Yowzas!



I’m FINALLY getting close to the Beta day. I can’t believe I’ve waited this long. If it weren’t for the increasing darkness of the pee sticks, I am sure I’d have gone mad by now, but the pee sticks have kept me sane through this wait. I knew I liked them for a reason.

I’m done with all of the Clear Blue Easy Midstreams, Fact Pluses, and Accu Clears, so today, it was an Equate. Below is the comparison of Equates from 7 dp5dt (12 dpo), 8 dp5dt (13 dpo) and today, 10 dp5dt (15 dpo). Definitely darker!

Since we did it with our pregnancy with Calista, I felt it’s only fair to do the 4-week belly pictures*, so last night we took our first picture. I am terribly unphotogenic most of the time, it was late, and this is just after my PIO (Progesterone in Oil) shot, so it’s a little funky, but it works. The shiny thing on my stomach is one of my Estrogen patches. I’ve got a bit of a gut and some IVF bloat, but here is our starting point!

Since I posted a belly picture, it only seemed fair that I start a “Baby on the Way” category of posts, so this is the first in that series. I wanted to wait for the Beta, but what the heck, right?

Finally, I posted a Beta poll on the right that will close at noon on Monday. If you’d like to make a guess as to what Monday’s Beta will be, go for it!

Tomorrow will be the last pee stick (perhaps my last ever *sniffle sniffle*) so I have to figure out a grand finale. Stay tuned. :)

* If we have twins, I will probably do 2-week belly pictures.
