This morning me and my IP’s are 9.5dp3dt. In English, this means that we are 9 and a half days past our 3 day embryo transfer. Most people don’t really count half and three quarter days, but in surrogacy you do! Oh, and if you wonder, a 3 day embryo transfer just means we put the embryos inside of my uterus 3 days after they were fertilized.
Yesterday afternoon I finally saw two pink lines on my pregnancy test! I swear, all this waiting in surrogacy is torture! But the lines were very very faint. So faint that I thought maybe I was just wishing them to be there when they really weren’t. But because I can’t keep anything to myself, I immediately called Shannon and told her the wonderful news!
I even told my momdot and facebook friends.
Yeah, I suck at secrets. LOL
As happy as I was, I could not get the BFP to show up in a picture. I decided to wait until this morning to hopefully get a darker positive.
I tested this morning on two different tests.
There were still lines, but they are still very faint.
*UGH*
Why aren’t they darker already??!!
I tried to take a video of them to see if they would show up. You should have heard me and Shannon on the phone while I downloaded the video. Pretty funny. We were both so excited but I was frustrated because I can’t really share it with her. They aren’t showing up on film! Stupid camera. I went to find my other camera. A higher resolution one. Maybe that will work.
Guess what?
It did!
Here is my proof that I am not seeing pink elephants…I mean lines!
Do you see it, too?
Awesome! That is most definitely a positive test! Grab a digital and mail it to the IP’s…that’ll show em!
Thanks Cat! I took all of my digital tests already. I have to go buy some more now. lOL
I see it! I see it!
Do you have a scanner? That’s how I got mine to show up when it was too faint for a photo.
I didn’t even think about trying to scan it. der! Oh well, maybe next time.
lol
So incredibly excited for you! I can’t wait to read more of your posts!
Looks pretty darn positive to me! Congratulations and good luck!!
I see it too! Pinky Promise!
Kasandria
I see it! Congrats!
Hey Trish, I am just testing out this other plug in to see if it will tell you I replied. Please let me know if it works or if it’s annoying.
Thanks!!
testing
Ahh….I’m so happy for you!!! Those are def lines! With Little Miss my lines were the same color! CONGRATS TO YOU ALL!!!!
Yes I can see em! I know how you feel about taking photos and getting frustrated because I remember that feeling!
That is so awesome! I’m so happy for all of you.
Great news!!
How exciting! I remember taking those pregnancy tests and waiting for those lines to appear…..
Oh yeah, I definitely see them too! Congrats, what exciting news! Wishing you ALL a happy and healthy 9 months.
That is so exciting! I think that it so amazing that you are doing this for someone! What a wonderful and amazing thing!!! So glad it’s working out!!
With my 1st I NEVER got a dark line – only faint ones no matter what test I took. Weird! But, with #2 they were dark from the beginning. I personally think it was a preview of what was to come. Daughter – difficult and hard to predict. Son – easy and always know what’s going to happen! LOL
Congrats to you all!!
Congrats on the BFP!
Give me a kick on this one if I’m wrong but I thought that your not able to get a Postive POSTIVE on a test unless your over 10 days after a transfer.
My friend used to do Ivf transfers and she said because of the shots that they will give a inaccurate reading on a pregnancy test.
NOt trying to ruin the fun (I see the linkes too- but if they aren’t getting darker…) but I’ll send extra baby dust your way in hopes that you got a sticky one.
and of course i’m the last one who should be talking about lines on a pregnancy test with my first never got dark lines even at 3 m pregnant
You are not technically wrong about the false positives. It does happen a lot in surrogacy/IVF. They are usually referred to as a “chemical pregnancy.” But I don’t think there is a specific “all clear” date that it doesn’t happen anymore.
My first surrogacy, I got a positive on day 6 and it was real. So we are hopeful. We’ll know for sure very soon!!
Absolute positives!!!!!
OMG! I got goosebumps when I saw that – definitely some lines there!
