So... I'm preggo
It doesn't feel real, to be honest. And I'm sort of freaking myself out thinking this is too good to be true, that it's a joke being played on me by a cosmic gremlin, that maybe my tests are defective or something... That I'm going to get my beta drawn and find that it's not viable. So much fear!!!! But I'm trying to look on the bright side and enjoy the fact that right now, as I sit here typing this, I am pregnant!
Cycle/Month: 6/10
CD/DPO: 22/11
EDD: March 7th, 2015
Timing: IUI - pretty straightforward.
What we did: I burned sage, chanted some sutras, and invoked the spirit of Sappho praying for a baby.
Follistim. I used Follistim. And Ovidrel. And donor sperm. And I am still immensely enjoying my Prometrium, and pray I will continue to use it for the next 12 weeks.
How I told C: So yesterday I broke and used a Wondfo strip. It was solidly negative with FMU at 9 DPO, and figured since I had plenty of them it wouldn't hurt to take one yesterday. I was watching the dye and then noticed a hint of a line. I said "C! Look! I see a second line!" Then she came over and was like "Uh... I don't see anything. Sorry." Then I got all bummed thinking I was making things up in my head, and as I walked away she said "WAIT! There's a second line!" And then we both watched as it got darker. Neither of us truly trusted it. I said I would take a FRER later on to confirm.
Well, she had to work late so I peed on the FRER right when I came home and it was positive! I wrote her a card from our future baby saying "Mommy and I are hungry and want to go out to dinner to celebrate my conception!" She loved it.
Symptoms: Eh... I don't feel any different, to be honest. Just the usual symptoms from my Prometrium (sore breasts, anger, fatigue, hunger). I guess I feel mild cramping but it's so mild I wouldn't notice unless I was paying attention to my body.
Mushy Stuff: I love this board, and am so grateful for the community here. And as much as I love it, I hope I don't have to come back I've learned a lot from you ladies, enjoyed the gifs and the snark, and have really come to care about a lot of you. I'm going to be stalking the hell out of you guys and offering my love tits!!! I hope to see many more of you over in March 15!!!
