Thank you. I *am* optimistic, but since the hpt's have been negative thus far, I am anxious about the signs. This gives me hope.

I have heard that the pregnancy hormone does not show up quickly in some women, whereas it does in others, so perhaps it is just too early for an hpt test to show positive for me.

Thanks again, Dee
