Hello, friends! I haven't been on in forever! I had my beautiful rainbow baby in November of last year, and I've been kept on my toes ever since.
Around my 6-week followup (those first few months are a blur, seriously), I got another Mirena IUD inserted. Some of you might remember that I don't necessarily have the best history with them (2 pregnancies + losses with my previous IUD), but it still seemed like the best option for us. As usual, I bled for about a month. I haven't had AF since.
I've been feeling a little pregnant for a couple of weeks. I had some old tests laying around from when DH and I were TTC, and decided to give them a go, even though they were slightly expired. Negative. Great! Except my symptoms kept getting stronger, and yesterday, after a week or so had elapsed from my last test, I gave in and POAS. I got a line. I saw one last test in my cabinet, and figured I'd retest with FMU this morning. Well, this morning, I realized my last test was one of the Chinese counterfeits I received from a bad order off Amazon (Amazon made it right, don't worry, but I kept the knockoffs because they did mostly work). I got the faintest of faint lines on it, but it could easily be an evap. Hubby can't see the line on it, and I can only see it if I hold it at certain angles.
I uploaded it at the Pregnancy Test Gallery.

The top is yesterday's Wondfo, the bottom is this morning's counterfeit. It's a bit easier to see the line if you use the invert feature.
Can you let me know what you think? It may be a few days before we are able to pick up some tests from the store, and I am freaking out. I just had to change jobs and now have a reduced income and no health insurance. We tried for our LO, but weren't planning on a second anytime in the immediate future! And with my history of losses (4 MCs), the thought of losing another because I have an IUD in breaks my heart.
