Default I think I did it!

Some of you might have realized by now, that I am a POAS addict. I POAS'd at 3:00am (I could sleep, and figured, what the heck) and it was a BFN.

I was at the drugstore last night, and picked up some store brand HPT's (made by Inverness) in a 2 pack (yes, I blew through the 8 I bought at the Dollar Store!!!!!) So, tonight when I got home from work - I did it! I poas'd AGAIN! (I know, sucker for punishment) And there it was - a FAINT (allbeit) positive. If I can hold out - I'll wait a few more days to test again.

My worry however, is that last time I had such a faint positive - it ended up being a chemical pregnancy
So, no getting my hopes up until I get a nice strong positive or AF shows, (you know - which ever comes first).

I had to tell you ladies, I'm holding off in telling DH, cause I hate to have his hopes dashed once again!

Thanks for listening!

My Jewels....12/07
Where did I come from?" the baby asked its mother. She answered, half-crying, half-laughing, and clasping the baby to her breast: "You were hidden in my heart as its desire, my darling. You were in the dolls of all my childhood games. In all my hopes and my loves, in my life, in the life of my mother, and in her mother before her, you have lived."

Yes, I can definitely see it! If you're only 10 days post IUI I think getting a faint line is totally normal. Keeping my fingers crossed that the line gets darker for you. Wow, I can't believe all these pregnant mamas on here! I want to drink after you guys at the fountain!

I am still not beleiving this is happening.......

It will take every ounce of strength I have to hold off testing again until Sunday - by then, either it will be nice and dark - or - not there at all and off to round 2

Hey Kara,
My DOB is Oct 15/66 (we're pretty close - 3.5 weeks apart or so)
You had your IUI 8 days before me!
So, I'll be having my little one about 8 days after you!
(pretty close together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
