I will apologize now for the times I lose my wit and sarcasm and become one of those mushy, fussy, sissy, sobby, wussies that you usually find in the infertility chat groups. You will find no tender wishes of ‘baby dust’ here… but I do have my moments. (I’ll admit I am often a wus and sobby but I do try to NEVER be mushy.. LOL.. OK.. not often anyway.
I AM 55% GOTH!
Oh My Goth! You Goth, Girl. There is a good chance I am bi. Freakiness pumps through my viens, but I can still laugh at myself.
At 11 days past fertilization (well.. a few hours short of 11 days anyway) this is what we have.
Photo taken 4 minutes after start of test.
You don't even have to squint! (it looks a little darker in person)
What do you think? I’m afraid to believe it’s true. I was so very scared to test this morning but my husband was so excited that I couldn’t refuse him. I even managed to not pee all night long so I’d be sure to have that good hormone enriched first mornings pee! Hehe..
Ok.. I’m going to go worry for a few days until I can test again.

Namebermuda December 28, 2004 08:03 AM PST Holy sh!t! It was rattling in the back of my brain somewhere that you just went through your first IVF, so I came by to check up on ya. What a fantabulous surprise to see this very beautiful pic!!!!! No need for squinting, no need for physics calculations to determine proper density of light!
A very hopeful, quiet congrats coming your way.
And just to give you my experience, I have had a few triggers in my time, and have done many a scientific testing watching the double line fade, and I can definitely say that the line would NOT be that dark this long after trigger. I don't think you are at any risk for residual trigger lines. That looks like the real thing to me.
Let the worrying commence.
All my best,
Janet
Cecily December 28, 2004 07:34 AM PST Dude, that's totally positive...but did you have an HCG trigger before the egg retrieval? Not to rain on the parade and all, but that can stay in your system for a while... ten days I've heard...
TASHA December 28, 2004 06:42 AM PST I'm sooo happy for you!!!!!!! I've been reading your journal for awhile and i got soo interested in your stories. Again, congrats! MOMMY.
