Starving, tired and waiting
I went in for my second beta this morning.
I should know something by three. If I do not, I will call nice nurse #2 at the RE and have her call the location where I had the blood drawn.
I am exahausted, unable to concentrate at work, and extremely hungry.
The weekend went by without incident. I had cramps and such throughout and no spotting.
I am still really worried. I am trying not to out too much emphasis on this, so that if it turns out to be another chemical pregnancy I can move on quickly to the next steps. I have a meeting from 1pm – 3pm, so if I can just make it to then I should be fine.
Right now I am snacking on some cheese, carrs crackers and turkey. I am considering opening up my turkey wrap and digging in. It isn’t noon yet, but what the hey!
I have been doing HPTs all weekend and the line is still there. It doesn’t seem to be any darker, but not really that much fainter either. I know this is a qualitative test and the darkness doesn’t really matter, but it still worries me.
Could it be that I am just so early in my cycle that the tests are not going to get darker for a few weeks?
I hope so, or something like that at least.

When I got my positive beta, the lines were barely showing up about ten minutes after I took the test. My second beta more than tripled, and yet the lines were still barely showing up and way outside the time limit. I had cramps through the whole first trimester. I’m wishing the best for you!!

some tests do not measure thje same units as others. So they very well may not get any darker at all. crossing my fingers!
