Hi all! I go away for a few days, and so much happens . . .

Kristen - CONGRATULATIONS! That's fantastic. I imagine you could have some of your booster shot left, but I can't imagine it's 181 worth. You're !!!!

And then Kay (my bad role model for POAS!), this is also such exciting news! I know you have to wait a few days for your beta, but hopefully you'll be able to ride this good news all the way there.

I thought about you both a bunch this weekend, hoping this week would bring great news. I'm so thrilled for both of you! Bethany

Thank you, ladies. You are all such wonderful support and a source of positive energy. I'm glad I found this forum... I'm starting to get nervous about tomorrow's beta, worried I've been too confident. I'm so tired of worrying all the time! I'll post as soon as I get our 2nd beta.

I just got the best Birthday present..... it says "PREAGNANT" on my clear blue digital HPT. So far I have only used the line test. My line was so faint I doubted its validity, but when the word is staring you in the face....... I am believing it. I am soooooo happy.

Hard to have any doubts, now, eh? Since you didn't have any HCG shots - they only way that little devil will actually say PREGNANT is if you are actually PREGNANT!!! YEAH!

So, looks like we both GOT pregnant...now we need to STAY pregnant :-) If it's not one worry, it's the next, right? Ugh. My friend keeps reminding me that this embie is so much stronger than the one we got pregnant from with my eggs in 2006. I try to hold on to that fact...my embie and your embies are so much higher quality having come from donor eggs, you know? There's every reason to believe we'll have smooth sailing from here on out!

I am such a mother hen. Yes, that's right, a virtual mother hen.

I want to know how Kristen's BETA went today.

I'm dying to here how Kay's BETA goes on Thursday.

And now I have to ask.... Shelley, are you expecting two girls and a boy?

Lia, I do not know what I am expecting yet! How did you come up with 2 girls and a boy? I have a hunch that there might be two boys and maybe, a girl. I would be happy with any 3 healthy babies. I am not sure when I will find out what sex they are? My next u/s will be Mar 27 when I am 16 weeks. Do you think that is too soon to see hotdogs or hamburgers?
