Took Another! (trigs)

I went for my beta and had just enough time to stop by Wa.lM.art for a 2 pack of FRER. Now mind you, I have drank a coffee and a little orange soda this morning so I had just peed right before I left for lunch. So, after holding it for a hour, I tested with FRER and it is still +!!! Its faint, but there, and withing the time frame this time!!!! WOOHOO!! Now just waiting for my beta results!!!
