More Like It (6dp5dt)

I took your advice, bought a First Response last night, tossed and turned all night waiting for the morning and then took the test at 6AM.

Within 2 minutes the line showed up and the best part was I didn’t have to hold it a special way to see it.


I am so happy to be right where I am right now. As I mentioned many people know about this cycle, but they will not know the result until Thursday. For now (although I am a nervous wreck), I have a little secret in my uterus – although I feel like it is in my heart.

Is a line a line if...

-It is on the dollar tree test?

-If some of you may see it and some of you may not but both Josh and I see it

-We saw it at about 6 minutes - the instructions say between 3 and 10 minutes (picture was taken at 12 minutes)

Next steps:

-Test in the morning

-Buy a better brand - what do you recommend?

-Cautiously hoping that this is real and I am not being fooled.

HPT Torture (5dp5dt)

This morning I chickened out and didn't take the test. I convinced myself I wouldn't last night so that I could go to sleep. So immediately after my first morning pee I started holding it - so that mid-morning I could POAS. So about 11 I squeezed 4 drops into one of the dollar tree tests. I went to prepare a load of laundry. At 3 minutes I only saw white so I took it downstairs, showed it to Josh, and said "Sorry, I was hoping to have a surprise". He held it in all different light and swore he saw something. Then, I looked and yes, I see something. Is it a real line, a ghost line, a gray line, a pink line??? It was just at 10 minutes.

During my last FET I swore I saw a line and I obviously didn't, so I am not at all optimistic. But, I know it is early. Very early. (considering my transfer wasn't until 3pm - it hasn't even been 5 days!)

This has to work, right? We transferred 2 high quality hatching chromosomally normal embryos. For crying out loud.

This post from Chronicles of.... hit home with me b/c I feel like there is so much pressure. So many people know about this - friends, family, family friends, work people, hair dressers, etc. There are so many people pulling for us I don't want to let them down.

As for symptoms. I feel off.....still have that pain to the left and below my belly button. And now my back aches. Oh, and my right nipple hurts. That's all folks.

Should I POAS again today?
