Before work this morning I went for my second beta test.
There was a new nurse helping out my favourite nurse.
My results have not materialised today. The chief nurse called me at 1700 to tell me she has not seen them yet and she will make sure someone calls me tomorrow.
Coincidence?
I mean, how often does this happen???
My twisted mind thought of an alternative once it had gone past 4pm and the reason that I had not yet received a phone call, was that my results have come back not good and the doctor wasn’t there to give me the news with a way ahead. Why am I so paranoid about this? Well over the last few days my symptoms have pretty much disappeared. OK so I know it is early still….but…..I took a test again last night because I was just not feeling right about it all…and the line looked much fainter than the other one BUT they are different brands so I probably shouldn’t really compare. However it was pretty faint and I would have thought my line be darker by now?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….I bet the new nurse messed it up and I am worrying all for NOTHING.
I hate that you have to wait for the results until tomorrow. Waiting is never fun. And waiting and worrying is the absolute worst!
There is no great way to pass the time, unfortunately. Just know I’m hoping you get great results and your worrying was for nothing.

hahaha! It’s moments like this when I love being a grown-up, we get to eat ice cream for dinner after a bad day!
I hope that you are both able to get a good nights sleep and you wake up feeling refreshed.

More than likely nothing to worry about… But waiting sucks no matter how you slice and dice it. I think ice cream is the perfect solution to a bad day too. Good on ya!

Ugh having to wait overnight totally blows. It’s not like you aren’t on edge enough waiting for them anyway. Sometimes I think those clinic forget what business they are in! Crossing my fingers for you that you get a great result nice and early in the day tomorrow.

I think it’s just a crappy day for that clinic. My clinic has a rule where nurses can’t leave without making a phone call by close of business day.
That was wonderful but did not prepare me for my OB/GYN. I’m still waiting the results of a glucose test I took one week ago.

Ugh, no!! This should just not happen! I hope they call you FIRST thing in the morning with awesome betas and a date for your first ultrasound (yay!! 😍).
I know it is really tough to wait. I burst into tears literally 2 minutes past our appointment time while waiting for our 8 week ultrasound Skype call. Sadly, that is not an exaggeration! Turns out they had gotten backed up and Elle was still in the waiting room at that point. Hoping that something equally as silly is the reasoning behind the mix up. Also, you can’t trust symptoms at this point! Your hormones are still being very manipulated so your body’s signals aren’t going to be as reliable as they might be normally.
I’m anxiously waiting to hear those great numbers! xx

Hope that distraction worked! Poor you. I don’t know what to recommend apart from food and sleep! I hope you get fantastic results. X

I could have written (maybe I did write?) this exact post in the beta phase. It’s the WORST when they can’t get you results quickly. I didn’t have any symptoms in the beginning other than cramping, which I was convinced was inevitably going to turn into AF, and obsessive-compulsively peed on sticks for daaaaaaaaaaays. I mean I probably used more pregnancy tests after getting a BFP than I did in the year we tried. What I can tell you is that the lines will ALWAYS be different. Every single time the line will be lighter/darker than a prior test. They aren’t quantitative tests, they are qualitative, so the line really doesn’t mean anything (as if that stopped me…) Hope they call you soon! I’m dying to hear great numbers 🙂
