So I had to be in work by 5am this morning. At 5:20 I hurt my back so I went to the ER. I ended up spraining a muscle in my back.
thats the bad news....
THE GOOD NEWS...
Is at the hospital I told them I was trying and could possibly be in the early stages of pregnancy... So they did a blood test on me (to see if they could take the XRAY or not.) My HGC levels were high!!! Not like tremendously high, (I think like 25 or 27) but high enough that they wouldnt do the xray or give me antying stronger than extra strength tylenol...!!!!
So now, because Im possibly prego, my back is in excruciating pain!! BUt IDC I hope I am!!

ROTFLMAO I'm sorry about your back, but it sounds to me like you got your BPF without peeing! Now that is talent.
But go POAS just to say you did it =)
Congrats!!!!

OMG I've fallen from TTC grace...but if you have an HCG level of more than 5...you are pregnant =) Right? (Again, heard it and can't remember where...but I'm pretty sure I'm correct!)

OMG!! Congratulations. Most HPTs measure HCG of about 15. So, my question is, why haven't you POAS yet??? We need to see this.

Thats totally awesome news but I have to ask one question. Did they test your levels after your loss to make sure they were below 5?
Just wanted to say I didn't mean to come off sounding mean or rude just asking about the levels

Congratulations!!! That's wonderful news! With my first baby my HCG was 51 at 11DPO. If you're already 25 and it doubles every other day at around 8DPO (according to your ticker) you're sounding right in line to be pregnant!  That's wonderful news!

Could just have been the sensitivity of the test. I would stick to your plan and wait a few more days. According to your ticker you have long cycles? is that always the case or just wanted that on there becasue 33 is one of your longer cycles? If you are 9DPO then testing at 14-15DPO will be like missing your period so that is only another 5-6 days and not the almost 2 weeks you are waiting.

It def depends on the test you use - if your level is right at 25 and your pee isn't all that concentrated - a early test might not pick it up. Just wait a few days! Yes, anything over 5 is a Positive! Give it a few days to let your hcg go up and then try an early result test. Good luck hun!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!
