I've been debating over whether to test my pee. It's a debate Noah and I have had in the past. My blood test is tomorrow, but I want to test my pee today. The problem is, my trusty sidekick, The Internet, says it's possible that the HCG from the trigger shot I got 12 days ago could still be lingering in my system, and could give me a false positive. The only thing worse than yet another negative beta, is a negative beta just after a positive HPT. Um, no thanks!
Last night I came home with some pregnancy tests that my friend (who still can't believe she is 9 weeks preggn...) gave me. I refuse to spend another dime on these things, so she generously gave me her left overs. I tossed them to Noah.
Me: Should we test my pee in the morning?
Noah: Are we really going to go through this again?
Me: Going through what?
I have selective memory when it comes to the years of obsessively making my sacred morning pee into a tiny cup and all over my hand. I have never once seen two lines.
Noah: Knowing you could get a false positive will make you insane all day.
Me: True. But if it's negative then we know.
He shrugged. He rarely wins in these situations. But I agreed not to test. And so we patiently wait another day.
It will be whatever it is. I know I've done everything I can. Our adopted embryo awaits us in Seattle, so we know where to go from here. And that's it.
Sending love and patience to anyone in the 2ww!
Thinking of you and hoping for good news!

Thanks for all the love everyone! I got through the day--pretty much. Blood test is best! Yes Tami! Whatever it is it is. It's out of my hands. I have so much appreciation for all of you! I'll get blood taken in the morning but it takes basically until the afternoon for results. That's the absolute worst wait!

Don't do it !!! If the HCG trigger is out of your system it could still come out negative on the pee test even if you are pregnant. I know it's hard not to obsess but keep busy to keep mind on something else:) we are all pulling for you!! Blood test is best, blood test is best, your mantra for the day!
