False Pos HPT, Neg Beta - thanks/question

November 30, 2005

Thanks to , Amber, , Gabi, Miriam (from ttc site) and

for your thoughts - Monday was a hard day. Would have been

hard for ANY woman, I'm sure, but when you're spending thousands and

giving so much emotional energy, a false positive sure does hurt

after so many failed cycles.

I wonder if anyone has any thoughts about " false posivies " and what

they actually are. I'm not sure it's really " false " , it just didn't

last.

Does anyone think that there MUST have been a conception for me to

get a BFP on the DIGITAL Clearblue test (no evap lines,

just " PREGNANT " on the readout) and it just didn't implant right, or

something else went wrong? I'm thinking/hoping that's what

happened - at least that would make me feel we CAN conceive and just

to keep at it.

This was an IUI cycle, so maybe another / a few more IUI's will get

us there. It was my 3rd IUI, and although I don't think the other 2

were well-timed, this one was. If this did work, and just didn't

become viable, that would give me some pretty good hope.

Talking to the doctor isn't really an option at my RE, they don't

like to let patients talk to doctor, and the nurse who called in my

negative beta said the + test " must have been wrong. " I would like

to think it was right, from hcg that had entered my blood a few days

earlier but then stopped coming.

Does anyone think this could be correct?

Thanks so much - I know that we all tend to grasp at threads from

time to time, and that's what I'm doing now...
