Update: Turns out this was a chemical pregnancy. Thank you all for your love and support. Please stop by my "Nevermind" thread -- you'll see that I'm okay <3
Ready? Squint.
*Do not mention on Facebook*
*Do not mention on Facebook*
I got my BFN for my trigger 2 days ago on my Wondfos, and yesterday and today, I've gotten very faint positives. It's hard to tell, but Lindsay (LilHerndon) and Melissa (TnPhotoMama81) have been doing some work on the "progression" pics and we're able to tell that, yes, they are getting darker, even though they're still barely visible.
It's just impossible for me to believe that after all this time and so much trauma, that I would be pregnant after my very first medicated cycle. Of course I am happy. I have my moments when I smile, picture the future... But right now I just can't truly believe it's our turn. I can't believe it could be THIS SIMPLE. Meds? That's all I needed? I tried for 13 months for Drew, and I get knocked up my first medicated cycle? No way. NO WAY. My luck doesn't work like that. This HAS to be a chemical or early miscarriage in the making. At the same time, I am trying to be positive and bring myself to believe it. My doctor's appointment is Jan. 3, but I may try and be seen sooner so I can get the beta ball rolling. Maybe when I see the numbers? Maybe when the line gets darker? Maybe when I see a heartbeat? Who knows, but for now, it's a mixture of happiness and disbelief.
I'm BRAND NEW at TTCMA and don't feel right announcing over there yet. I wanted to post here first, and also in my old DDC/ PR.
So if you have any sticky dust to spare, the wee one and I sure could use a smidge.

Oct. 27, 2010: I held him in my arms while Daddy, Grandma, Great-Uncle and I sang him to sleep =( Hardest thing I've ever done...
June 14, 2011: Drew's baby brother or sister waved hi to us with a BFP!
June 25, 2011: Natural miscarriage... Can we please catch a break here?

Woot!!
I got pregnant on my first medicated cycle too. I don't know if it was the clomid, the pre-seed or just dumb luck, but I'll take it.
