I humbly request my name be added to The Board

I would like to propose myself back in the running.

Here is where we stand six days past a 5th day transfer:


Beta is Friday.  Some might remember how things turned out last time.  All I can do is wait.  Pray.  Carry around my crystals.  It can change tomorrow or it can change at 24 weeks.  Life is not a box of chocolates unless some of them are pumped full of nuclear waste.

Note: M = male.  Rocco is not pregnant, but serves as an excellent confirmation as to what a negative looks like as compared to my very, very light line.

All my love to the sisters close to me in the running.  Let's try to be strong together.  I offer a deep and different love to my sisters not in the race at this time.  Your losses sit deep in my heart and I share them with you.

I have been on my knees this time around and your individual names were on my mind.  They always are.

    I think even a faint line counts as a line on a HPT! I really hope this is the beginning of an uneventful nine months with a healthy baby at the end!! :-)

    Roccie! There looks to be some hcg in coursing through your veins, girl! Are you preggers???
    Let's see what 7dp5dt looks like, but that is a clear line I see on 6dp5dt. You are so in the running. I'm smiling a huge ass smile over here, my friend. I will wait to take out the streamers and confetti, but I have them right here with me, ready at a moment's notice.

    Aw, babes. That's not even a light line - it's a LINE line! And it's getting darker. I can see that from across the room. Happy day, Roccie. I am going to bed happy tonight, and while you're right about life not being a box of chocolates...I think you might have a good one, without the nuclear filling.

    Looking good!!! I never tested this early (never got to a 5 day transfer either) so not sure what it should look like, but it definitely looks like a line growing darker to me. Everything crossed for you!!!

    OH SWEETIE! That is a gorgeous, no question line. And last time I was all cautious, so this time I'm taking a different approach, since, as you know, my reaction determines whether or not this will be a take home baby. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YOU'RE PREGNANT YOU'RE PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!
