Good News???

It seems we might be in for some good news tomorrow. . .
Home pregnancy test - 8 days post 5 day transfer
I begged Dan to let me do a pregnancy test on Thursday night.  I haven't felt any pregnancy symptoms at all:  no cramping, no sore breasts, no weird sensations, no nausea, not extra hungry, and I've been feeling rested and energetic.  But Thursday was the first day that I was feeling the pregnancy pulling and stretching in my lower abdomen.  (It helps a little that I've been pregnant before and know what that feels like. . .)  I was tired of not knowing and I knew that if I were pregnant it should register on a take home test by now.  I was excited to see the faint pink line show up.  (That doesn't happen with a negative pregnancy test ever- I should know.)  If I seem underwhelmed it is because I know that the Beta (HCG) number tomorrow from my blood test is WAY more important than a positive take home pregnancy test.  Since my blood test is on a Saturday I am hoping that I can know my results on the same day.  We'll see. . .   I am not quite ready to be congratulated on a pregnancy yet.  Having seen the negative experiences of others and been through a miscarriage myself I want to see the HCG numbers on Saturday and Monday before I fully let myself celebrate.  I'm sure you all understand. . . some of you more than I know.  Keep praying everyone!
