I finally got an official BFP on two different brands of HPTs on Saturday (yes, I went out at 6am to buy the digital one just to be sure, lol). MH is wilderness camping on vacation, but I called him RIGHT before he would have had to turn off his phone because of no reception, thank goodness for perfect timing!
I went in this morning for my first beta and just got a call back from the nurse... beta #1 is 137!! I am soo excited and can't wait for MH to get back, he won't be home until Sunday!
Big THANK YOU to mdluv21... I would have started taking Provera on Thursday had you not advised me to wait! =D
