So Sure
I don’t know what it is, but I feel so confident that this month I really am pregnant. I guess it’s the fact that we had an IUI, that we had four follicles and our chances were so good. I just feel so positive. My brain keeps thinking of baby things, looking up pregnancy tickers, and thinking that I just need to wait until next week when I can make it official.
Plus things are aligning:
* In september a girl on a forum did a “psychic reading” for me (and I am no believer, but it’s amusing right?) and said she sees good news for me TTC-wise in december.
* If I were to get pregnant this cycle I would be due August 28, which is only 6 days before my own birthday. I really want a September baby.
* And I ovulated on a full moon.
* Not to mention that we had FOUR follicles. One of them has to stick, right?!
One more week. Just gotta get through one more week. I am considering testing for several days this coming week to watch the trigger leave my system… and to make me feel useful and productive.
Honestly, not for any sort of “relax and it will happen” reason, but I think you shouldn’t test a bunch this week. Keep busy, find another project to focus on – it’ll help the week go by so much faster than if you’re testing all the time. Maybe dive head first into Christmas shopping and wrapping? And do you have cards done yet?
I know I’m on the edge of my seat for you, my fingers…toes…everything is crossed!
Yeah, you’re probably right. :) Though part of me wants to make SURE that the trigger is out of my system before I test “for real” so when I do get my positive I’m not sitting there thinking, “But it could be the trigger and NOT me being pregnant!”
Christmas… yeah. That’s REALLY what I should be doing. Cards… well…. they’re sitting there ready, pretty much. Unfortunately the photos I was going to include IN the cards won’t be here until last next week. So I don’t know what to do…. to send them without (and waste that money and those photos!) or just to wait??
Wait on the cards. But work on the presents! And I’d say test once at the end of the 2 weeks, then once a few days later. (I’d suggest just waiting an extra week like I did, but I know better, heh.)
Hahaha. Yeah. I thought you were CRAZY, my dear.
Will do on the cards. And the presents. Must shop.
I just wanted to be certain when I tested that the answer would be right… ;)
LOL And look how that worked for you. :P
I’d say something asinine here about how it could work for you too – you set me up so well – but I don’t think you’d appreciate the humor ;)
lol You’re a meanie. :P
Oh I seriously hope so! Even if it means you won’t be at Con. :P
Yeah, that would be the one downspot. :(
it would be soo worth it though. I am really, really rooting for you girly – and I knew I was pregnant with Evie 16 days after ovulation – which I guess would be about right for you – and there are no false positives – only false negatives!
Yeah. :D I don’t mind missing DCon – money-wise we were thinking about skipping it next year anyways. But to have a baby… oh absolutely, I’ll miss anything.
(Though we do still plan to go to BC for christmas next year – if we don’t my mom will throw a FIT!!! If the baby’s born in August or September he/she will be old enough to travel. And we can show him/her off to my entire family! Oh oh how much do I want THAT.)
Darling….. the 2WW is the worst. But please don’t assume that because you had 4 follicles and DH’s counts were good, that it is going to work. You are setting yourself up for a HUGE letdown. I pray that you are one of the few lucky ones where it does work…. but temper your enthusiasm with reality. 16% chance was your math, I think.
Praying for you,
Kathy
Oh I’m sure that by the time I test I will be convinced that I will never be pregnant. ;)
