This morning I essentially got a negative pregnancy test. There was the faintest shadow of a line and it didn't really appear until close to the 10 minute mark. I called my OB to inform them of this given their instructions from yesterday and the nurse I talked to was less than helpful. I was informed of a few things. One being that they discourage their patients to take more tests once they get a positive. Um, ok sure, b/c ignorance is bliss? In addition to this I was told that HcG doesn't decrease as rapidly as is being reflected in my hpts. Um, ok, am I lying? I was told to wait to retest till the weekend and just come in for my OB appt on Tuesday. Serious hilarity and frustration with them.
Out of desperation to get some kind of answers I called our RE office again and got some more specific answers as to why I couldn't come in for a beta there. I'm an inactive patient with them since its been over 2 years and in order to be an active patient I'd need to come in for a physical, etc. Which essentially I couldn't since I wouldn't be seeking fertility treatment from them. They did however say that since my OB wasn't being helpful that they advise me to contact my general practitioner and that they should have no problem getting me in for some b/w.
So, called the GP's office and got an appt right away. They were AWESOME there and both the nurse and doc really listened to my concerns and it was without a doubt that they would be ordering b/w. In the mean time, I took a urine test there and it was positive which was SHOCKING given that I had a negative result this AM with FMU on a FRER. Yet I was getting a solid positive at the docs, mid-day, after drinking water all day. The only place to really go from here is to see what my betas do. I had them drawn today, with results to come tomorrow. If they come back positive (which I am assuming that they will given that the urine test came back positive) I go back for a repeat beta on Thursday.
To say that I have been on an emotional rollar coaster would be an understatement. I had come to terms with the fact that I would likely miscarry and now this random positive is making me question everything. Not only this but I have so many questions floating around in my head that really can't be answered till my betas are drawn and then till I go to the doc (that is of course unless I start bleeding).
In terms of how I feel. Well, my temp is still soaring. I lost that fatigue I was initially feeling and while my boobs were their sorest (I think) on Sunday, they are definitely more sore today than they were yesterday. OMG - I am losing my ever loving mind.
Beta numbers to come tomorrow.

Wow...what a roller coaster! Hope everything works out.T&P for you!
It is so hard not to over-analyze everything. I do that all.the.time! I am still thinking you are! Can't wait to hear it confirmed!
Sending thoughts and prayers your way. FYI, I had no symptoms with Aubrey. Took a couple tests, negative and then waited and waited and took one and finally got a positive. It is a crazy roller coaster but me and the girls are thinking of you and C and G. (And of course, Leo!!)
That is a rollercoaster!!! Thinking of you! ((hugs))
