Still hanging around?...and an award

I'll freely admit that I have been testing. I just wanted to see if I could actually make a pee stick turn positive. I will say though that it's a little disappointing to see your first BFP and know that it's not real. That being said, it's not going away!!!

I can't believe my HCG trigger is still hanging around. I've googled it to death and I've read that the trigger will usually hang around for 1 day per every 1000 units, so that means 10 days for 10,000 units. I didn't believe it at first, but it does seem to be true.

I refuse to get my hopes up and believe that this could really be a positive. I'm only 9 dpo, but the last 4 days the second line has been the same faint pink color and doesn't seem to be going away completely.

Check out the photos: (Yes I post pictures of things I've peed on, but at least I crop the pee part out! Also, I do realize that there are extra sticks there, I did one the night after the trigger and two the day of ovulation, oldest at the top to today's at the bottom)

I've decided to combine posts too, so I just wanted to thank all of you who nominated me for the Liebster award. I really do appreciate it, I may not be witty, clever or all that entertaining, but I do feel loved, so again thanks!

As with most awards, there are rules, but these are ones I can abide by:

This Award is given to bloggers who have less than 200 followers, all in the spirit of fostering new connections. Leibster is German & means ‘dearest’ or ‘beloved’ but it can also mean ‘favorite’. The idea of the Leibster award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers.
