I have been putting off writing this because a) I am in utter disbelief and b) I don't want to leave. (I mean I want to leave, BUT I don't want to leave you).
So, here is the scoop. On Thursday, I gambled and got a positive on a HPT. I wasn't willing to take anything seriously until I got my beta back on Friday, which came back as 292. It was a small relief, but I am stubborn in my disbelief. It wasn't until we got the second beta back of 853 yesterday (progesterone 51.7) that we started to even say the words. So, right now, it looks like I am pregnant. I still POAS constantly, and I think it is going to take a long time before I stop being nervous.
Over the last months, you all have shown me nothing but love and support, and I do not think that I would have been able to get through this without you. 3T is an amazing place, and I feel so lucky to have found you all. My gratitude is without bounds. I wish you all the best of luck, and I hope to see you soon on the other side.
A little shout out to my sock buddies (this is a true testament to how amazing everyone here is because shortly after I came to the board - which was long after the original sock exchange had been held - not one but two wonderful ladies offered to send me lucky socks.) @lindy04aggie and @sammae - thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wore your socks every time I had an appointment and every day that I needed a little extra support. I have been wearing them (I alternate each day) since Thursday, and I have no intention of stopping. I may have to wash them at some point though...
I will be lurking in the shadows, love titting everything you say, sending virtual hugs every time you are sad and have a hard day, and silently cheering you all on.
