We are excited. We're going to wait to tell everyone until the dr. confirms it. This is my first and his third.

I have to tell someone so...I figure you guys are the best to tell right now!!! Mom will die!!! I can't wait to tell her...just have to figure out how I want to do it. Hmmmm

George, my furbaby, woke me up at 6:30 this morning and wanted out. I knew I was supposed to test tomorrow and decided to go ahead and do it (I figured since the dr. said no O this cycle, I could go ahead and get started on my meds for the next one) Anyway, I put out the dog, and rushed to the bathroom. I HAD TO GO BAD!!! and wasn't sure I was going to get that durn package open in time to get it in place. I don't understand why they have to make those First Response packs so hard to open. Don't they know how bad a woman's gotta go early in the morning.LOL

Anyway, I did it and notice a faint pink line...hmmm and then a second line.....oh my....and they both got a little darker....well the control line is darker than the other one...but there are definately two lines. So I took it into the bedroom and woke up DH. He's like, "What?" I'm like two lines!!! "So?" "Do you see two lines too?" "I see something with two lines? What does it mean?" HELLO!!!!!

Anyway, he is happy!!! and so am I. He just kept saying if it's God's time then it is for real....HE wants a blood test first.

How soon can we do that???
