holy crap

Sorry for the radio silence. We had a couple of ambiguous test results and then some IRL friends to talk to before going live with our news, but as of this morning, we're gonna go ahead and call it:



We are both so shocked. As cheesy as this sounds, I just can't believe this is happening to us. This is the kind of thing that happens to everyone else, not to us. When I started seeing a second (faintest of faint) line on Sunday, I realized just how much I'd steeled myself for the BFN. Since then, the lines have been darkening slightly, but still not enough to put our minds totally at ease. This morning, we took the plunge and went for the digital. It popped up with "pregnant" in under 30 seconds!

We are happy and excited and humbled and stunned and hopeful and a hundred other good things. I've been feeling pretty optimistic and excited for the past couple of days, but after today's conclusive results, I'm on top of the world.

Thanks to everyone that has cheered us on and sent positive energy when we needed it most. I'm quite certain we couldn't have survived IVF without you!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I can't imagine how happy you must be, or how surreal it must feel to know that don't have to try to get pregnant anymore...you ARE pregnant!

So so so happy for you both!

hi, i just found your blog (we are new to the ttc online community) and CONGRATULATIONS!

thanks for all you have written, the bits about your folks mirror the tentative excitement my parents are letting bubble out of them as the try to keep it in. and the moment in the amtrak station...

Oh, fun story: I was traveling for work yesterday and I found myself in a cramped, dirty Amtrak station at injection time. I tucked myself into a stall for my daily Lupron and Follistim fix and I couldn't help but wonder how many people had shot up in that very stall before me. It was totally one of those "How did I get here?" moments. Good times.

made me laugh out loud at my desk (ooops). we are preparing to enter the medicated pre-ivf scene and it good to know what we have to look forward to ;)

again, biggest woo-hoo to you both!
