So last week when I got my blood test results I used a home pregnancy test anyway. I wanted to finally see two lines appear. So I left the test which Tom & I affectionately refer to as "the pee stick" on the bathroom counter. It is still there. Tom keeps asking me when I am going to throw it out. I patiently explain that I need to keep reminding myself that I am pregnant. Besides I put it on my side next to my sink. And I am sure all of the actual urine has evaporated by now. Eeew. That is kind of gross. But you know what? I don't care. I'm keeping it as long as I wanna.

Finishing this dish with lime zest and juice brightens its rich flavors.
Yield 6 servings (serving size: about 3 ounces ribs, 2/3 cup rice, and about 2 1/2 tablespoons sauce)

I still have mine. I carried it around in my purse for a month and a half. I actually plan on putting it in a keepsake baby box. I figure that the actual urine is long since harmless! And it's proof, darnit! :)
*lol* Trust me, it's normal... at least I hope so because I still have 2 out of 3 (yes, I took 3!!!) in my medicine cabinet :)
Am so happy for you!!!!!!!! From what I've read on your site you have really wanted a baby and from the descriptions of your efforts. I know you deserve this and so much more. Congrats!!!!!!!!!
YAY YAY YAY!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!! Keep that stick and eventually put in in some scrap book sort of thing for your baby....if it's a girl..she'll think it's cool!!
"My parents went and got pregnant, and all I got was this lousy, pee'd-on stick!"

CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS!
I have been checking here like crazy wishing and hoping you would be sharing some happy pregnant news with all of us and now you have!!! YEAH!!! I am so happy for you and your hubby!!
you should save it! it will be a wonderful memory for baby later on! :)
I still have the +hpt from my daughter. She was MY little miracle IVF baby (cycle #1 for me too!) and I saved absolutely everything. Every single follicle u/s, our protocol paperwork, the calendar where I marked a big X every day as we got closer to our beta.
I'm pregnant again and I'm sure I'll save the many hpt's I took... and the calendar where I wrote down each beta result... and that first fuzzy ultrasound that proved there was a real live baby in there.
Forgot to say congratulations!!!!
awww, that's so cute. I'd totally hold on to that little sucker and maybe make a little memory box or something later on.
I still have both of mine :-) Congrats!!!
I still have both of my tests sitting on the counter in the batheroom too! I'm due the end of January-early February. Isn't it amazing?
