i.am.pregnant.
wow, just seeing those words written there are giving me butterflies in my stomach. after 6 months of trying on our own, 9 IUI's, 1 IVF, and 2 FETs, not to mention dozens of tests, hundreds of blood draws, and i don't even want to think about how many injections... it finally worked. 2.5 years and finally a diagnosis of endometriosis. and finally for the very first time in my entire life, the most coveted pretty 2 pink lines i ever saw.
in all honesty, i started POAS on Saturday (5dp5dt) and saw a very very very light line. i went in and showed hubby and he was like, that's not a line! so i POAS at night and the line was a teeny weeny bit darker. And we started to have a little hope. Sunday, i POAS again, and was disappointed to see BARELY that faint, am i hallucinating line again. By Sunday afternoon, i switched brands of tests. I was using some no name tiny strip sticks i got off amazon that IMO suck.
i peed on a First Response Early Result test and walked out to play with the dog while i waited the 3 min. in the meantime hubby went in the bathroom, and yells, how long do you have to wait for the test? i go, 3 minutes and it hasn't even been a full minute yet.... he comes out with a giant grin and says well you already have a second very visible line!

So i pretty much knew that we had a good shot of being pregnant when i went in for beta this morning. i was just nervous to hear the #s especially since today i'm only 8dp5dt so its a day earlier then they usually test. but since i always go on tuesdays for delestrogen/progesterone levels, they said they could do it one day early, but not to be alarmed if my #s were a bit low. which, it was 160 today. i have no idea if that's high or low, so i guess we'll see what it is for Beta 2 which is Friday.
we have a long road ahead of us, i know this. but just seeing that second line gives me hope. hope that it really was just the endo keeping me from ever getting pregnant and that we have a shot at having a biological family. #thankyoujesus #bfp
at least 90 more IM shots. bring it on!
