I Can't Wait!!!!

Here we are, 6 days past transfer day! I hadn't thought about how I would feel during this 2 week wait because my mind throughout this journey has only been set on the transfer day and just being so excited for that day to be here. Now that transfer day has come and past it is a very anxious time for me. I am a religious planner and it drives me crazy when I don't know what to expect or the answer to something so YES I caved in a bought 2 home pregnancy tests (HPT's). I took the first HPT on day 4 post transfer and before I took it I told myself I would not think anything of it if it came back negative. It is still early but I was curious to see how long after the transfer HCG could be detected. I was very calm and either way the results were it would be okay. I took the test, waited a couple minutes, and then I looked at it. I kept squinting my eyes because it looked like there were 2 lines (which I was ultimately hoping for) but it was so faint I thought I was seeing things. I was in such doubt that I ended up opening the other pregnancy test just to see if you could see any type of line before you peed on it. NOPE, you definitely can't see any lines before hand so even a faint line has to be good news! I just thought that maybe my HCG levels weren't high enough to read bold.

Yesterday, day 5 after the transfer I was getting cramps very low in my pelvic area. They felt exactly like I was getting ready to start my period, UGH! I wasn't sure whether to see that as a good thing or a bad thing but I've been reading a lot about how many people experience different symptoms after a transfer. I have tiny cramps again today but besides that I feel great, even with taking the booty shots. I decided to take another HPT but I was torn whether I should do it on day 6 or day 7. Of course I couldn't wait another day so I took another one as soon as I woke up this morning. Immediately a BFP result! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! It was the best feeling ever to see those big bold lines! Obviously we have a positive transfer but I am trying not to get my hopes up because my beta levels are the determining factor whether it was a successful transfer or not. I've read that anything over 50 after the 2ww is good and then the numbers should begin to double each day. As long as the levels are continuously rising then we are PREGNANT!





TOP- Day 4 (barely see the 2nd line)
BOTTOM- Day 6 (bold lines)


I had to e-mail E about the HPT's and she was pretty darn excited! Her response was, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh OMG!" She also doesn't want to get her hopes up but it is so hard not to have butterflies about the positives! ONLY 4 more days to wait until my beta HCG blood test and I will be going in as soon as they open!

I am being very positive about everything hoping for the best! I've been extremely lucky with how I have been feeling throughout all the medications and the transfer and I hope that is a blessed sign with how the pregnancy will go. (fingers crossed that we are pregnant) I went to the store and picked up some pineapple juice (yum!) then I e-mailed E "Pineapple Juice Pineapple Juice Pineapple Juice!!!" I think she appreciated that and it definitely made her laugh! I love the relationship we have and how appreciative they are. She always reminds me how lucky they feel to have me helping and it makes this experience all the more worth it!

Until Tuesday!!!!!!!
