Ok, I admit it...I did it-- POAS ;)
Soooo.....
I POAS this morning. After using the one internet cheapie and FRER I had in the house, I couldn't tell about the lines (I hate those tests, I can never tell if the line is there or just light). I had a box of CBE digital tests and after waiting forever it popped up PREGNANT!!!
I am very excited but very cautious and nervous. I got pregnant from an iui but had a miscarriage at 10wks (the baby had triploidy). I am terrified of miscarrying again. I don't know that I would be able to handle it. Of course, last time after we heard the heartbeat, we told our family and friends. We will not be doing that this time.
I have my beta a week from today (13dp5dt). We are unexplained IF and had a 5dt of 2 embies. Today is 6dp5dt, so I'm hoping this is real. But as DH tells me, it isn't official until the RE tell us (he's excited but nervous too).
I just hope and pray that is it for us and these are our take home baby(ies). Thanks ladies for all the T&P.

I would love to. I already called. They said nope. It's my fault for testing so early!!! I guess the only good thing is they should have a good reading on the beta by that point.
