If you followed me the last time we had a BFP, my POAS obsession was out. of. control. It became somewhat of an addiction to watch that line get darker and darker. I think that it was some sort of coping mechanism for me? I remember doing it when I woke up, sometimes in the middle of the day, and then again before bedtime. I looked at them and compared them every time I went to the bathroom. I would come up with excuses to go to the bathroom so that I could look at them. Andy would roll his eyes and call me a freak. Here is the picture to prove it.
Did I really just admit that? There is just something about waiting so long to see those two lines. Don't take it for granted!
Welp...here we go again. When we attended the RESOLVE conference in Atlanta last year, we racked up on some HPT's. I swear that almost every booth was giving them away. I never understood why they would be giving away pregnancy tests at an infertility conference. But, whatever. Those things are expensive!
So, here's my loot (some are fertility tests that are even more useless for me....considering I have no eggs)
I'm sure that once these run out, I will be buying out Dollar Tree's stock. Those are the best tests ever. And cheap!
Here is my line comparison, including today's. Always reassuring to see it get darker.
Until then, I have some sticks to pee on.

Today was my first day back at work and it went okay. I'm trying not to overdo it, but I kind of have to act "normal" so that people won't wonder what is going on. I am a nurse and on my feet all day long, so this could definitely pose a challenge!
I will never complain, but would just like to document the pregnancy symptoms I've been experiencing. The only things that I have noticed up until today have been the period-like cramping, boobs, constant lower back pain, frequent urination, boobs, diarrhea, headache, boobs, bloating, boobs, feeling hot, and massive...sore...boobs. I love it. That is all.
We still can't believe this is happening again. We want to thank all of you again for the overwhelming love and support through emails and comments. We love you all! We are not out of the woods yet...anxiously awaiting those beta numbers. Please hurry up Wednesday!
Until then, I have some sticks to pee on.

I am jealous of your stock pile. I sent hubby out to buy a bunch today but he bought digital tests by mistake. I will be testing every morning until my Beta on Saturday. I am jealous that yours is so much earlier.
Yuppers im a POAS'r as well. I saved my BFP stick. My miracle just turned five. Yes, I still have that magic stick almost 6 years after getting our bfp. And its still positive. Im praying that this is it for you. Enjoy it all. Take it all in. It goes by soooooo fast.
:) You are in my thoughts and prayers. Anxiously waiting for the next stick picture!

it's definitely getting darker!!!
Have fun peeing on a stick!! Although I completely understand the obsession...maybe that's why they give them all away at those conferences (since they know you'll be peeing on them daily). Happy to see that line getting darker. Still praying for good results on Wednesday! Love you!
Ha, ha I found one of those "fertility tests" with my three pack of FRER - WTF yo?
Those tests are looking mighty fine, hooray for feeling like crap!
You are too cute! Love it! I couldn't stand the lines darkening so I just went with the expensiveashell digital test. lol. Enjoy!
I definitely loved peeing on sticks to see the line get darker. In fact, a year later I still have those tests. In a plastic bag. It's gross, I know. But those test told me my dream was coming true so I can't throw them away! So happy to see the line getting darker for you!!! :)
I have not got my BFP yet, but my boobs have been killing me for a good 3 months now...between the BCP, Lupron, stims, progesterone....and we went from one cycle right into the next (although at this moment, we are considering cancelling it for many different reasons). I totally understand the boobs being sore. I just wish I had a better reason for it. Congratulations to you! It must be so thrilling!
AAAAHHHHH!!!!! So excited for y'all! Will continue to keep praying hard! LOVE Y'ALL!!
oh my goodness that's a lot of HPT's!!! wow. Hoping for great numbers on wednesday!!!!! hang in there.
LOL, it's hard to step away from the stick, for sure. I only POAS for a few days before my husband forced me to stop, both for my sanity and for our pocketbook. Good luck! :)
I love the pics! Yay for BFP's! Love y'all! Still sending up prayers! P.S. Really mom? Framed? You frame everything. Freak.
Love you!

Fun to see that line get darker though!!! :) I had insane lower back pain as my first symptom, and omg the boobie pain was unreal. All GREAT signs!!! YAY! Thinking of and praying so hard for y'all! Love and hugs!
