My partner and I both had decided some time ago that we wouldn't tell anyone IRL until we were past the all clear, after hearing the baby's heartbeat the risk of loss goes down to 5%.

My partner, after seeing how hard our loss was for me last year, want me to also protect myself and not set myself up for disappointment should something go wrong. I'm a very sensitive person and it doesn't take much to blow me over.

I tested again this morning and it was a touch darker. I'll go in to get my beta checked today, I even printed out a copy of my chart since I don't want them to go by LMP since I ovulated late. I should know the results this afternoon and I will keep you posted.
