After 7 long, but fun, years on the nest, and 6 of those being on GP. After a year of RE appointments. I finally get to tell you all that I'm pregnant. I've had a zillion creative ways over the years I was going to do it, but now I'm just going to do it. Beta was 1300 today at 15dp5dt. Thank you all for being there though the good and the bad and helping to cheer me on. I was stalling announcing because it's been such a rotten week around here for some of you, but for future reference for anyone, I got my first BFP at 5dp5dt

I love you all, even you
@MH (I know you're lurking!) the angry ones always make it fun.
And you
@seahorse01 (even though I had to pay for my free baby)

Thanks again for all the encouragement.
