    Hi everyone, I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while. We decided to take a much needed mini vacation and went camping for a few days.
    Lots of hugs for the new girls, so sorry that you are having to experience such a sorrowful event.
    Congrats to all the new preggers! I'm sorry I am new and I'm still having a hard time remembering all your names.
    The one name I can remember is Pash. Congrats, and I totally understand how worried you are right now. I wish I could say it will get easier, but it won't. You will worry every step of this pg. But take it from someone who has been there MANY times, try really hard to enjoy every moment you can, because if you don't, and end up having a successful pregnancy, you will feel like you cheated yourself. Also just so you know, your beta numbers (hcg)can determine whether or not you will be able to see a heartbeat. Anything after 4000 you should see a heartbeat. I know that I've seen a heartbeat as early as 5 weeks 3 days, and as late as 7 weeks exactly. So don't give up yet. And yes, BROWN blood is old blood!

    Now for my news. I am going in for a beta (hcg) this morning, as I tested this morning and it's positive. I just can't even believe it. It's only been 3 weeks and 3 days since my m/c . Part of me doesn't believe it, it must be leftover from my m/c, BUT i tested every day until I got negative tests three days in a row and then stopped testing. It's been over a week since I tested with a negative and today I tested on a whim and it's a light, but definitely easily visible line. So I'm off to take a shower, adn then go get my blood drawn. I just can't believe with all of our infertility issues that I could possibly be pregnant again so soon!
    I'll keep all of you posted.School is out, so my computer time is a bit more limited than usual!
    Good luck to everyone else!
