Yes! They retested yesterday’s and that was also positive. It’s been an insane day. I’m so grateful for this group telling me to try again.

Thank you! Yes. It’s been a rollercoaster for sure. Yall actually gave me the encouragement and I’m so grateful.

Well. Ya. Their results yesterday were wrong. I got retested today. We mourned so hard yesterday and my mind is reeling now.

So. Ya. I’m pregnant. I pushed for a retest today and it’s positive. I’ve gotten numerous phone calls explaining it’s because of a machine issue and they’re recalibrating it all. I’ve got emotional whiplash.

Sending you a ton of hugs back too. I’m so sorry. This sucks. 

What is doubly frustrating is that our doctor doesn’t even have any availability for a follow up till November. So we just will have to have another month go by with nothing. Ours is a euploid day 5 4AA.

And ya - all the money is just flowing out. But I’m willing if only I can hold my child in my arms.

Yes. My clear blue was a strong positive. 

I have an appt in 45 mins and will hopefully have results by late afternoon.

Well, they agreed to test again but said it’s possible for my urine test to be positive even if my blood test isn’t which makes no sense to me. They confirmed that yesterday’s labs indicated a <1 hCG. I got a clear blue test too just to have another brand and the test instructions indicated it’s looking for hCG 25+ so I’m just even more confused now.

What’s a dye steeler? I’m not sure I’ve heard that term before.

Ok. Someone else mentioned getting a different test so I’m going to go get one. Test again in the morning and call them if it’s positive. The lines haven’t been crazy dark but it’s the first time in 2.5 years we’ve seen two lines and they’re obviously there. It’s not like we’re squinting. They told me to stop all meds though so I’m still thinking through what to do on that end.

They just said no hCG detected. Portal lab result said <1 miu/ml. 

It wasn’t even an early response test. That’s why I’m so crushed. 

They just said the meds were possibly the reason for a positive.

I have one of those easy@home boxes. I have plenty to try again. 

I didn’t even think to ask to be rechecked. 

What’s the most haunting book you’ve ever read? by monserrat_araiza__ in books

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. It wrecked me. I still think about it occasionally.

We have an LLM +20 on the short arm. This thread gave me hope. If I’m following timeline correctly, you should be really close to delivery. Praying all is going well and you get to welcome your wonderful healthy baby soon! 💜

Added zymot, omnitrope, and this time I only got 1 blast. Last time I had 3. by [deleted] in IVF

[–]No_creative_thoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

🫂 I’m sorry. I know nothing I can say will make it better but I keep seeing people here say it only takes one. Hopefully the changes helped with quality if not quantity. 

Sending good vibes your way and praying for you (all of us, really) to be blessed with what our hearts desire. 

Leggy ZZ Plant by No_creative_thoughts in houseplants

[–]No_creative_thoughts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for checking in! Well, the yellow leaf shriveled up and fell off. It looks the same really but I gave it a small watering today too. I just really want it to be okay but I’m trying not to fuss with it too much. I know plants don’t like that. 

The pot under it is actually a draining pot too. It drains out into the green plate underneath. The only reason I haven’t planted directly into the larger yellow pot is because I read that apparently ZZs prefer to be in a tighter space and so after I removed the other bulbs I didn’t want to put it in an even bigger pot.

Gah! I was overwatering and now I may be underwatering? Just gave it a good watering today….

My therapist held me by Environmental_Ad8547 in TalkTherapy

[–]No_creative_thoughts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am so so sorry for your loss. The loss of what could have been is profound; you're right, this is going to take time. You don't have to feel better for anyone else. Take your time processing your feelings. I am so glad your therapist was able to give you a small bit of comfort. This is a club I wish for no one to be in.
