I am not really superstitious but I worry even typing this out that I will jinx something. After 16 + cycles total of trying and just having finished our infertility testing, I just got my first ever faint line positive EPT last night at 12dpo and then again this morning (though a little fainter) at 13dpo. This is my first cycle post HSG. I think I needed to see this in writing to even start believing it, but my period is also not due until Tuesday so I am VERY cautiously optimistic at this point.
I didn't post this to congratulate myself, but because I feel like I've already gotten so attached to a lot of you ladies in the past month of being on this board and wanted to update those of you who have been following my journey, as well.
I will keep testing and (hopefully) confirm with a digital if/when I miss my period! Thanks so much for your support these last several weeks. I couldn't have made it through the testing/initial diagnostic stage without this board.

May 2014 - Break cycle to repeat saline sonogram and re-group. Travel to Kauai 5/7-5/12 (Yay!!)
Congrats!
I could be wrong, but aren't EPTs blue dye? If so, I'd go out and get a pink dye test and/or digital to test again.
