The older my children get, I find myself...with increasing frequency, starting sentences with a phrase I thought I’d never say: “When I was your age…” Yup, nothing says you’re old like those words, which have been uttered by old people since the Industrial Revolution.
Usually, “when I was your age” serves as a cop-out for my cheapness. I say things like, “When I was your age, I only had two shoes” (commonly known as one pair), or “When I was your age, we only had four channels, and one of them was in French.”
But there is one statement that I wish to shout from a roof top. It is: “When I was your age, the toys were better.” If you look at some of the top toys on this years Christmas wish lists, you see cheap plastic crap that I am loathe to buy for Lochlan.
I miss the toys of my childhood, all of which I wish my parents still had. Yes, with five children, had they kept our toys, they would now have a moderate-sized toy collection, a Narnia closet leading to Fisher Price Land, that would …
I would say yes since implantation usually happens 6~12 days. I am still at total loss for positive tests though.
ReplyDeletesooo weird. the earliest i have ever heard of a positive hpt is 9dpo, and some not until 12, so I am holding out hope for you!
ReplyDeleteIt's WAY too early unless your ovulation dates are off. If you are testing put a trigger I would say test away at 6dpo, otherwise stay away from the pee sticks until at least 9dpo. It would probably avoid such confusion in the future. I know it's addicting though...
ReplyDeleteYes...I think you shouldnt consider yourself out until AF shows.
ReplyDeleteWhat Toni said. Implantation occurs at around day 6, and it takes up to 2 days for the embryo to make enough HCG to show up. That is on a blood test. BUT you had two positive pregnancy tests...so maybe they picked up on ovulation? There is a web site that may have an explanation, I think it's called peeonastick dot com?
ReplyDeleteTotally way to early for a blood test, like all the others have said. Holding onto hope for you!!!
ReplyDeleteDo we have an update yet?? :)
ReplyDeleteHuh. Seems a little early but you never know. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteYour sure it was hcg not progesterone? Any news?
ReplyDeleteI was pretty sure that HPT only pick up HCG and not progesterone. In all my IVF cycles I never saw a positive test and I was on lots of extra progesterone.
DeleteThis is some serious craziness, Janet. Do you have an update?
