Do my eyes deceive me!?! - BFP

Well,

 I had a weird day yesterday, just not feeling right, actually feeling like AF was coming - which is weird because it would have been too early by about 6 days because of the meds making my cycles longer. I got home late last night from my 2nd job and discussed all the weirdness with DP. We decided to go ahead and test this morning because if AF was coming then we would know today anyway. 12dpiui, 13dpo.

After 5 months, 4 IUIs.... I got a faint second line on a FRER. It was light, but definitely there. We then had a debate - maybe this is too soon and DP even mentioning the Ovidril.... LOL. I managed to get a second sample before leaving the house today and tested that. A darker second line. WHAT!??!

So I called the RE office and went in for a Beta. It was totally weird. I feel like I'm going to throw up - out of nerves or I don't know, but I'm cautiously excited. I know DP is sitting at her desk at home and biting her nails. I paid the extra $ to have them run it today. I can't believe I'm getting a beta test done at all! This procedure was the most painful of them all (sometimes it didn't hurt at all), we had the lowest sperm count at 12 mil. viable (still good, but it's been double that sometimes) and I had one good egg. This was my first Femera cycle.  We also went in 25 hours after my shot this time instead of the full 36.

I'll definitely update when I get the news later!

  • Cautious congratulations to you two! 

    Both times my partner's inseminations worked (we has a loss in the summer) my partner said it hurt. The RE said it was because the timing was right everything was especially tender. Also, with this pregnancy she came home the night before we were supposed to test absolutely convinced she had her period because of a little pink spotting and feeling crampy. The only reason she tested the next morning was because I insisted. She didn't wake me up to do our usual waiting ritual, so I awoke to her padding up the stairs mumbling, "I don't get it, it says positive, I don't get it, hon, will you look at it...?"
