Spot Remover

Well, today was eventful.  I started seeing some spotting late morning, and it kind of freaked me out.  I was thinking implantation bleeding, since it's been about 8 days since I think conception occurred, which would make sense.  But boy (or girl!), is it tough to experience bleeding when you think you're pregnant!  After lots of online research, which really didn't give me many answers besides retest or call the Doc, I decided to purchase another home pregnancy test to "double-check."

 
Yes, both tests have lines.  I know, they are pretty faint...
As you can probably tell from the picture, I thought I'd grab two different kinds of tests.  I don't know what I was thinking, "triple-check" maybe?  Both tests are positive, though faintly.  (Don't worry, I researched that too - even a faint line is a positive result.  Non-pregnant women don't show any hCG line.)  Lucky for me, I purchased two multi-packs of these tests, so I can test another 3 times if I want to in the next few weeks. 

I guess one concern would be a chemical pregnancy, which does show up as a faint positive on these types of tests but apparently goes away within a week or so as a normal period.  It's a miscarriage at the earliest stage.  God willing, that's not what I'm experiencing, and we'll welcome Baby LaTour into the world in a short nine months.
