The obligatory photo


I always wondered why people have such a hard time getting a clear, up-close picture of their HPTs, but it is hard! I swear this line looks darker in real life that it does in the picture, but anyway, you get the idea.

This is so surreal. We started TTC in the spring of 2007. A year later started treatments - 2 IUIs, 3 IVFs locally. Then a year at CCRM - 3 more cycles. Still nothing. I have never seen this sight in all that time. I can't believe it.

Ok, I know that it is too early to get excited. I know all sorts of things could go wrong - believe me, I know. But I can't help getting a little optimistic now.

  8. Can I just say that's a very good looking line considering what day post transfer you are (in my humble un-line knowing opinion :) ) so I think this is a VERY GOOD SIGN!!!
