**** beta #1 **** BFP mentioned

My beta was first thing this morning and I was 100% sure it was going to be negative.  I posted on the 3/8 hearts check-in that I had already POAS that morning and it was definitely negative - not even a squinter.  DH and I were heartbroken.  I thought for sure we were out this cycle.  We're now 11dp5dt and beta came back at 175, with another blood test on Monday.  I guess it's true that you should never give up hope until the beta.  There is still so far to go, so just going to take it a day at a time for now.

    Congrats!! One day at a time sounds like a great plan. And today is a great day. :)

    *I am no longer regularly posting on TB because of the fucked up debacle of Jan 2015 when administrators banned long-term members and mods with no notice and completely dismantled a community full of women who cared about each other.  If you see me posting it's only to give support to a poster who needs it or to post something important enough that I need to say.  I am no longer responding to  anything other than issues that affect people who I care about*
