Guest guest Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 hey melody, it's perfectly normal to be obsessive tester, i'm that way too. as for the story...mmmm, coinkidink!!!! maybe it's a sign!!!!! aka mom2ben99 Gastric Bypass-Lap RNY 3/12/04-Dr Dunshee in Topeka Ks. Baby boy due 2/17/05-Shanndon original wt. 342/current wt. 206/goal wt. 140 The obsessive tester and another funny story Hey everyone... OK. So I'm an obsessive tester. I confess. I took my first pregnancy test on Monday the 15th. That was 5 days before I should have gotten my period. As you know, it came back positive. It was very faint, but positive none the less. Then, just to " make sure, " I took another test on Wednesday...and this time I took it right away in the morning instead of the afternoon. You guessed it...it came back positive again...and a bit darker this time. So, I promised myself I wouldn't do it, but Friday came and I HAD to take one more test. It came back positive again (is anyone shocked about that?? LOL) and this time MY line was even darker than the control line!!! YEAH!! I wouldn't even have taken that third test on Friday except for that night I had a dream that I had gotten my period and I freaked out when I woke up. And I guess after miscarrying in July, well, I'm just freaked out in general. By the way...I go to the doctor tomorrow for the " official " confirmation. Now for my funny story. I can't remember if I shared this with you or not, but I'm a little " concerned " (not concerned...it would be fun...but I use that for lack of a better word) that I may have multiples. I took Clomid this cycle. I'm 37 (will be about 6 weeks shy of 38 when I deliver) and I've heard that your chances of having multiples increases with age. And I know that multiples are supposed to come from the mother's side of the family (I have none that I know of on my side), but my dh's mom AND dad BOTH have twins AND triplets in their families. It has to start somewhere, right?? So, knowing that there is a chance for multiples with me, even though it might be slight, this is what happened to me today. I was making apple bread pudding (have lots of bread and apples to use up) and the recipe calls for 2 eggs. I broke the first egg and guess what I saw?? It was a " double yolker. " I called my husband up to look at it. He just smiled. Then he made some comment about the second egg having 2 yolks as well. I just laughed and said, " Yeh, right. It's weird enough to have ONE egg like that. " Well, I broke open the second egg and, you guessed it, it had two yolks as well. OH MY GOODNESS!!! Now I know that's not really a sign, but isn't that WEIRD??? I just laughed. I had used over half of this carton of eggs already and didn't have any other doubles, so I just thought it was a bit odd. Thanks for listening to me ramble and share my story. You guys are the best. Love and peace...

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 That is a cute story. I always loved finding the double yolked eggs on my Great-Grandma's farm when I was younger. She had chickens and all the other farm animals. Congrats on the pregnancy! Herlean --- mnmkids4@... wrote: > Hey everyone... > OK. So I'm an obsessive tester.
