Everything was going along great and uneventful...then BAM!  I am in my 31st

earlier.  I mentioned it after getting a faint positive on a pregnancy test
at 11dpo, having my chart go triphasic (and I mean like shooting up .8 of a
degree), and AF hadn't arrived nor had any of my ...

My period is late, but a home pregnancy test I took was negative.  Can I
completely trust this negative result?  I am hardly *ever* late with my

Heart murmer is back and VERY audible. (at 14 days old-ish, a nurse managed
to hear a faint murmer. The doc listened many times but never heard it. I
was hoping it had just been a transient thing. Apparently not. She needs to

Well, Amie is now just about 8 weeks old... Boy does time fly!  It feels
like just yesterday I was crying about being uncomfortable and being sick
and tired of waiting.

I just found out through a home pregnancy test yesterday I am
officially pregnant. I had a miscarriage in August '04, (very early on)
