First off, I wanted to share my pics from Maui: Kodak Gallery: Adrienne's Gallery. Just scroll down to the bottom and click on the album.

Secondly, I might have some good news to share! I broke down and tested this morning at 9 DPO, even though I told myself I wouldn't. I was just feeling really good about this cycle and went with it. Here's my post from the TTC board: http://www.justmommies.com/forums/f2...roke-pact.html.

What do you girls think?

I just really want it to stick! I'm excited but incredibly anxious. If the test looks good tomorrow, I'm going to try to get in for blood work right away. We still don't know if I have a progesterone issue, so I'm hoping I can convince the doctor to check that along with betas. She said she wouldn't after my first miscarriage unless I had a second loss, but I just might have to throw a fit if she tries to deny me.

Please cross your fingers for a darker line tomorrow.

Fingers are crossed!

I don't know where to start!!! I definitely see the lines! I totally get how you are feeling though and Im hoping and praying this isn't a chem and this bean sticks. I also hope your doc will do your BW asap.

Your pics look amazing and you and your hubby are such a cute couple! And you are gonna have the cutest baby bump seeing how great you look in your swimsuit!

YAY!! Im crossing my fingers for you. Pls update tomorrow if you take another test and what your doc says.

Thanks, Lindsey! DH and I are totally smitten. I was looking at our wedding pics, which were taken in Maui 5 1/2 years ago, and the biggest difference is my wrinkles and about 30 pounds on him!

I carry my weight in my legs and butt, so I'm looking forward to a bump in my belly!

I will definitely update with pics of my test tomorrow. It sucks to not be able to be just super-excited the way I was the first time. Instead, I just keep thinking that it's going to end. And I have a backache, which could go either way. So I'm just trying to stay happy and hopeful.

I SEE IT! So happy for you sweetie! Praying for you that this is a sticky bean! Can't wait to see another picture tomorrow!

Ahhh, how so much can change in 5 years. Both DH and I are a bit heavier and DH lost his hair, LOL!

I said this to my best friend the other day that my losses have just ruined the joy of pregnancy for me. I don't think about it the same and that makes me sad. I hope so much that this bean sticks for you and you can relax once you see your numbers go up. Fight for that blood work and KUP!

First off I totally see the lines on both tests!!!!

KUP!!!

Second I love your pictures. Looks like you had a wonderful vacation.

I see faint lines and I am the worst at seeing them.

Also, I don't see why it's a big deal for them to test the progesterone. If you want it and insurance pays for it, then who cares?

L-SBB · #14 December 7th, 2011, 05:49 AM

2 lines - check!

an obviously awesome vacation - check!

welcome back Adrienne & congrats!!!! it's funny that months ago you called it that you'd get your BFP from this trip and you sure did! Tons and tons of sticky dust for you, i hope you & LO have a very happy & healthy 9 months!!

Well, I tested again this morning with my last Wondfo, and the line is just a tiny bit darker than yesterday's, though not much. I know that at 9 and 10 DPO, the lines aren't going to change much, but every little thing makes me nervous. I don't have any spotting yet, and I did at 10 DPO last cycle, so I'm going to take that as a good sign for now. Also, I have a slight line on a FRER. I don't want to take a digi yet because I fear those words, "not pregnant."

Since I have positives (however faint) on three different brands now, I am going to tentatively say I'm pregnant.

I'm going to call my doctor this morning to see about blood work ASAP, especially progesterone.

Okay, the first pic is of all three of yesterday's (9 DPO) tests. The first two were taken at 6am. The FRER was taken at 6pm. Faint positives on all three brands. (And, yes, I have a compulsion with taking apart tests.)

The second pic is this morning's Wondfo on top and yesterday's on bottom. It is a touch darker than yesterday's, which is nice. But it's not dark enough to make me celebrate too much. Time will tell...

And, yes, my pic quality sucks, thanks to my dark house and using my phone.
