(This is sort of a "dear diary" post so feel free to stop now).
When I first saw the 2 pink lines on a HPT, I was thrilled. It had been a long road and I really didn't think I had gotten PG that cycle, but being nosey and impatient I decided to test. Positive.
I called my RE and squeed to the nurse on the phone. The RE called me back and said it was a false positive, that the trigger shot was showing up on the test and not an actual pregnancy.
I can't tell you how crushed I was. Devastated.
Then the RE told me to test again a few days later. I ran out and bought digital tests, and took them on Sat 11/12, Sun, and Mon. I called the RE on Saturday but he was still skeptical. One year ago today, 11/13, I was convinced by the digital. I had done the math and there was no way a trigger could be present by that date. I called again on Monday 11/15 to confirm.
Monday's test was unmistakable. Then my betas were through the roof. 10 weeks later I was finally released from the RE to a regular OB. My life was, and still is, wonderful.
^ that was the beginning of Lillian. Amazing.
