Are you sure...

After my transfer i had to use crinone twice daily for 12 days and pregnyl injections every 3 days.

It was the first time i had to use these as this was my first ever fresh transfer.

Let's just say i felt like total CRAP!!!

I knew that these injections would delay my period, and when it still hadn't shown up by test day i was still sure it was on it's way any moment. I even considered not doing my pregnancy test as i was certain of what the result would be - i was ready to ring up the clinic and organise my medicines ready to start again.

But... i thought i'd better do the test as they would ask me about it anyhow. Almost instantly, two lines appeared. No way, it couldn't be possible, it must be a mistake.

I phoned the clinic to advise them and headed to pathology for my blood test. Sure that the result would still say that it wasn't really happening.

When the clinic phoned me with the results though i was absolutely blown away. "are you sitting down" she said over the phone, "yes" i replied - my hcg level was over 1100!! No way, it really was happening - apparently at this stage of pregnancy they only expect a level over 160 - mine was way higher than that!!

I was a crying blubbering mess on the phone - guess they must be used to that though.

So was booked in for my first scan on 6th November - by this stage i would be 7 weeks and 1 day pregnant.
