Do I Look Like an Urban Legend To You???? Updated***

***Update. Peed on a FRER this morning (Sunday) and got an immediate lovely clear pink line. I was very worried that the clinic-supplied tests were faulty. Please feel free to roll your eyes at this juncture.

Thank you for all your lovely comments. You know that I would be even more of a basket case without you all supporting me.***


Faint positive test this morning. Ummm....okaaaay.

I phoned the clinic to say that I had a faint line, skinny and faint but definitely there. They gave me the old message board standard of "Any line is a positive result". I giggled nervously as the nurse said "Congratulations".

The test I did on Thursday morning did have a faint shadow eventually on it but I dismissed it as an evap. line. You could only see something if you held it at a funny angle, shone a torch on it and squinted through your third eye.

When I look at the 2 tests side by side today, it is like looking at night and day. The line is definitely there today, visible to the naked eye whereas Thursday's test needed, as Julie at A Little Pregnant* said, "the light of a thousand suns" to see the photo negative of a something, anything.

I had spent all day yesterday poring over the SA donor profiles and trying to pick one to get that show on the road. I also picked up a very heavy microwave and staggered out of the kitchen with it. I was so utterly convinced it was over, I cannot begin to tell you.

I am still in a state of utter bemusement and would not dare to utter the "p" word. Mr P and I are being cautiously optimistic although the clinic has already booked me in today for a 7 week scan! The prospect of that in 3 weeks seems like the dark side of the moon. I know everything that can go wrong and we are off to a shaky start but I am going to take it one day at a time.

As the immortal and ever-missed Getupgrrl* once said: NBHHY.

* Sorry I cannot do links on this laptop. It is defeating me. I am currently lying down as I have had to increase the estrogen on the clinic's instructions and it has immediately made me feel nauseous. Of course, I do have to leave this bed to go purchase more peesticks this afternoon.
