3am is a mindtrip
I couldn’t sleep at all. I tried to force myself to sleep. At 3am I gave in.
And I said W.T.F.?? It was negative. But then… maybe something? I tilted it every which way, feeling like I was really trying too hard. I went back to bed and vowed to take another one after I actually slept. (I kept checking it every half an hour to make sure the shadow-line hadn’t disappeared. I kept it stashed under my pillow.)
10am, another one. Same thing.
So I spent the day in a kind of limbo. Is it a shadow? Is it a line? Am I going batshit crazy?
Is it, maybe….??
REQUEST: If you know me on Facebook, please don’t say anything there, we’re not telling family yet.
Girl, that is a BFP!!!! CONGRATS!!!!! I know today was Devin’s EDD, what a gift to get! I have tears in my eyes for you!
Yup. That’s a BFP! congrats!
That is DEFINITELY a second line!!!!! That’s how my test looked when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I actually didn’t believe there was really second line either, so I went out and got a digital test. Less than 30 seconds after dipping the digital test in the cup, it beeped and said POSITIVE. I’ve been following your blog for a few months now and am sooooooo excited for you! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
That is most definitely a second line!
OMG!
it looks like the real deal to me~
There is definitely a second line! And the 10am one is darker than the 3am. Congratulations!
OMG NATALIE!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU’RE PREGNANT!!!!!
I am so happy for you, I can’t even explain…..oh my gosh!!!
Congratulations Natalie and Den!!!
<3 <3
It’s a line! :)
Now I can’t wait until you can get home and have your beta!!
Oh I see it! Took me a second, but then BAM, its there!! Oh wow, I’m just beyond excited for you. Cautiously excited, but excited all the same. Keep us posted.
It’s definitely maybe.
It’s a POSITIVE!
Personally, I don’t like FR tests, they always give me very faint + lines. Go get a digital ASAP or Equate from Walmart.
Either way, you are PREGNANT! Congratulations!
Have a happy and healthy 9 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lurker here chiming in – my very-faint-shadow-of-a-line-baby turns 6 tomorrow! My test looked EXACTLY like that. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!
OMG GIRL THAT IS A LINE!!!!!
Congratulations I am so happy for you! Chris is looking at me like I’m crazy because I started clapping, dancing and crying at the same time. CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!
I definitely see a line. I really hope this is the one for you. Definitely keeping my fingers crossed.
Simply, tears.
I’m going to be the killjoy here and say that I get the faint line all the time and it doesn’t signify anything different for me. I am hopeful that is not the case for you though.
I should email you this week. I want to talk to you.
I definetly see a line. Hope it sticks!
Hey Jenn, that sucks!! I never ever see anything on my HPTs… and I’ve taken many of them over the years. LOL Only one that ever had anything were when I was pregnant with Devin. So this is significant for me!
Email away. I’m here. :)
That is a line!!! Oh, Nat, I am hoping so hard that you get real confirmation soon!
I am usually a lurker but I wanted to chime in…that is DEFINITELY a second line and I couldn’t be happier for you!
That is definitely a second line. OMG Natalie!!! I am so excited!!!!
I have been a lurker here following your story. You are an inspiration. There is most definitely a positive line and you deserve it more than anything!
omg you’re pregnant!!!!! thats is DEFINATELY a second line..omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg…finally.. i am soooo happy for you…you know what it was definately meant to be.. you are going to be a mommy…(well you already are…but you know what i mean) YAY.. i am sooo excited for you..this is just sooo amazing…congrats..happy and healthy 9 months..
A line is a line, and its about time! Super sticky vibes coming your way.
AHH!! It is!!!! It is so funny b/c mine was the exact same way. I always expected to be crying and uncontrollable getting a BFP, but then when we took our first test we had the same faint mark so we spent more time debating whether or not there was really a line instead of just soaking it up and getting sooo excited!!!! We took one in the afternoon and I thought it wouldn’t be a line at all b/c it was not my morning urine, but sure enough it was darker and so was yours!!! Congrats!!!!
I am so freaking excited for you!! BFP BABY!!
I’ve been following your blog for a few months (hope you don’t mind & don’t worry, I’m not a creeper or anything lol) and I feel so compelled to comment— that is a LINE! I totally see it!!!!!! And a line is a line, no matter how faint. I was praying soo hard for you and I had such a good feeling this time :D I absolutely think you’re pregnant, because if I remember correctly with your other tests, you were able to tell that they were BFN with no question. Plus, the chance of two faulty tests in a row is VERY slim…so I think this definitely means something! Can’t WAIT to see your beta & what happens, i am so excited for you both!!!!!
that is a LINE! i got the same exact line 10dp3dt. it darkened and darkend and the baby is now 5mos old! :)
it is a LINE i absolutely see it. YAY!
