So I've been away from the blog for awhile, in no small part from the discouragement of having been sure I was preggo and finding out I wasn't.The weird thing about last month is that my body went haywire (appetite, emotions, energy level, and my period was late)--so much so that I skipped a trip to Chicago that involved seeing the most adorable niece and nephew in the world because I thought I was either throwing-up pregnant or something was seriously wrong with me. However convinced I was, no pregnancy test would ever confirm it and I eventually got my period.
Fast forward to this month. Honestly, I'm not sure whether I'm late (it's been 28 days since my last period but I just went off of Ortho Tri Cyclen two months ago so my body could be adjusting). In any case, I have been feeling very much like myself (e.g., no symptoms) but I took a pregnancy test yesterday and today, mainly because I want to know whether it's OK to drink since I am taking my sommelier exam next week.
And guess what I got? Faint lines on both days!! The pic you see is of this morning's actual test--the faint line even showed up on film, so I know I'm not crazy!
Now, I don't want to get my hopes up, but I don't think the tests detect the hormone if it's not there. I am thinking maybe I should get a different brand of test just in case this one is defective. But if it's not, does this mean I am really pregnant? My complete lack of symptoms is making it difficult to believe...
Any insight or advice around how to get through the monthly emotional roller coaster is welcome!
That looks positive to me, and that is a pretty reliable brand (I was in the TTC game almost a year, I know my brands!). I would run out and get a ClearBlue Easy digital if I were you. GOOD LUCK!!!!
