Scared

This is not going to be the prettiest post on the planet, but I'm not in a pretty place right now.

Yesterday was so awesome. I've been feeling for the past few days like perhaps we may be pregnant this cycle so I decided to take a test yesterday morning. And sure enough, there was a very faint pink line telling me I am pregnant. Since it was so faint, I was trying hard not to get too worked up. I decided to try another test later that morning and so I rushed over to the pharmacy and bought one of those fancy digital tests. Let me tell you how fun it is to take a pregnancy test in the bathroom at work... notsomuch. Low and behold, the read out on this one was a clear "Pregnant" and I was at that point so excited I couldn't stop myself from taking a picture and texting it to 10 -50 of my closest friends. Nearly everyone I know has some idea of our attempts to get pregnant and I know that they were as excited to see that picture as I was to send.

Fast forward to this morning. I wake up after not feeling well (tired and mildly crampy) to find that I'm spotting just a tiny bit. I immediately decide to take every test I have in the house so I take 4 tests all at once. And guess what? I get 2 POSITIVE and 2 NEGATIVE. From the same cup of pee!!! So by now I'm freaking out EVEN more. The 2 that were positive are the 'older' analog tests where a line or + sign appears when you are pregnant. There is clearly a line and a + sign on each of those tests. The 2 negative tests are both digital and there is no line, oh hell no, it's a big fat NOT PREGNANT screaming in my face and fanning the waves of hatred that I have for my reproductive organs. And I continue to mildly cramp and spot.

At this point, I don't know what the fuck to think and I am so scared, angry, numb and distraught all at the same time. I'm sitting here in my chair at work wishing that I was laying in bed with the covers over my head. I feel like I'm going to throw up and I can't even be sure that has anything to do with hormone levels.

Stupid me, decided to tell people yesterday and now I am facing the prospect of having to tell them all that I am not pregnant. It's not like I'm crazy - I have 4 fucking tests that say the same thing. But those other 2... and this spotting.

I just don't know. All I know is that I can't think about anything other than the fact that I'm afraid this baby is slowly exiting my body and leaving me alone to face the grief. Again.

You need to post another blog about your not-so-scared-ness. Life is good.
