Friday night I had terrible cramps and woke up feeling very depressed. I just knew that this cycle didn't work. Jared told me to stay positive but I was preparing for the worst. Even though I swore I wouldn't test early, I decided to go to Walgreens and pick up a HPT - First Response. I immediately went home to test and was floored when I saw this:
After almost two years of trying, I finally was able to see what a positive result looked like! I couldn't believe my eyes! And I just knew it couldn't be a false positive, since the HCG from the trigger shot was already out of my system. I immediately called Jared to share the news and he was just as excited -- although he told me to not get overly excited and wait until we get the official word from the lab on Monday. That was easier said than done! I couldn't stop smiling!
I then woke up this morning to test again to make sure I didn't have a faulty test, and again it was positive! OMG! I'm completely overjoyed! Granted, I still need the blood test to confirm tomorrow, and then again on Wednesday. And yes, we still have a long road ahead of us, since IVF pregnancies can be higher risk for miscarriage, but just having a positive test shows how far we have come! I'm not sure when they will be able to tell if both embryos implanted but I'll be happy regardless!
I appreciate the love and support we have gotten from all of our family and friends. Just to listen to me when I needed someone to talk to meant so much. The simple call, text, or email meant more than you know and kept our spirits and hope alive. I really never thought we'd see this day and here we are.
