POAS Addict!

Those little bastards need a warning label on them - Warning: if you are currently in the middle of a IVF cycle, you are only allowed to purchase 3 tests.

I had purchased a box of these devil pee sticks and told myself I would wait to as close as my Beta as possible before I use them. HA, that's a joke. It was Day 4 - which I clearly know is TOO soon to test, but had to get that urge out of my system. As I predicted stark white, which was okay.

Spent the following day at my parents house - since it was going to be gorgeous out the last thing I wanted to do was be stuck indoors cleaning and doing laundry. By the time I got home I felt the itch again...I could hear them calling me...so of course, I did.


Hello ladies and gentlemen we have a faint line! I was in shock! With Bug I didn't get a positive until Day 7. I couldn't wait for hubs to get home and of course,he was running late. I was getting ready to do the dreaded PIO when I heard him pull into the driveway. I handed Bug the pee stick (cleaned of course) and she walked right over to him. He looked at it, then me and goes: so it's negative? UM NO........squint your eyes and you will see it! He finally saw it and was thrilled.

Beta was Tuesday and I felt pretty good going in. Shortly after I arrived at work 'that number' was calling. It was a nurse I have never dealt with and hope I never have to. She told me my number was 73, that I was pregnant, that it was a good number (even though she told me after I asked that they like to see it around 100 at this point), to continue my meds and to come back in Thursday for second Beta. End of conversation. No congratulations - no excitement in her voice - just cold. So of course my heart sank a little, but after speaking with my girls and meeting with Dr. Google - 73 is a really good number for being tested 8dp5dt.

I continued with my addiction until this morning......I quit cold turkey :) The line is as dark as it's going to get so now all I can do is pray my numbers keep doubling.
