I know enough to know that it doesn't look good. Accounting for doubling time, a positive beta without a faint line yesterday would be very very low - not a good sign. But I can see some kind of a faint faint line today, the palest wisp of pinkishness. So, there's a maybe in there somewhere.
The maybes are where that faint faint line gets blurrier. Maybe it's a chemical. Maybe it's just a later implantation - the morula instead of one of the blasts? Maybe there's a chromosomal problem. Maybe I just have overly diluted morning pee? See - I can come up with a reason to support almost any conclusion.
Lab test in exactly 58 minutes.

03/05 - failing to become pregnant at the drop of a hat, we are told that we just need to be more aware of timing and begin using OPKs.
06/05 - hormone testing reveals a medium-okay FSH of 6.2, and oodles of sperm - but slightly low motility
09/05 - HSG reveals absolutely no problems
01/06 - OI # 1 - super-tiny doses of stims, one follicle and timed intercourse - hey, a BFP!
02/06 - betas rise appropriately, but no heartbeat, D&C
05/06 - OI #2 - small amount of stims, three follicles, BFN
07/06 - OI #3 - more stims, nine follicles, BFN
10/06 - IUI#1 - switch meds, six follicles, BFP!
11/06 - crappy betas, no heartbeat, D&C, testing shows trisomy 17
03/07 - IUI #2 - same protocol, BFN
05/07 - IUI #3 - same protocol, BFN
07/07 - IVF #1 - long protocol, BFN
