11 DPO – I’m… Pregnant?

My HCG levels are at 27 mlU today (11 DPO). I’m either pregnant or the HCG trigger is still in my system. I won’t know for sure until my second blood test on Wednesday. On a positive note, the last time I was pregnant, I had 27 mlU at 14 DPO.

BFP?

Even with this bad photo, I think you can see the second line.

BFP?

I held my pee for 3 1/2 hours before I tested at 4:30 a.m. on my First Response. A nice pink line came up immediately (no squinting or angling needed!) but I am still unsure if it’s picking up whatever is left from the HCG shot. A Dollar Tree test with the same urine yielded another light second line.

After the test, I almost threw up.

Pictures to come (of my First Response not the throw up).

Can’t Sleep

It’s 1:30 in the morning and I can’t sleep. Perhaps it’s the anxiety of testing in just a few hours or PERHAPS it’s the fact that I slept ALL day today.

After our 30 minute walk with the dogs today, I pretty much just shut down – sleeping through half of two, maybe three, movies on television.

I was also nauseated this morning, almost throwing up when I brushed my teeth.

Are these pregnancy symptoms? Symptoms of the disappearing HCG trigger? Or even the medication?

I started to get little stabbing pains on my right middle side – every 30 minutes or so. After googling, I discovered it may be a corpus luteum cyst. I coughed a giant cough later on that night, my side hurt like crazy, and the stabbing pains stopped.

Argh! I’ve waited 12 days! Why are the last few hours so hard!
