A little darker

There were still 2 lines on the hpt this morning. You can only guess how many times a day I have held the hpts in my hand and stared at the 2 glorious lines. I just looked online at the photos from 11-07, and today's looks very comparable to the one at 8dp6dt that time (which would be the same as tomorrow in terms of days past retrieval). I see that when the line got MUCH darker (as in darker than the control line) was 18dpo last time. That's what I'll be on Sunday. So that helps me keep my expectations in check so I won't be disappointed if it's not super dark on say Thursday. My heartburn went away. I just had it 2 days. I would say my only "symptoms" lately have been that I am more prone to nausea especially in a car or bus AND that I am very, very hungry in the mornings. Also I notice that if I don't eat when I get hungry, I progress to feeling nauseous sooner than usual. I am expecting the heartburn to reappear and stick around, but I would LOVE to be wrong and not have it the whole 8 months this time around (well actually 7 months last time since Nadia came about 1 month early). I am still just SOOOO glad that I am pregnant. I am of course anxious for the Betas and also the ultrasound so we know how many babies are growing in there. I will say I am praying about 100 times a day (at least) these days. I have been "praying without ceasing" - that the baby or babies would keep growing and hang on tight!! Well I'd write more, but the mosquitoes are eating me alive out here where they have the computers (it's free at least which is nice). So I'd like to know who are the two people who guessed the poll correctly (BFP on Monday)???? Just curious... :-) I'm starting a new poll regarding how many babies you think we're expecting...

I am not familiar with infertility and related medical jargon-- but this sounds like great news! Wooo-hoo!

Ruth I can't imagine not knowing if I will be the mother of 2 or 4 in a few months!! I'm voting for 2 babies so your life can be crazier than mine ; )

I was wrong - I thought you would get the HPT+ on Tuesday. But I had not realized you would test on Monday ;-) and in any case I was happy to be proven wrong!

As for the number of babies... you already know what I think ;-)

enjoy your date tonight!!!
