The Peeing has Commenced!

I'm so classy. I know.

Yesterday the pee sticks were taunting me, early in the morning. So I gave in. I got a nice faint positive. It was 6dp5dt, or to uncomplicate things... 11dpo. So gratifying.

I held out on posting because I wanted to be sure it wasn't an evaporation line or something crazy like that.

At 1AM this morning I got up to use the bathroom and again, the pee sticks taunted me--literally begging me to use them. So, 20 hours after the first stick, I peed on another. I think the line is almost twice as dark. So lovely.
Sorry the picture isn't great. But you get the idea!

Half of me is beyond thrilled! Yay! I'm pregnant! It's another chance! And I'm trying to stay mostly in that moment and enjoy it while it's here. I'd regret if it worked out and I spent the first few weeks in a state of worry. Worry is no good.

The other half of me is trying to be level headed. Having three miscarriages in one year will do that to a girl. Am I just headed down that road to heartache again? Will I ever get to hear the heartbeat of my own child? Will I ever get to actually have my belly swell? Meet the child I've conceived? Please, let this be the one.

With all the hope and love I have in my heart, I have to believe that this is the one.

Now post those pictures so that I can properly obsess over your possible beta number. When IS your beta?

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

H&H 9 MONTHS!!!!!

kate said...

Woah! OMG! That looks like a BFP, dude! Go have a beta soon so I can CHEER over those numbers, too!

I so know the "caution" thing- I really do, as I am still early in pregnancy myself-, but I just want to tell you how incredibly happy I am for you. It's one of a thousand steps, but its a HUGE MASSIVE GIANT POSITIVE step!!

Sue said...

I knew it! and, it still is something to be excited about (though I understand it is just the first hurdle and there are a ton more to come...I've always been cautious too)!!!! You are pregnant....and you are on the Lovenox so it is something new...and that was a very very nicely dark HPT for 11dpo! I think you'll have good numbers...and I have a good feeling about this! I mean, it has to work sometime, right? I hate to say it b/c I've had a few m/c's too...but it seems to be a "keep trying til it sticks" thing...and you did. So, hang in there! This is great news !

Photogrl said...

Woo-hoo!

Those are some lovely looking pee sticks! :)

I understand your caution, but really just try to enjoy it.

Yay, yay, YAY!

Jendeis said...

Praying that this is the one.

I woke up this morning and thought the world just seemed happier today, and now I know why. Congratulations!! I know it's hard to balance the joy and optimism with your history, but the first, big step is GETTING pregnant, and you've accomplished that. Celebrate! Can't wait for betas.

Oh PJ. I have been very disconnected to the outside world and thought of you tonight. I got on to check if you had any results yet and I am so encouraged for you.

Sending my love and yes...Please let this be the one.
