Lisa, congrats!!! Looks like we're in this together, huh?

In regards to what Mary Beth was trying to say about being further than 3 wks along..... Today, I am 11dpo which puts me at 3wks 4days pg. So, no matter what cd you O'd on, you take the "standard" two weeks and add the number of days past O you are to come up with how pg you are. So, whether you O'd on cd10 or cd40, if you are 11dpo that makes you 3wks4dys pg. Does that make sense?

If you were only 3wks pg, there pretty much isn't any way that you could have gotten your + hpt a day or two ago because it would mean that you were only 7dpo today.

Did I make it as clear as mud yet?

So, no matter how far pg you are---CONGRATS!!!

OMGosh, thank you, you guys! I feel so welcome here... you're all so warm and wonderful!!!

I'm still nervous... I mean, I remember getting that faint line on a test before, only to get AF (this was in July)... so I guess I need to have definite confirmation before I'll rest easy. The Dollar Tree test I took didn't even register a hint of a line. So now, I've got one Equate where the bisecting line remained, even after the horizontal faded, umpteen more Equates that registered a faint line immediately but faded entirely, two Target tests with two faint lines (one darker than the other), and a couple that didn't register a line at all. I'm not putting much stock in the Equate tests, because they ALL come up looking the same, and then fade, so I'm wondering if that's how the dye is made.

Since I wasn't keeping track of dates, then I'm estimating LMP around 2/8 (because I still had it on my son's birthday) so that would mean that AF isn't due till the middle of the week, or even closer to the end. A whole week where she could still show up, so I'm going to take it easy and not test again till midweek -- can't afford to go nuts like I have been!

I'm currently up at 3am eating a pb&j because I woke up starving and having to pee so I suppose that's a good sign... woken up at 3 for the past 3 or 4 mornings, which is unusual for me. Also, my face feels hot and flushed all of the sudden, and my chest is tingly. So... I'm just trying to keep my cool.

I hope I'm not driving everyone too nuts with all this. If I wouldn't have had that chemical pregnancy several years ago, then my whatever-it-was back in July, then I would feel more confident, I think.

Thanks so much for sticking this out with me, everyone! It's so nice to not have to endure the wait and the endless questions/worry alone.
