1) symptoms: mostly still the same. nausea has increased. dizziness has become more of a constant light-headedness. but still feeling pretty much how i did on friday, despite doing practically nothing all weekend.
2) my early detector pregnancy test strips came in the mail.
i've been taking them since saturday afternoon, and...
it's a faint positive line, but it's a line. it's gotten slightly darker since saturday, which is a good sign that the pregnancy hormone is building in my body rather than staying stagnant or disappearing (which could mean maybe something has already gone wrong). so it seems -- speaking SO cautiously -- that i am most likely, at this moment, pregnant. not that this means it's a done deal. at this point in most natural pregnancies, women don't even know they're pregnant, and a lot of people miscarry at this stage without even knowing it. thursday, when they do the beta blood test at the doctor we will have a sense of how strong the pregnancy hormone (HcG) is, but even then it's a wait-and-see. not that i'm being pessimistic! i am very, very happy. this is the best we could hope for at this point. so i'm trying my best to ignore the crappy way that i feel and tell myself it's all for a good cause... the best cause EVER. yes, i will deal with feeling like this for nine months if that's what it takes!!!
for now, i will continue taking a test each morning and hopefully see the line get darker and darker, and thursday we'll have something more definitive to work with. eeeeeeee!