Not faint in the least, says I!
I would try it on a digital, but that does look like a faint line there. Staying hopeful.
3 words for you…
You are pregnant!
2 more words for you…
GO DIGITAL!!
There’s nothing better and more reassuring then a test saying “PREGNANT”
Congratulations!!!!
When is your beta?
That is a line my dear!!
Too cute you put the test under your pillow!! :+)
Lurking for more than a year, with only a few comments this far….what a wonderful tho g to happen today. That’s a positive…congratulations!
you didn’t do a trigger so that line is BABY!
CONGRATULATIONS! I’m in tears! So, so very happy for you – that is definitely a BFP! *twirl* Super stickies coming your way!
OMG! Another longtime lurker coming out of the virtual shadows to say that I totally see that line and I am SOOOO thrilled for you!
I see it…. I sooooo hope this is it Nat!
You know I don’t say this lightly, Natalie-I definitely see a line. And I never see lines. I will keep my fingers crossed for your beta!
Man, I really do see a line on both! Hope it gets darker tomorrow so you don’t have to drive yourself mad!! Congrats!
I didn’t read everyone else’s comments, but I am a professional pee-on-a-sticker and that is without a doubt positive. From another baby-lost maman, I am so happy to see those pee sticks!
I lurk mostly (sorry). But I feel compelled to comment. That definitely looks like a line to me. And the one at 10am looks darker.
I really really really hope it’s super dark tomorrow. I have been hoping for good news for you and Den for so long now.
I see both lines too! Yay! So happy for you!!!!!!
I see it… Even if it is faint. But, I’m so scared to be hopeful. I want to be happy and have it be so bad… I hope that future tests show better more obvious results, cuz you SO are the best mom and should have a happy and healthy set of pregnancies! (Yeah, hope got the better of this note, cuz, well, why not more than one where you can take your babies home!)
I have been checking your blog over and over for the past few days hoping for good news…and I’m so glad to see it! Congrats!!
That is definately a BFP! Your blog from 2/28 said you were having a beta today. Did you do that? I’m hoping to see a digital soon and a nice big beta result! Keeping you in my prayers!
Awesome (cue tears). Mine looked like that too and I nearly cleaned out the pharmacy retesting repeatedly to check! (that baby is 15 now and journery has been amazing). You’re on your way…
Definitely a second line there!! What great news!
I’d say that is a faint albeit real second line! Best of luck!
OMG! Congratulations! I definitely see the line. =)
That is a HUGE positive!!!! Congrats!
OMG girl that is POSITIVE!
Congratulations to you and Den! I am so happy for you guys. Chris thinks I’m crazy over here cause I started clapping and dancing and crying at the same time.
Congrats again. :)
I am a lurker, but have been following your story. That is DEF. a positive test. Congrats, I couldn’t be more happy for you.
I am so happy for you! What a glorious sight!
Woohoo!!! Congrats! More tests, more tests! :o)
If that isn’t a positive I’m eating my new shoes. That’s a promise girl!!!!!
Yay! Finally good news!!
Nat, congratulations!!!! How we have all been hoping for you!!! See what a little relaxing can do? Don’t obsess and just enjoy the next 9 months and forever.
OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!
That is a line!
I see a little second line for you there :D :D :D
awesome sweetie :)
Ehm Andrea, that comment about “relaxing” is possibly the worst thing you can say to someone with a fertility problem. I don’t want to spoil the happiness around here, but telling her that relaxing helped almost points a finger at her saying she didn’t do things right the other times around.
:(
I’m a lurker also, But wanted to say Congratulations!!!! I am So Happy For You!!!!
Looks good to me! Congrats to you and Den!!!
That’s a POSITIVE!! I literally have tears in my eyes. :)
CONGRATULATIONS!
This long-time lurker is definitely seeing a little second line there. Congratulations!
Natalie, I couldn’t read this time and not comment. I have been following your blog for over a year and am so so happy for you. :) When I saw those 2 photos I couldn’t help but smile. I am so happy for you both. :)
Megan – Australia

Congratz guys you really really really deserve this. I will keep ya’ll in our hearts and I know you don’t believe in praying but I will pray that you get this baby no matter what.
