It isn't like they don't know you REALLY want to get pregnant. Give me a break already!<BR/><BR/>My nurses dismissed my positive hpts until I got my beta back. Oh yeah, you really are pregnant at a 282! Duh. The RE, on the other hand, took it a more seriously and had me come in earlier for my beta.<BR/><BR/>I am glad you were able to blow her negativity off and still enjoy such a wonderful thing!Staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471803757485977959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049084733820679890.post-376097837559094762007-09-18T10:54:00.000-07:002007-09-18T10:54:00.000-07:00Congratulations.It is funny to me that the nurse's...Congratulations.<BR/>It is funny to me that the nurse's were so negative. The girl at my RE's office is so beyond positive that it is annoying. I feel like I could tell her that I already started my period and she would still respond with "That could be a sign that your pregnant!" <BR/><BR/>Don't let those Debbie Downers rain on your parade though!!amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00679719974984886567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049084733820679890.post-75590191760425131592007-09-18T10:17:00.000-07:002007-09-18T10:17:00.000-07:00I'm sure most people poas beforehand, maybe they j...I'm sure most people poas beforehand, maybe they just don't let on.<BR/><BR/>Don't let her bring you down, we're all singing for you ;-)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454167446758199344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049084733820679890.post-15528101593206290542007-09-18T09:44:00.000-07:002007-09-18T09:44:00.000-07:00Sorry she wasn't more excited for you.

I think that they don't form bonds on purpose but sometimes you just want to slap them, maybe that'll bring a smile!!<BR/><BR/>I never have the nerve to pee on those damn things, been burnt way too many times!Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303045874725602201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049084733820679890.post-77994911995594510552007-09-17T19:31:00.000-07:002007-09-17T19:31:00.000-07:00oh the dreaded pee sticks, i am not a POAS'er.

When I called my nurse she was all "Stop peeing on sticks already." Like I was crazy or something?? I don't think 3 in 3 days is anything crazy. It may have been 4, but that's only because I thought the first one was defective. I think it's pretty normal to pee on those repeatedly when you've rarely (or never) gotten a positive before. The nurses at the RE's offices are in need of some kind of sensitivity training.tipsymariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01001979206200298238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049084733820679890.post-83439568406389746022007-09-17T18:28:00.000-07:002007-09-17T18:28:00.000-07:00Perhaps you should buy her a bedside manner as a g...Perhaps you should buy her a bedside manner as a going away present when you "graduate" in a few weeks...Mama Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828936673145226848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1049084733820679890.post-16675419332231913462007-09-17T17:53:00.000-07:002007-09-17T17:53:00.000-07:00I have a pretty good relationship with my RE.

I told him with my last cycle that it was negative because the pee sticks told me so. <BR/><BR/>He called me personally to tell me my HCG was at 16.
