I'm freaking out (BFP) (prev loss ment) Beta update #2

Hi ladies,
Well I guess I'm ready to call it. I have been getting very faint lines on Wondfos since Saturday (we test early here in CrazyTown). The line was slightly darker yesterday so I showed it to my DH. He looked at it for a minute and said, "Yeah, I'm gonna need more than that." I tested with a FRER after work yesterday and got a beautiful 2nd line - showed him that one and he said he could work with that. 
I managed to turn a digital this morning, showed him and he said, "So you're probably pregnant." Oh, DH...
I managed to turn a digital this morning, showed him and he said, "So you're probably pregnant." Oh, DH...We are both having a hard time getting too excited since we just had a c/p in November. I hate that IF has turned me into someone who can't just be happy over a positive test. This one feels different so far, and the tests are darker faster, I wasn't able to turn a digi last time until right before I started cramping then bleeding at 4w3d. So I'm cautiously optimistic most of the time. Then I feel a cramp and I'm like, is that it? Is this the end again? Not a great place to be in.
1st beta is tomorrow since that is my official test date, I will update here and let you guys know how things go.
Mushy stuff: I can't thank you ladies enough for the support and empathy I have gotten here over the last couple of months. I know I haven't been here long, I debated even posting this, but I want you all to know how much I appreciate you and this supportive safe space (and let's face it, we all know I could be back sooner than I would like). I won't be posting but I will be lurking and cheering you all on! I hope to see you all soon on PAIF.
