Does anyone hear that? Off in the distance? It sounds like. . . could it be? I think. . . oh, no. Oh, YES! It's the Crazy Train!
And I have a one way ticket.
It is 12 DPTrigger and 11DPO. For those of you who have followed my craziness for other 2WW, you know what this means. Katie is gone. She has been replaced by an insane woman who will spend all of her time, pee, and latte money on pee sticks.
I POAS Friday and Saturday and trigger is OUT. As in even under the brightest lightbulb and blindingly direct sunlight there is no line OUT. As in not even an evap line OUT. So, now I am hoping for the second line to appear.
So far, nada. Just for anyone keeping score, I never give up until 13 DPO. So, please keep your fingers crossed that I am soon seeing double!
After taking the hit so many times, we finally dodged the bullet . . . And we're forever grateful. This is a story about parenting our three miracles after unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss.

Our Story. . . So Far
My husband and I endured nine miscarriages as we tried to build our family, becoming part of the 2% of couples who experience recurrent miscarriages. All of our friends had babies, so I used to joke, "It's because I am taking the statistical bullet for you." It stopped being funny, but it made a great blog title.
Through the miracle of IVF/PGD, we were blessed to finally bring our son, William Patrick, into our lives on August 20, 2008. We were then given a second miracle and welcomed our daughter, Emma Grace, on July 17, 2010. And just when we thought we were done, we got even luckier and Andrew Robert joined us on October 11, 2012.

Thinking positive thoughts! I'll be with ya tomorrow.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the double lines will appear soon.
Well, my temp did an awful drop today so I think I'm out. If it goes down any further, I won't be testing tomorrow. If it goes up, I'll be following your lead.
Here's to a double line just in time to wear that pregnant lady costume! XOXO
Good luck! I hope tomorrow brings two lines!
is there room on the crazy train for one more? I have entered the phase wherein I Read Too Much Into Every Little Damn Thing.
No testing for me though. I'm waiting out for the beta. I am steadily holding onto my dream! As long as I don't test I won't know if it's negative.
But, I'm POAS vicariously through you! Keep the updates coming. I was out of town for several days and I feel like I've missed out on so much!
Thinking about and praying for you over the next few days...
A.
Got everything crossed for you... come on pee, let's go!!!
I'm crossing all that can be crossed for you!!! :-)
As I sniffle and sneeze I will have my fingers crossed. (Yes, i said I would catch up later, but just had to check on you). I'll be peeking in tomorrow!
The Crazy Train?
Can I have a ticket? I'm allllmost in the 1ww and so close to pointlessly urinating on sticks again.
J
Fingers and toes both crossed!!!
Pee! Pee! Pee!
Fingers crossed for you and that a magic second line appears! :D
Keeping all crossed .. wanting you to see double.
I hope you WILL see double and it won't be from a copious amount of alcohol in your system!
I really hope and pray this will be your beautiful BFP month and something great can start. I know especially coming up on the 31st, you could use a cheerful bit of news.
Hoping this is it Katie. Have I mentioned how much I enjoy your blog? Still waiting for your book!
