WE ARE PREGNANT!

After 18 years together, two weddings, 6 years of fertility, two IVF..... We are pregnant!

My official beta is tomorrow but Friday we decided to test early and the hpt was positive at day 12. I tested yesterday and again. ...positive!  I'll test again today just so I can see it again.

I feel great. I'm tired but otherwise great. 

There is no question I'm pregnant but there is one big question. ... is there one or two? 

I'll update tomorrow with the beta number.

Twinges

This could all be in my head but I'm feeling stuff in my lower abdomen that I can only describe as twinges.  Especially when I'm driving.  I just think the baby(s) like the motion of the car.

My last IVF I felt something similar and I was technically pregnant even though it didn't last.  This time the feeling is much stronger and more often.  It could be something or it could be nothing.  But it gives me hope.

My test is Monday. 

Now we wait

IVF #2 complete and now we wait for the results. We are very hopeful for a positive!

Please send good thoughts our way. 

Shots

The shots start again today for this next IVF cycle.  I'm sure most of you can relate to this but I'm looking forward to it.  With every shot I feel closer to a goal that we have been working toward for a very long time.  It makes me feel like at least something is happening.

We are so busy this next 2 1/2 months and right in the middle of that is our transfer which just says I have nothing to complain about.  I feel like life is really good.  Everything we have going on is all fun stuff with great friends and family.  Wedding shower, 2 weddings, my birthday and a long weekend in Florida.  If I'm going to have problems those are the ones to have....hahaha!

My life went through such a rough spot a few years ago that I never thought I'd get past or would never change.   I'm lucky that it is all behind me and I can feel complete joy again.

More to come.

Starting again

The process starts again.  My meds arrive tomorrow.  Blood work next week and the ultrasounds are scheduled. 

It's nice to start the process not so sick this time.  Not coughing up a lung every 5 minutes.

We have decided to transfer 2 embryos.  We feel really good about our decision.  We know twins are a lot of work but we are ok if that is the result.

Fingers crossed for us.  This has been a very long journey.

More to come.
