Afraid to get excited, buuuuuuut....

We've been TTC for 2.5 years with no luck.

This cycle we did injectables with an IUI. I went for a Beta yesterday and it was at 9. The nurse said it has to be less than 5 for it to be negative.

I go back on Friday for another beta to see if my numbers are doubling. Of course I couldn't wait to test myself! I tested last night after a 4 hour hold and got a faint line.

I tested today after only an hour hold and got a darker line!!!

I'm afraid to get excited since the beta was low. Any encouragement or similar stories, ladies?
