so I called my OB/GYN....

[Guest guest]

since my PCP was the one who sent me for the urine test last Friday.

So I tell the nurse that I had taken two HPTs last Friday and last

night and both were positive and I wasn't sure what to do next. Her

response, " Didn't believe the first one, huh? " Then she scheduled my

first appointment with my OB/GYN for 6/14. I was certain they were

going to send me to a lab. Has anyone else's doctor just believed

the test and scheduled an appointment? She didn't ask me when my

last period was or anything. I'm sorry if I am sounding like a

doofus, but I've never been pregnant before. This " finding out "

process is nothing like I thought it would be. I imagined sitting my

husband down with a wrapped box over a candle-lit dinner and when he

opened the box, he'd see a bib that says " I love my Daddy " . Instead,

my husband and I don't know whether to get excited or keep " trying " .

As long as I am pregnant and everyone's healthy, I guess I shouldn't

sweat the small stuff, huh? LOL

Believe the tests!!! Congratulations! The bHCG hormone produced

after conception is pretty much the only thing that makes those

tests " positive. " It is vary rare to get a false positive, more

likely to get a false negative due to not enough hormone produced to

activate the test. Many doctors offices use tests that are similar

to the home pregnancy test, just different brands...some more

sensitive than most home preg tests...some aren't. So enjoy this

pregnancy and good luck!
