I always thought 2 lines had to be a myth. But after 51 cycles, 3 years and seven months, five treatment cycles and four IUIs - I've seen finally seen it! I got a light squint real hard and turn it back and forth positive yesterday. And today it's dark enough to not have to squint.
I wish I could say I'm over the moon excited. But I am fearful because I started spotting today. And if you saw my post last week my P4 was only 4.3 so yeah, I am worried. My RE couldn't get me in for a beta today but did move it up from Wednesday to Tomorrow. So FX that this sticks. I will update this thread once I hear beta number. Congrats to my cycle buddy KatyJ on us both getting a BFP on 11dpIUI Superbowl Sunday! I hope we both have sticky babies so we can move on to Due Date buddies for Oct. 16th.
On Thursday, I will post (hopefully) my last Grad Check In as host, and hope one of the newer regulars would like to take it over as it's one of my favorite parts of 3T, of which I've now been a member just one month shy of three years. I've made so many friends, had so many laughs and tears...3T will in a way always be my home.
To those of you who read my blog or are friends on FB, please do not post anything as no one but my husband currently know and I have IRL friends who read the blog that I will be filling in over the next few days. (After a good beta or two?) Thank you all for the good thoughts you've sent my way in this cycle, as many of you know this has been a really long road, and I could not have done it with out you guys!
****UPDATE**** I am spotting red today but got my beta back and it's 44 (at 13dpIUI) with a p4 of 15 now (it was 4.3 at 7dpIUI) so all we can do is wait. I keep trying to remind myself 50% of pregnancies have spotting and half of those go on to have healthy babies. But any Thoughts and Prayers you can give me... I will put 2nd beta in the grad check in that afternoon.

Re: It's not a myth (BFP) **Update**
Congrats! What an exciting day on our TTTC board with all these BFP's!
FX for a great beta!
