Oh sweet woman...stop torturing yourself!!! I line is a line, no matter how dark...isn't that a saying here on the TOK board???!! The dye varies from test to test, so the darkness of the line may not match up with the level of HCG. Could you call your doc and get an HCG done? As for the cramping...when I was preggers with #6...it started. It freaked me out to say the least, and I was convinced many times that I was going to lose him. I think when we've had a few babies, our bodies just know what they're doing, and get down to business a little earlier, as well, I think we are way more in tune with our bodies too, so we obsess over every little twinge...at least for me that's true. Anyway, I really think it's going to be ok, you need to relax(easier said than done), and enjoy this new life happily, and obliviously growing away in your belly.
Hugs,
Andrea, mom to 9 crazy kids....including our newest edition...Felix Joseph Augustine
