After we told our parents about the good news, we, well, I decided that I should read more information on a possible false-positive home pregnancy test. Why? Because I'm neurotic. One possible cause of a false-positive (which isn't really false) is a chemical pregnancy. All the articles say the same thing, a chemical pregnancy is one where fertilization happens, but due to possible genetics abnormalities, it is aborted. But since it is so early, it looks like a late period. Since it has only been 4 days since P-Day, I started to panic. What if this is what it is. I am 33 after all. Not a spring chicken anymore. And the percentage of women having a chemical pregnancy is 75%. Why should I be so lucky? 3 hours and 200 articles later, I chastised BWB for convincing me to tell our parents so early. If it turns out to be a chemical pregnancy, they will all be crushed.
I decided that I will test again tomorrow. And call the doctor to get a blood test to be sure on Tuesday. I'm definitely asking for a qualitative blood test -- gives the units of hGC.
