The hCG level is 193.5. I predicted a level of around 200 just for fun. I don't know why; the number just came to me. We are most definitely pregnant and overjoyed!
Thank you all for your wonderful comments - and for sharing in our excitement. It truly hasn't sunk in yet. I keep staring at the pregnancy sticks thinking the lines will fade, or the outcome will change. For now, even the digital is still shining a brightly positive "Yes+" every time I look. It's completely surreal to think I am four weeks pregnant today.
The beta doubling test is Wednesday, and if all is well, then they schedule the first ultrasound when I'm 5 weeks along. I am so happy to be joining my amazing "pregnant-despite-infertility" bloggie friends, Chelle, InVitroVeritas, Kate and many others on the next phase of this crazy journey.
It's too early to tell our family, but my closest IRL girl friends who have been following our IVF journey already know. If your family lived far away and you couldn't tell them in person, how would you break the news? We have a few weeks to come up with a cool plan to tell the grandparents. If you've heard any memorable pregnancy announcements or surprises, please leave a comment. Thanks!

HPTs for your analyzing pleasure
Day 9 post 3 dt
Day 7 & 8 post 3dt
It actually looks a little darker in real life, but still very faint.

9dp3dt - Saturday's yes Yes YES+!
Dh had to work today, and the alarm went off around 5:30 a.m. Before I had even surfaced, I said, "PEE STICK TIME!!" and leapt out of bed. Dh just laughed.
I had two First Res.ponse sticks left: a lined one, and a digital one. I went out on a limb and tried the digital. It blinked for a good 3 minutes before it came up with "Yes+". Oh my, oh my, oh my. It's like asking the Magic 8 ball this same question, and then wanting to shake it again just to be sure. Except it's not the Magic 8 ball, and I can't shake it.
3 days of testing, and 3 positives! This must not be a fluke. Holy crap. What if this is real? When can I start believing it?
I tried the last stick too, to compare line darkness, and it was a little lighter than yesterday's, but still completely visible. Is that a bad sign? Sorry if TMI, but the urine was not quite as concentrated after only 4 hours of sleep, compared to 8 hours the night before, so hopefully that explains it. Now I'm completely obsessing and I can't stop myself!
Monday afternoon's beta results is a world away...
