My dear friends and God, I am pregnant!!!

To tell you the truth, I did HPT 8dpt and 9dpt and got negative results. Knowing that it was too early to test, I was still disappointed and frustrated.  I almost thought this cycle is not working since last time I got HPT+ at 9dpt. Actually I woke up this morning at about 4:10 am and went to bathroom and I didn’t even want to do HPT again. I still had a headache. I didn’t feel well and I didn’t want to see “Not Pregnant” sign on that digital stick. After I went back to bed, I felt sad and angry and frustrated. I was turning and tossing and couldn’t follow asleep any more. I had to get up at about 7am to have my breakfast since I was hungry.

As usual I I had an egg and a piece bread and a cup of milk. I also took 2 Tylenol pills to kill my headache. Then I went to bathroom. I didn’t pee too much but I managed to pee on the HPT stick just to confirm the result one more time. I was expecting to see “Not Pregnant” so that I can move on with my life. I put the stick on the bathroom counter and didn’t stare at it like what I did last two times. I didn’t care about it too much any more. However, when the 3 minutes flashing time over, I saw “Pregnant” on the stick!!!! What the ****!! I couldn’t believe it at all. I yelled to my husband “I am pregnant! I am pregnant!” He was surprised and came to me anxiously. He was excited as well when I showed him the stick. Oh my God, I didn’t know what to think and feel.  1 minute ago I was sad and depressed and just wanted to move on; 1 minute later I was excited and I am pregnant! All of sudden, I am feeling  like a pregnant woman! I am pregnant indeed. I have the stick to prove it!!

Now what am I going to do? DH wanted to take a picture of HPT stick and I totally agree. So here it is the “Pregnant” sign:

We arrived at the Clinic at 9:30AM and the surgery started around 10:30AM. Everything went smoothly and 12 eggs were retrieved. Most of the day I lied down on bed or coach. I took Tylenol every 4 hours to release the discomfort. I also had a little bit bleeding. I am feeling good in general.  Tomorrow the lab will call me and let me know how many eggs are fertilized with ICSI. I can’t wait to be PUPO.

Today I saw a counselor at the IVF clinic. She was so nice and professional. She understood our journey and feelings. I was comfortable by just talking to her. Not like the other psychologist I saw another time, she didn’t push me to answer some questions that I didn’t want to answer.  She helped me to resolve a few concerns that are currently bothering me and provide me some suggestions to relax myself. I will see her again next week.

Be positive. I know that I am taken care of. Everything will be fine.
