This 2 week wait is killing me...and it isn't even a full 2 weeks, only 10 days...Friday is my official pregnancy test...but of course I couldn't wait to pee on a stick so I did it yesterday morning. I woke up dreaming about it, and my hubby gave me the go ahead...so we are sitting at our computers chatting waiting for the stick to finish doing its work, I looked at it over 20 times but it still kept "thinking", and then I glanced down not thinking and their it was...in big bold letters...PREGNANT! My initial reaction was shock, I mean, if I'm completely honest with myself, I've been subconsciously thinking I was pregnant before I even had the embryo transfers, just because of everything we were going through to actually get pregnant...but I was shocked when I saw the PREGNANT...I've never seen a pregnancy test say that and I was overcome with emotions!
But then the doubts start creeping into my mind...mainly - is it a false positive? After the excitement wore down and I thought about it...in reality, the hormones I took before the egg retrieval will produce a positive on any pregnancy test, some people say it takes 10-14 days for it to get out of your system. That's why the doctors make you wait for 10 days after the embryo transfer to take an official test. I took the pregnancy test 13 days after I received my trigger shot...it could be to early, but I'm just going to hold onto that positive and try to keep busy for the next 3 days.
It's not hard to stay busy, I have so much to think about and do, but my brain just keeps going back to all things baby...it's worse than ADD...but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Tyson has already started taking nightly pictures of my belly, he wants to do one of those morphing photos that you play really fast and watch the belly grow...it's his project/"baby". I'm all for it, as long as the pictures are taken at the right angle, I say document every possible thing so we can always remember. So I have to go take our nightly picture now and then I think I'm going to hit the sheets. I'm exhausted! (Yay - that's a prego sign)
