Emotions

I had my embryo transfer on 25th March under anesthetic and all went perfectly to plan.

The two week wait surprisingly went quite well for once - obviously had plenty of other things happening to keep my mind off it. I even took a week off work - first real time off work in 3 years!!

I let myself get excited and believe that this transfer would be "the one" and when i tested on 4th April, i just hoped that i would finally get my positive i have been hoping and praying for, unfortunately the test was negative.

I went on thinking that there may still be a "very small chance" i still could be pregnant, so when my period did not show up on 6th April as it should have, i did another test on 7th April which was once again negative.

Finally today, my stupid period has decided to turn up - 2 days late!!! Grrr.

So many emotions going on right now. Wondering what this universe has planned for me - wondering why, after all i have already been through, why this one part can't be easy??? I certainly know that when i do get pregnant that pregnancy is certainly not going to be easy, with the likelihood of extended bed rest.

On the other hand i was extremely excited to find out that someone i had met on facebook that has gone through Cervical Cancer and had the same procedure as me, has given birth to a gorgeous little boy today after defying all odds and making it to 37 weeks in her pregnancy.

Miracles really do happen. I'm just hoping and praying that a second miracle will come my way - look at my little girl (my first miracle) every day and she gives me the strength to pick myself up and go on.
