Yup, you saw it right, positive! I tested at home this morning but to be honest, I wasn't surprised with the result like I was with Lizzie. I've been telling Greg all week that I thought I was pregnant. When I got pregnant back in the spring I kept feeling like I was about to get my period but, needless to say, it didn't come, at least not for about 9 weeks. I've been having the same feelings this time around, like something is definitely going on down there. Not to mention the overwhelming tiredness I feel most of the time. So, here's to being cautiously optimistic.Greg and I were talking about it this morning after we got the result. There are just so many places it could still go wrong that we almost afraid to be happy. When I got pregnant with Lizzie it was after 2 IVFs, a frozen embryo transfer, a change of clinics and a final IVF. We were just so shocked and excited to see a positive hpt the we didn't let all the other hurdles get in the way of our happiness. I knew that miscarriages weren't uncommon but I believed I was one of those women it never happened to and it didn't with Lizzie. Other than a few minor complaints, my pregnancy with her was fairly easy. But then I got pregnant naturally in the spring and I miscarried 9 weeks later. So, now I know personally how it feels for things to go wrong. So while I'm happy about the positive test, I just need to take it step by step. The next hurdle is the blood test on Tuesday.

Thanks for your ICLW comment (and you're right, opening the kiln is one of the best parts of pottery)...
OMG! Congrats! Hope that everything goes great.
Yippee!! Here's to the "one day at a time" attitude we all need in life... Hope you continue to feel "pregnancy tired" ;-)!

Congrats!! Definitely hear you on the cautiously optimistic. Before IF I never thought staying pregnant would be an issue, just getting pregnant. Crossing fingers for your beta tomorrow!!

Cautiously excited for you! I'm proud of you for being so level-headed. Here's hoping for an absurdly high beta number tomorrow and nothing but smooth sailing from here to maternity. =) Post the minute you get that phone call tomorrow! HUGS!
Woop woop! This is a big step in the right direction, no matter what!
Here from ICLW -- here's hoping the blood test went well . . . . thanks for sharing your journey.
I'm cautiously thrilled for you and hoping for a great confirmation tomorrow! A sidenote on the PIO shots - do you ever put ice on the spot for 30 seconds or so before the needle goes in? I didn't see that in your description and that helps a bunch...
Stopping by from ICLW....
Congratulations! Here's to a happy, healthy, and UNeventful nine months!

Here from ICLW. Congratulations (cautiously) on your BFP.
Best of Luck.
Well, best of luck - and I won't say congratulations just yet as I know all to well how it can go wrong. Must be strange though to have this happen naturally.
