Onto beta testing and POAS

So after 5 days on bedrest I had to test I could not resist I took out the test strips my friend Jenny had sent me and I did I snuck one on friday too early negative then I did one on Sunday morning and pow it was there almost instantly I could not believe it I took a pic and sent it to my closest friends and sure enough it was there for everyone to see congrats poured in but I had to sit on it I had been given the green light to test but to not reveal the outcome to my IM. So I jumped up and down with my agency director and friends and tried to wait cautiously until beta testing which wasnt until 10/4 and wouldnt you know we had to hit a snafu I had made an appointment with a lab that the clinic did not use and had to switch locations ahhh so frustrating and without my internet access find the lab was hell. To top it off I didnt know if they accepted walkins spoke with my agency director SD and she said they did but to get there as early as possible ok got that fixed then bam could not get the order off of my cell phone. Ok my IVF coordinator told me she could fax the order if I had trouble getting ok another problem soleved. I found the lab with the help of my hubby LR and he came with me for my blood draw. I got the agency to fax the order and breathed a sigh of relief!!!

So the results were supposed to be in from 3pm and we couldntn receive it because the lab's machine was broken Are you freakin kidding me really what kind of lab was this so we had to come to terms with we will not get the results until possibly Friday.On about my day pick up kids, brave traffic and make dinner after 7pm Thursday October 3 2012 Dr. G calls me personally

BFP!!!!!! and 1st Ultrasound

And so we have it I cheated this time I tested before and I got a BFP @ 4dpt and then I tested again @ 5dpt. I was sooo stoked hubby could'nt believe it he didnt want me to test because he thought that it would jinx our rituals but I did and sent out the pics to at least 15 ladies to get that unbelievable comfirmation. On Wed Oct 3 20102 my first beta was 200 wow high and my repeat beta was 1100 whoohoo stoked and couldnt believe it my RE even went out on a limb to suggest twins which is something he never does.

We had our first US at 5wks 6 days pg I wish the clinic had waited longer at least until I was 6 weeks plus but I know IP's were anxious and we saw the sac and the beginning of the fetal pole. IF was eleated that it was a singleton and IM wanted twins jusry is still out on that until our next ultrasound Novemebr 5th. pregnancy symptoms still very strong at my next US I will be 8 weeks plus and I can't wait to see it all- I want to see what has my tempermental,exahausted,angry hungry and soo sleppy I wn't forget to add the smells and cigarette smoke drive me crazy lol until next time I promise to update sooner

Mishaps on transfer day

Hello its been awhile my bum is just beginning sore after all the shots. Transfer day was hectic hubby could'nt make it because our car had been stolen the following night. So I went at it alone on the train I wa sooo happy that I had left out very early and would'nt you know it this would be the day that there was a delay there I was stuck in between 2 zones and was absolutely helpless to it. I sent text messsgaes out but they were stuck far apart from me, finally at 10:50 the train was cleared to resume and I was off. Hit the train to the metro shuttle to the transit bus and finally to the clinic with 45 mins to spare !!!!!

 I was cleared to get a bite to eat and I did the juicest hamburger and fries ever IKR so I make it back into the office and as soon as I sit down the acupuncturist calls me in  and wants to get started right away> I am hustled off and there is another glitch my bladder may not be filled enoguh so she makes me drink a 32 oz glass of water and continues with the needles half way through my IM KC comes in and she has been looking for me I am sooo relaxed she was worried that I wouldnt make it there in time and was pleased and relieved to know I was at the clinic the whole while. We go into the mini-operating room and have to wait 5 more mins for the water in my stomach to flow to my bladder and it does its surreal as Doc calls in the embryologist with the embryos to implant. and to watch it on the screen was nothing short of breathtaking.

it was short and sweet but so worth it I moved into the recovery room to allow more time for the sedative to wear off, It was homeward bound afterthat straight to bed and on bedrest for the remainder of the week to allow the the embies to take root. And the difficult TWO WEEK WAIT!!!!
