I"M PREGNANT!!!!!

True story.

I underwent my final FET on 30th March.  I persuaded my RE to put 3 of those pesky blasts inside me and I named them Hewie Dewie and Louis.  (even though I've always assumed I'd have a girl.)  Louis(e) looked fit to explode... was hatching as s/he went in.  

I was sick at the time of transfer but no fever... spent 11 days coughing my guts up but instead of visualizing the embryo's being forced out I visualized at least one of them being hugged in tighter by my body's violent convulsions.  

I spent the first 8 of my 10 day wait trying to get better and not thinking about my presumed NTT.  In fact I'd been planning my next vacation and a change of lifestyle for when this failed again.  I'd loaded flight apps onto my phone, asked friends to join me on vacation and was B planning my heart out. 

On day 8 I figured it was time to go to the Dr as I was afraid that I had a chest infection.  I figured I'd might as well test to get my disappointment over with.  I sat on the toilet intermittently checking the FRER doing nothing.  3 mins later I'd decided to give up and throw it away but when I took it into the bright kitchen I saw a faint line!!!!  It got a little darker and I called my SMC friend to ask her if I was going crazy and took a pic of it for her.  Suffice to say she confirmed my diagnosis of 'pregnant!'  

I tested 2 more times over the next 24 hours and by the 3rd time the line was showing instantly.  Def pregnant.

Beta today came back at 142!  Next Beta is on Monday.  

I can't believe this is happening.  I'm so happy.  I know there's a lot of milestones to overcome and that my unicorn uterus is just one of them.  For now though I'm wallowing in my first ever BFP!

And no, I haven't told the new guy yet.  I will tell him after my 2nd beta.  If he's going to run, I'd prefer he does it now.  

And the one thing I did differently that I actually felt made a difference is I went to a PT who specializes in Uterus anomalies and had a Uterus massage.  She gave me exercises to do before my transfer.  It was very strange but it made my uterus feel charged and present.  I'm going to continue to go to her as it's good in encouraging your uterus to stretch for the growing life inside.

Will update with my next beta... thanks for staying tuned.
