My husband had me take 27 pregnancy tests, he's still not convinced I'm pregnant.
My husband has been having test anxiety and has been making me test twice a day or more. I will be six weeks as of tomorrow and he's in a panic that I'm not actually pregnant. Now let me explain why.
June of 2019 would have marked four years of us trying to get pregnant. That includes fertility drugs, a faint positive that was gone a day later and many tears. This time my new Reproductive Endrocrinologist discovered I had a MTHFR gene mutation. It was addressed with Methylfolate, B6 and B12 and out of all the meds I've been on for all these years. It worked.
We went in for an ovulation check and there were two mature follicles that were at 22cm and were ready to go. We unfortunately missed the IUI due to insurance issues and an unexpected financial situation. Long story short we found out the first few positives we got were on expired Wofondo tests. In which he bought the triple check by First Response and the test result line was so dark that it was darker than the test line. That was a week ago.
Were now on test 27 and every single one no matter the brand, price or if it was taken day or night. Say that I'm pregnant. Now I was not on any hormonal treatments this time around, no trigger shots or anything. The only medical things I was taking are Metformin and Dextromethorphan and I stopped the DeX already as instructed by our RE.
He fears that somehow it's a false positive, or that I will miscarry. But all my levels besides the MTHFR gene mutation were great and no uterine issues as well. He takes so many tests to see if the line will get lighter. My first check up is in three days and the ultrasound is on the 8th of April.
Are his fears valid, what should I do?
