Um. yeah.
Why would that be?
(beta scheduled today at 730a)
update #1 - got beta draw. Will update again with #. Did a second poas at RE and it was a BFP still.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.
"I'm aiming for heaven, but I'll probably wind up down in hell"
About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Manual version to flip baby from breech to head down, Labor, Delivery, Emergency surgery due to cord detaching from placenta, Scary heart issues from losing over 40% of my blood supply, and then a blood transfusion due to the extreme loss of blood. Whew!

NANCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is amazing! I have been praying for you for so long! I'm sitting here crying that this has finally happened for you!!!!!!! I remember when you were pg for Allison (my oldest was born just a couple weeks after her). Congratulations to you and your family!
YAAAYYYY!! Congrats! I've been hoping for this for so long
Because sometimes late implanters don't produce enough HCG to register until now? :) (*crossing fingers*)
WHAT!!!!!! OMG!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shit!!!! I am so happy to see this!!! I guess it wasn't over.....
Miss Hope came through!!!! Yay!!!!! Shit! I am beyond excited, I am ecstatic!
Don't you have your beta today too?
Congratulations, Nancy! I've been reading your blog for the past few months and am ecstatic for you. I can only imagine how much this means to you.
Congrats, Nancy! See you were meant to be pregnant this time. I knew it would happen for you.
What an amazing feeling :)
Couldn't be any more clear than that! Now we just have to wonder how many of them stuck......eek!
I can't wait to hear your numbers this afternoon. Tell your doctor to put a rush order on it! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Nancy I am so happy for you. I will be sitting here anxiously awaiting your beta numbers!!!
I knew it nancy!! I was laying in bed last night thinking i was not going to ever try to get PG till you got PG...and now i wake up and your PG, so i guess thats a green light. LOL!
OMG, I have never posed here before but I read every day and "know" you from the WebMD boards from when you were PG with DD#1...
I just got the biggest goose bumps when I read today's message!
I am hoping and praying you get the best news with your beta test!

Cate
YAY!!!
I just scared the cleaning lady by shouting!
KICK ASS!!!
OMG. Call already! I wanna know the numbers. I wonder if there's twins in there.
The next thing...aren't you dying to know how many implanted?
I bet you're floating on air right now. Have you told DH yet? I know you...I bet not and you're going to do some awesome surprise with the girls.
Did they outgrow those shirts already? ;)
And just like that, the "Don't POAS too early" crowd gets to say "told you so." While this MIGHT be annoying, usually, I bet it's not annoying at all today.
Early congrats, and good luck. Waiting for the beta numbers! Post. them. right. away.
