Tentative Happiness

Last time I mentioned how betaHCG is basically a terrible cruel thing. Here is why.

A few days ago, this happened.

See, you can't tell in this photo but there is a very, very faint line to the left of the one you can see. Technically, that means the test is positive.

Sorta.

See, the 'trigger shot' Mo took before retrieval is basically a crack-ton of HCG and it take days for that to get out of her system. This test was 5 days post transfer (DPT) and may just be reflecting the HCG in her system.

So we did another one the next day...and the next...and today. (The Crazy came out, I admit it).

little darker

darker still

okay...a pattern forms

See how that line just gets darker and darker? That's good news. It suggests the HCG is increasing. Look at this way.

So. This is the first positive pregnancy test we've ever had. The odds of Mo being pregnant are just super at this point.

Tomorrow is the blood test and we will get more information. Hopefully it will confirm the home tests. They will probably want another test a couple days after tomorrow to confirm there is an increase over time.
