We are in complete shock! It really hasn't sunk in yet. I find it hard to believe I'm writing a post like this.
Our beta was this morning. I knew I wanted to come home and POAS. I needed to find out myself before a random nurse broke the news to me. DH and I were so nervous. We just held each other for those excruciating three minutes. The pee stick has never been a friend of mine, and I just couldn't fathom how this time would be any different. We held hands on our way to check and neither of us really wanted to look. When we finally did, we were in disbelief! I still am. I walked around the house for about 20 minutes with that thing in my hand just staring at it. (DH kept asking me when I was going to put it down. He was also a tad grossed out that my pee stick came dangerously close to his face whenever I tried to hug him. )
I was pleased the line was so dark, but I was going to hold out for the beta number. The nurse just called. My 1st beta is 324! That sounds kind of high. She said she'd be happy with anything over 50. That's a big number to double. I hope it continues to rise.
There are so many things I could worry about, fixate on, obsess over. I made a conscious decision before these results to try to enjoy every minute of this for what it is; to try not to preoccupy myself with all the hurdles to come. It will be hard, but I will try.
Today is a good day!

YAY!!!! Can you hear me yelling from Virginia???!!!!
That IS a very dark line!
I had my pee sticks on the bathroom counter for about five days, before I moved them to the bathroom drawer. I don't know if I'll ever be able to part with them!
That's a really strong beta!
Yes, don't obsess. I obsessed and I think I caused myself a lot of undue stress.
CONGRATS! I'm so happy for you!
