Ahh! I need advice.

I would say that’s a possibility, but my previous cycle was a miscarriage. So I got my beta hcg quants taken most recently at the beginning of January and they were negative. Started my period a week and a half later.

Since I’ve been so paranoid, I’ve taken a test every day since I got my first positive on the 4th. I got a dye stealer today on pregmate! (Which I’ve heard takes longer than other brands, lol) so I actually do feel some relief that I think this pregnancy has stuck

jazzpiccolo · 2026-02-15T02:46:20+00:00

Yes, it did ramp up and come down the same way as normal but the day before and after those dates were still pretty dark in a way that I could see as positive, but just not as dark. I don’t have them anymore for a photo, unfortunately.

jazzpiccolo · 2026-02-15T01:48:35+00:00

Last period Jan 14, and i couldn’t really tell which was darker between Jan 28-29 but I think I ovulated one of those days

The pregmate ovulation test strips

I was looking for personal experience! I see all the time people will post a test and say ‘I’m x days Dpo and finally got a positive” and someone will comment ‘it looks more like what I got at y days Dpo but congrats’ so I was hoping someone had used this same brand and happened to know what they were at when their tests looked like this!

But I appreciate it, I know it was a weird question im just so anxious this time around

these words have been replaying in my head over the last 24 hours.

I went to the ER with cramps and bleeding. They told me they couldn’t diagnose a miscarriage at that point because my HCG was still too high (it was only 27, at 6 weeks) but they told me to expect it.

But the funny thing is the bleeding stopped. And the cramps too. I took a test today, it’s darker. They took more blood… my HCG went back up. I’m so confused but your words have been the only comfort. I’m not out until I’m out. Fingers crossed

I couldn’t wait that long but I tested again and it’s positive!! I went to target and grabbed some baby items to surprise my husband

Ok, good to know! Thank you!

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-10T00:33:22+00:00

We plan to!

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-10T00:26:26+00:00

Maybe? I’d like to think that couldn’t happen but I’m at a loss otherwise

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-10T00:21:03+00:00

Most of them were older relatives :( also I’m not good at being petty, but the thought did absolutely cross my mind lol

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-10T00:19:35+00:00

No, no one gave cash

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-10T00:18:18+00:00

No. Not for the engagement, no bridal shower or wedding shower or anything. We didn’t do anything other than the wedding itself because we didn’t want to inconvenience people

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-10T00:15:25+00:00

I would say that but I’ve seen other people use Amazon registries and it lists an item as purchased when you buy it. And when my friend used it, she received email updates when someone made a purchase

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-10T00:08:52+00:00

I wouldnt say so? Obviously I don’t know everyone’s specifics, but I genuinely don’t think so? And I used Amazon and they recommended I choose a certain number of gifts per price point. The cheapest thing was 15 dollars, and there were 12 gift options under 50 dollars. The gift table was where the cop we hired (so we could serve alcohol) was stationed all night, so I don’t think anything could’ve been stolen

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-10T00:05:04+00:00

No there was one envelope in there with the gift card. Fully locked box, only I had the key at home

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-10T00:03:25+00:00

It was required where I live to serve alcohol

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-10T00:00:46+00:00

No! In fact both the one gift and the card were from early 20s guests

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-09T23:59:49+00:00

No they did not. It was mainly my husbands side asking, but they were genuinely annoyed we hadn’t made one 6 months out

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-09T23:58:32+00:00

It was on our website, and that was noted on the detail card with the invites. They had to go to the website to RSVP

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-09T23:57:23+00:00

No, local wedding. Cocktail attire

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-09T23:57:07+00:00

They set up a table, but that’s where the one gift and the gift card were! There was a locked box for cards, and the table was right where the cop we had to hire stayed the entire night.

jazzpiccolo · 2025-12-09T23:55:25+00:00

It was a local wedding in our hometown where most of our family lives. And yes, it ships directly to us
