Positively Positive (8dp5dt, beta #1)

I'm amazed to say it, but I think we may actually be pregnant, my dears. Actually, positively, pregnant.

For now at least.

Our beta came back at 80. At 8dp5dt, or 13dpo.

Above the singleton average, below the twin average. This gives us two possibilities:

a) We have a high-strung, overachieving singleton brewing, like its father.

b) We have majorly procrastinating twins, like their mother. (not a twin, just perpetually late)


We shall see what we see when we see it, huh? At this point, I could care less (truthfully) as long as it/they are healthy and drama-free. The rest of our timeline includes beta #2 on Sunday (10dp5dt), beta #3 on Thursday (14dp5dt), and if we are stupendously lucky enough to make it that far, our first ultrasound at 5w6d two weeks from today (7/13, Friday the 13th). I am a fan of 13's, being born on one, so it's all good. I mean, if it's still all good then.

Always trust a woman that birthed triplets... Emily asked me if my pee smelled funny, as that was her earliest pregnancy symptom. Low and behold, mine smells like I've had coffee or asparagus. Neither of which have crossed these lips in a few weeks. Go figure!

No more darkening on the pee sticks which is driving me crazayzy, but I'll try not to obsess toooo much. Part of me is convinced our beta is already going down because why could this possibly actually work for us? I keep trying not to go there, but it is so hard not to after so much disappointment. I'll try harder. I promise.
I need to learn to not pee on my hand while collecting in a cup.


Knocked up. I'm still shaking my head in amazement. And gratitude.

  1. I urge you to stop peeing now! I drove myself insane obsessing over lines when I was pregnant. Nine months later, out popped my son. Things are fine, even if the line stays the same. Just stop and go with, "I'm pregnant and I have pee sticks and beta numbers to prove it!" And congrats!!!!!

  2. Look at those lines! I'm hoping for either, but most importantly for a smooth and uneventful pregnancy. Congratulations JM and Dr. Boy!!

  8. Lookin' good my friend! I am so happy for you! No more peeing - unless you want to pee on a digital so that one will actually TELL you that you are pregnant. I like those too.

    Can't wait to hear about your next beta! Take it all in and celebrate!

  9. Yahoo! I am so incredibly happy for you! The lines on my sticks started to do the same thing around this point also.... and we all know how that turned out- I have two beasts kicking around in my belly to prove that a line is a line :)

  17. Congrats! I'm really excited for you. I dealt with some IF issues (though nothing like many people out there, and I'm counting my blessings), and just got my BFP on Saturday. Had a beta today and things are looking good. Yet, the pee sticks are still saying it's negative. I desperately want to go out and buy another one, but I think I should put my faith in the blood tests!

You know you want to tell me how ridiculous I am...
