Pysching myself out (possible bfp mentioned)

in Trouble TTC
So I'm psyching myself out, I've been reading a lot about chemical pregnancies, and a lot of people have had the faint line on the hpt like I have. The line got darker this morning but its not a strong dark, not yet anyways, and I'm going in for my beta tomorrow. I had the iui exactly two weeks tomorrow I'm just really really nervous that this won't last, nothing ever goes our way. Am I freaking out over nothing?

That hope always triumphs over experience.
