So, I don't even know what to say. I am still in shock and disbelief and convinced every HPT in Minnesota has been tainted.
For those that don't remember - this was my first injects cycle and was cancelled on CD11 because I only had a mature follicle on my left - which is the tubeless side. I stopped all meds that day, did OPKs just so I'd know when I O'd, and charted because I feel like it gives me an ounce of control.
So here I am, 10dpo and I woke up feeling pukey and crampy. I figured my period was on its way, but thought for sh!ts and giggles, I would test since I have like 50 ICs.
I dipped the stick, dumped the cup and washed my hands. I glanced over at the stick.....
wtf? is that? no.. that is just dye passing through slowly.

Wait.. it's still there, the time has passed, and it's not just pooling. So now I am like wth.

I run to my husband, who just got out of the shower, and exclaim, "AM I FLUCKING CRAZY OR DO YOU SEE THIS?!"
him: "I SEE TWO LINES YOU AREN'T CRAZY WHAT IS THIS!"

I walked away and snapped a pic with my cell phone, texted it to my amazing friend with a WHAT THE FLUCK IS THIS to make sure we didn't have crazy line eyes. Once she confirmed there were lines.. I went back to my husband and insisted he get me more tests from Target. He told me to get dressed and he would take me. So I got dressed and bought 6 FRERs and 2 digis (stupid 2 pack of digi's didn't come with a free 3rd one
). Came home, forced myself to pee again.. and this was the result

Soooo... betas tomorrow and Monday, every 48 hours after that if they rise appropriately, and an ultrasound as soon as they are over 1500 or 2000 (I can't remember).
This doesn't feel real yet.. EDD according to FF is February 5, 2013. I won't post my beta updates here if they are good - I will post them on PAIF or PGAL. I really have enjoyed the time I've spent here, although I truly hate that we all have to be here. $1k worth of meds were delivered to me yesterday, and I hope I can donate them to our community in a few months.
