a line is a line, yes?
So today is 12 dpo* and I took a pregnancy test and – guess what – it has a *very* slight, so slight you almost can’t see it, second line. The test and control lines are pink, and if the test line were any lighter, it seriously wouldn’t exist. I’m posting a pic here, but it’s nearly impossible to see the line in the pic (and yes, that is My Miserable, Lonely, Lesbian Pregnancy underneath – more on that later). When I took the test last month, it was clearly negative. This one isn’t so clear and it *does* say that any 2nd line equals a BFP** – even if it’s very slight. My BBT was above cover but low this morning, so I’m going to wait and take another test tomorrow. If it’s positive, I’ll get a blood test.
To complicate things, I’m heading out of town at 4am Tuesday to go to the East Coast for two weeks. So here’s hoping that, if I get a BFP tomorrow, I can also get in to the doc sometime that day. I *so* don’t want to have to wait 2 weeks to get my results verified.
I’m still in a state of shock, I suppose, even with the heads up from Pam last week. C & H at Now That You Know may also be preggers this cycle. How cool would it be if it happened at the same time? I would love to read about another’s experience as they go through pregnancy at nearly exactly the same time as me (give or take a day or two variation in the insems.)
*dpo: days post-ovulation
**BFP: Big Fucking Positive

holy s*tballs! I think I can see the faintest-of-the-faint line, too (when I zoom in) so either you’ve created a bubble of hallucination or it’s real! good luck in getting more solid confirmation before you hit the road – and now I have a little more belief in the slippery pulse!

Thanks, Sarah. It may well be a bubble of hallucination, as you said, but hopefully not.

Holy Tofu, Batman! I can totally see the line…it’s faint, but it’s there! We’re sending baby dust your way! How freaking cool would it be to be preggers at the same time? Amazing!

I’m with you…faint is still a line and a line is a positive pregnancy test.
Congratulations !

Here’s hoping that a.) it’s positive and b.) you know before you leave.
Let us know and have fun of your trip!

Thanks, R. Your comment came through right as I was writing my next post – so I’m not so sure now what’s going on.
