Infertility

I caved again and POAS

And it was a BFP! 

I was weak and POAS (FRER) last night around 7pm or so and there was an obvious line right away (not as dark as the control but not one that I had to hold under a light or anything).   I was stunned, and didn't tell my DH (please don't flame me).  I thought I'd wait until my beta in case it turned out to be a CP.  POAS this morning, and the line was just oh so slightly darker.   I had some bad cramping in the middle of the night last night but I'm hoping it was some bad shrimp.

So...the plan is to tell DH tonight.  I have a onsie that says "Future Mac User" that I have had hidden in my closet since we started trying.  I was going to wait until beta on Friday and then I realized how stupid that was.  If if is a CP it's not like I'd keep that a secret.  I think I really just didn't believe it last night and I think I'm just afraid that we'll get our hopes up and be disappointed. 

But...right now I'm going to enjoy the fact that I'm pregnant and hope for the best!

Thanks for all your support ladies!
