PREGNANT!!!

Today has been the longest and best day of my life! I absolutely cannot believe I am pregnant...I mean, I knew there was a possibility, doing IVF and all...but for some reason I guess I didn't expect it to work on the first try. I am in complete shock!

We had our appt this morning at 9:30...I gave blood and was told in just a few SHORT hours they would call with the news. The nurse, Jubilee, said they would call no later than 12:00. So, Eric and I went home to wait....and wait....and wait some more. 12:00 rolled around and no call. 1:00 came and still NO CALL! Were they purposefully trying to make me go insane? Finally at 2:00 I told Eric to call and find out what was going on. Voicemail. At that point I was so nervous and excited and freaked out that the only thing left to do was sleep until they called. Finally at 3:00 they called. I handed the phone to Eric and told him that he had to be the one to answer, I was just too nervous. As he listened to what Jubilee was saying he looked a lil confused...he handed the phone to me and said "I don't understand what she is saying" LOL!! So I took the phone from him. Jubilee asked me if I had been saving all of the paperwork they had been giving me throughout the IVF process and that I needed to keep on saving them b/c I would need them for a baby book. A BABY BOOK! I just started laughing and I kept asking her if I was REALLY pregnant. I cannot explain the joy Eric and I felt at that moment. This long HARD road of IVF was finally over and we were pregnant. GOD IS GOOD!!!

Waiting...

I just wanted to say that all this waiting to find out if I'm pregnant STINKS!!! I'm not the most patient person so this whole process has been extra hard. Maybe God is trying to teach me something...patience maybe? :)

I thought after I did the transfer I would be able to stop all of the meds, but I was wrong. I have to continue them up until they find out if Im pregnant or not. Sigh...

FET Day!

I woke up this morning excited, anxious, scared...and nervous. Today is the day of our embryo transfer! Could this be the day that we REALLY get pregnant??

Our appointment was at 11:45 this morning and I was so nervous...mostly because I didn't know what to expect. Unlike the egg retrieval, I was awake for this procedure. That freaked me out a bit...I mean, what if it hurt like the dickens?!  Good thing is that it didn't...phew!

Eric and I got dressed up in our hospital gowns, complete with lil booties and hats. We then went into the procedure room. The only uncomfortable thing about the whole procedure was that I had to have a full bladder...There was a TON of pressure and  I prayed the whole time that I wouldn't just pee right on the table...now THAT would have been embarrassing.  Right before they transferred the eggs, they brought me a picture of our little embryos...They are just the cutest lil embryos I've ever seen. The procedure lasted about 2 minutes and I was sent home to have "pelvic rest" for the rest of the day.

Eric and I before the Procedure...Looking pretty HOT!

Our cute lil Embryos

It's exciting to think that right now, my 2 little embryos are in there and growing. They might be growing into our future children. The next 2 weeks of waiting to take a pregnancy test is going to be awful! Its going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life. For now I will just pray that everything works out alright and that things "stick".
