So a few days ago I asked DH,
Can you see two lines on this one?
And he said, "Oh shit!" (Same thing he said last year)
This was from 9dpo and things are still seeming okay today so I've really got my fingers crossed for this one. It's going to be weird though, to have almost the exact same estimated due date twice in a row.
------------------------ It's over. I could see it coming for a couple days and I'm finally forcing myself to accept and admit it. Thanks for all the well wishes. :heart:

Funny you should ask for an update!
Well, DH is unfortunately going to sea again in the near future so I went to the doctor's office today to see if I could get it confirmed. Well, their urine test came back negative. She said they only recommend taking their test when you're 7-10 days late which I am only 0-1 days late today. So I asked them to do a beta and now I just have to wait impatiently for the results. (BTW, many brands of home tests have been coming up positive this whole week)
So, fingers crossed that the doctor's office just needs to consider using better tests!

And they just called me back. My beta is only 35. I really feel like, that if I've been getting positive home tests for a full week that it should be 100 or more by now. And try as I might they wouldn't agree to repeat the beta again until this Friday. I wouldn't be too surprised if it's all over with by then.
Edit: Nurse called back again and said don't come in Friday, come in on Monday for a repeat test. I really wish my doctor was there today. He's a much better listener than these other people.

Oh Stella. I hope this baby sticks and you get some better answers. Can you try to call again in the morning? Why would they wait a whole week to do another draw? Shouldn't they be 48 hours or so apart just to see if they're doubling? And don't focus on the number, they just need to double sweetie.

The reason I'm worried about the number is because I first got a positive digital last Monday so it seems like mathematically the number should be a lot higher by now. And I really did try to explain that betas give better info when they are repeated after 48 hours but the nurse would much rather trust the doctor than me. I figure there's only two possible outcomes this early on so I might as well just wait and see.
I am going to have to pick someone local to lay my troubles on while DH is gone just so that someone knows what's up with me. Not really looking forward to that but luckily I have a lot of really supportive friends even if most of them are busy with work or children.

Moderately certain of my ovulation date. My ticker reflects FF's interpretation although I think that I could easily have ovulated the day before or after what it said. So anywhere from CD11-13, although my money is mostly on the day after what FF says, CD13.
Fingers crossed! I remember with DD, I was a week late with my period and even though the HPT was a bold PG when I went in to have it confirmed, the first test they did was negative. The nurse took pity on me though and did a second test using the same sample. Positive was the second result.
Here's to hoping you see a major jump in numbers after the next draw.
