indication of a normal pregnancy.
    I'd definitely tell you hubby in person. Any way you manage will be the perfect way to do it. Wooooohoooooo! Doing a happy dance for you just now.

  9. Oh my gosh! That's amazing news! I can't imagine having to wait three days to tell your hubby, but that gives you plenty of time to come up with a good plan for telling him. There's always the giving-him-a-baby-book method :).

  12. Alex that is great! I am very happy for you! Maybe you can buy hubs a onesie and give it to him, or tie a message to the dogs. or buy some baby food and serve it to him for dinner and tell him that in 9 months he'll be getting this alllll over his shirts :) Whatever way you tell him, it will be great!
