Today is July 28, 2014, These early post will go up after we have made our official announcement.
We did our transfer on Monday July 14, 2014. We had one beautiful embryo to transfer. At transfer Frosty was already hatching. Everyone was very happy with Frosty’s quality. Transfer was uneventful and we were in and out of the office in less then an hour.
Around Sunday July 20th I started having some early pregnancy symptoms such as frequent urination and pregnancy brain. I blamed these symptoms on other things. Early that week DH and I discussed taking a pregnancy test early since he would not be with me the date of our beta. He had to work and this way we would find out together. I caved and bought wondfo pregnancy tests and some First Response pregnancy tests. I started POAS (peeing on a stick) on July 24th, 10 days post transfer. The cheapie wondfo tests were great. As you can see bellow the line gets darker everyday!
On Monday July 28th I went in for my first beta. My RN called me that afternoon with the good news that our beta was very strong at 2414, 14 days post transfer.
We have been over the moon excited about baby #2 and it has been really hard to keep it under the radar. We will see how long we last keeping this a secret. At this point we have told a select group of friends but don’t want to tell the whole world till we have at least seen the heart beat.
Ant is very excited about being a big brother. We actually told him about transfer and how they put a baby in my belly. When he started asking about having a sibling is when I started to explain to him how I needed help and about his conception a little bit more. I told him that we were going to try one more time and if it worked he would be a brother. If it didn’t work it would be just the 3 of us. Ant would then correct me and say, “No, the 5 of us. You can’t forget Hammy and Athena our cats.” So far he has been great at keeping our secret but definitely wants to share the good news with his friends.
Later today on the 28th on the way home someone rear ended me. It was minor but it stole part of my joy and replaced it with fear. Luckily none of us were hurt seriously and Frosty seems to be doing great still. What I am most upset about is that my joy has been temporarily lost. I want to find that excitement again about Frosty. Over the next couple days I hope to recapture the joy we initially felt when we found out the news that we are going to be adding to our family.
