Maybe Baby is toying with us
I can’t sleep in today. Shannan is snug in bed and I just couldn’t lay there any longer. As you might guess, today makes it two weeks since I was inseminated for the second time. Throughout these whole two weeks I have been convinced that I’m not pregnant. There’s been no signs, nothing… just the usual symptoms that I attribute to my progesterone. I’ve been feeling super crampy too for the past couple of days but I’m not really spotting. Which is odd because I usually spot by now.. but again, progesterone stops that. I’ve been growing impatient and have been super nuts, counting down till I can officially test but the cramps were worrying me. Thursday I decided to again, test too early. I’m a glutton for punishment. Of course it said “not pregnant”. I told myself, eh it’s too early, you knew it would be negative, wait till Saturday. So, as for today’s test, I still didn’t really have big hopes that it would say otherwise.
I woke up at 6am. Took my temperature – 97.70. Not really that high, not really a sign of pregnancy. But I am sleeping in air conditioning now. At any rate, I peed on the stick, I waited three minutes, I looked at it and what did I see? I don’t freaking know! Am I crazy? Is my mind playing tricks on me? The slightest, faintest, second pink line appeared. What does that mean? I could barely see it, I had to hold it under the light of the window to double check. I’ve looked at it a thousand times by now and yes, there is a barely visible second line there for sure. Shannan couldn’t see it at first, I told her to adjust her eyes to the light and try again.. finally, she saw it too! Maybe we’re both crazy? Are we pregnant? I can’t tell!!! I still have cramps, AF feels like she is threatening but just maybe just maybe, my hCG hormones are just a tad low right now and I will have to retest either tomorrow or Monday. This is killing me.
I know it’s so barely there, I know.. but what do you think? It’s very hard to tell with these pictures, but trust me, in person, the second line is more visible.

can you see the faint little second line
