First Responders

First on the scene. Check out the lay of the land. Summarize what's going on. Make suggestions and recommend the next steps.

But what if it's kind of fuzzy? Well, not so much fuzzy as very very very faint. I mean, so faint that I thought there wasn't a line there when I walked into the bathroom to check (within the recommended time-frame), and when I picked it up and peered closer, there was the faint faint faint line.

Last time, there was definitely two lines, but one was quite faint. But still two lines. I tested a few hours later and the line was not as faint anymore.

This time, so faint as I said above. Could be one of three things:

But I don't think so as I read the test at the three-minute mark as suggested. Same as last time.

Possibly, I suppose. But if so, will my period come when it's supposed to, or will it just come when it comes? Whenever that is? (Argh.)

Hard to say. I tested the day before my period was due (period due today and hasn't come yet which is weird for me as it's usually there when I wake up), so it should have shown a definite line if I'm pregnant, but if fertilization didn't happen until the last time we had sex (Apr 19) then is it simply too early to tell? After all, that would only be 11 days. Last time it was 18 days when I tested positive.

So here is what I'm going to do. See if my period comes today. If not, I'm buying a test tonight and giving it another go tomorrow morning.

It's just so weird right now. Usually by boobs are sore before my period. But they're not. Usually I have mild cramping the day before/morning of. This time? No cramps.

Same with last time I was pregnant, before I knew I was pregnant. I had sore boobs. Thought it was my period. I had cramping. Again, thought it was my period. The boobs were sore because I was pregnant, and the cramping started at implantation, and continued as my uterous stretched. So I didn't know I was pregnant, I thought it was just that my period was coming but this was happening earlier than normal; the soreness and cramping I mean.

Very confusing. And a bit stressful.

I am so not a patient woman.
