5dp5dt


Still two lines!
Had a rough time eating a banana this morning. I love bananas but I was not loving this one. I had to force myself to eat it most of it, then gave the rest to one of my dogs. Ate an english muffin w/pb&j. Tasted delicious, but boy did I feel like crap afterwards. Still felt bad when I got to work, even turned down a Panera bagel!
I was little nervous about going to work. I was afraid I'd do something to mess things up. I was trying to be really careful but felt I was doing more harm than good. Then I started thinking about how silly I was being. The rest of the work day went fine.
Called the clinic to tell them I was testing positive. The nurse who called me back said that it was impossible to get a bfp this early. She told me that I was testing positive because of the Ovidrel I took on 9/4. I told her it was gone and she argued with me. She said it's way to early and there's no way it's a bfp and that the Ovidrel stays in your system for 10 days. I'll have to wait until 9/24 for my beta! WTF?
So, I decided to not pee for the rest of the afternoon and take another test when I got home. It's the one above labled 5pm. As you can see, it's darker. I find it odd that the lines are getting darker as the Ovidrel is decreasing. So, of course I start freaking out. Haven't said anything to E because he'll freak out too. There is no reason to tell him if I don't know what is going on right?

My reason for thinking the Ovidrel is gone....
For IVF2, we did 2 5000 unites of Ovidrel. I tested the day of ET on an IC and there was no line. This was six days later with 10000 units. I tested every day and never had a line until 9dp3dt and that was so faint I had to hold it up to the window. I went and bought a FRER and the line was a bit darker.

Now, for FET, I took 5000 units Ovidrel. Half the dose I took for IVF2. I tested 8 days after taking it and got that faint line on the FRER. Now, how is it that half the dose is still in my system 10 days later when the higher dose was out of my system after 6 days. I'm sure if I tested with a FRER, it probably would have shown up, but it would have been VERY faint. And the stupid line would not get darker!!
I'm so mad that this stupid nurse has taken away my excitement and made me even more paranoid about things.
The only thing I can do is test tomorrow morning and pray it's not getting lighter.
