Do I dare join the grads? (UPDATE in post #24!!)

fromustobaby · #1 June 27th, 2009, 05:32 PM

Well...

The last month has been pretty hard on the TTC#1 girls, so many of my friends on here got PG, and then lost the baby so quickly...because of this, I'm so nervous to be posting here...but at the same time, I'm over the moon thrilled to be here...

My name is Tonya, DH is Matt...I've been on JM since December, and have definitely had my ups and downs on this journey...

Yesterday, I got just the hint of a BFP on a FRER-type...I emailed the pic to Erin just because I didn't believe that it was actually a line cause I thought it was a joke that a line could actually show up after getting so many no lines

Well, went to the DR in the afternoon, and my HCG level was 41...I was in shock!

So, I'm going back to the DR tomorrow to get another blood draw to see if my levels are doubling...I'm so nervous about it, but my HPT looks good right now, so I'm trying to feel positive...

I've been taking a lot of HPTs lately

ANyway, I'm so glad to be joining all my great friends from the TTC#1 board who have already moved on before me, I've been stalking you all this whole time...and so glad to meet all of you who have come before...this is the journey of a lifetime!!!

I've been waiting for this ever since I got my BFP!!!!!!! I am absolutely THRILLED for you!!!!! I have been praying since I got that email that this little bean will make him/herself nice and comfy and STAY put for the next 37 weeks

Come on beany, you can do it!!!! And Tonya, CONGRATS, CONGRATS, CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first few months are SO nerve wracking, but it's absolutely OUT of your control either way. So- until you're given the reason to believe otherwise.... celebrate and live on cloud nine!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOOOO

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG...Tonya I am soooooo excited for you!!!!!!!!!

I hadn't read your journal in a week or so, but last I'd checked you seemed so frustrated and thought you'd have to move on to another medicated cycle...I am just OVER THE MOON that that is not the case for you! Welcome to Grads!!!!!!!!!!

Etph007 · #10 June 27th, 2009, 08:11 PM

I also saw on a thread in your ddc that you wanted to see HPTS.... so I thought I'd post mine for you... But try not to stress too much! I know it's fun POAS!!

KDD · #11 June 27th, 2009, 08:35 PM

I've fallen behind on the TTC journals and look what I missed! Congratulations!

Erin-
I can't tell you how much your support has meant to me, thank you so much...one of my goals was to be here before you gave birth...and I'm 20 weeks early - YEAH!! I can not wait to travel this life-changing journey with you...and yes, I'm completely on

right now, and enjoying every minute of it!!

Though I have to admit, except for the sore BBs and the second line on the HPTs, I dont **feel** any different...its so weird to think of what is going on in there

Right now, I'm doing well with thinking positive cause everything is feeling good...just hope that it stays that way!!

Haa haa, thanks for humoring my POAS-line obsession...I can't wait till my lines are like yours from 17DPO!!! Though, I might need more sticks - HAA!

Rachel-
AHHHHHH!!!!!! My emotions have been a roller coaster lately...I saw the second line yesterday morning (barely!) - you KNOW that I can't wait to POAS cause I got no willpower...AF was due day before yesterday or yesterday (cause I have a super short LP), and I had to test cause I was having no spotting which was so weird for me...so so glad to be here

Kim- LOL, yea, yesterday was quite a day for me

Everyone else, some of you I feel like I know cause I've been following you forever on your journey (and wishing so hard to be here myself

)...so glad to finally really be here - YEAH!!!

~Traci~ · #15 June 27th, 2009, 11:46 PM

Congratulations!!

downunderchick · #16 June 28th, 2009, 01:13 AM

samspain · #17 June 28th, 2009, 01:58 AM

Congratulations, those 2 little pink lines are priceless! especially after so many empty windows. Did you do all the early is it positive things? take the strip out of the casing and hold it up to a lightbulb etc!!

Lyz · #18 June 28th, 2009, 05:14 AM

yay I was hoping you would join the grads sooner rather than later...Tonya, I'm so freaking excited for you! I'm waiting to hear your beta results from today but i know you just had them drawn 45 minutes ago (can you tell i'm impatient! haha). Congrats again momma!! you're PREGNANT!!!!

Celry · #19 June 28th, 2009, 05:17 AM

Congrats and welcome. That second line really is amazing to see after ttc for a while.

That is kinda what I was thinking!! Congratulations Tonya! I added you to our DDC list sticky! Your HPTs look great and that your beta is 41 already is really good. Good luck tomorrow!!
