Say a prayer for my first beta today, ladies... I'm hoping it's fairly conclusive either way. I don't know if my ticker can handle a 'maybe'...been through that too many times!

Kristen- You know I'm and I can't wait to hear that FANTASTIC number!!


I am 5dp5dt. SHHHHHHH........... I POASed and I have a faint positive. I'm not breaking out the sparkling cider and cigars for DH yet, but I am encouraged. I know I still have a long way to go. I am very excited though about the possibilities.

Kay, I just squeaked with happiness for yoU!!! You are a brave woman to POAS so soon, (I will be locking myself in the basement or something to keep from doing that), but I'm so glad you got a positive, even if it was "weak" at this point. Woot!

Chantal -- for a good BETA report!

Hi ladies - I was out most of the day trying to stay busy but finally I am able to post... The doc called it a "strong positive" at 181. I had + HPTs leading up to it, but kept thinking maybe it was still the HCG booster...I guess not! OMG - I'm in shock! thanks so much for all your kind words of encouragement and prayers!

Kay, I totally know how hard it is to be blindly optimistic, but I think it's safe to say that things are going very well. It's so early to be testing + on an HPT. By the time your beta is here, you'll have a nice, high number! I'm so excited for you!!!

Hey Kay <Shelley says in her whispering voice....congratulations, looks like you are pregos!!>

It is early but a faint line is a really good sign, in fact I think a faint line means you are pregnant!!! I am happy for you and optimistic you will get a strong beta number!!

Thank you ladies! I really hope this little bean likes it in there and decides to stick around for another 9 months...

Kay, you have amazing willpower! I'd want to POAS tomorrow am for sure. (you know you wanna...Kristen says in her not-so-subtly-suggestive-whisper voice) Hang in there - your beta's almost here. Just think - you'll have a little secret birthday gift for yourself knowing your prego. How cool!

Kristen- I think I am holding off, not due to willpower, but because I am terrified the line won't be darker and this + will turn out to be an evaporation line. It is still early. I think I will have a more acurate reading after Monday.

Everytime I think about you I smile. YOU ARE PREGGO!!
