Remember how I said I was likely going to be pregnant on my birthday just year but wouldn’t know it?
It turns out, I will know for sure if I am going to be a mom on my birthday. As in, my blood test likely will be ON MY BIRTHDAY.
I think that is cause for a minor freak out. It will either be the best birthday ever, or I will hate my birthday when it rolls around each year. I’m hoping for and thinking about the first option.
I’m going in Friday for my baseline u/s and b/w, and if there are no cysts (which I’m not too concerned about because I’ve only had one cyst), I will start follistim on Saturday. We’re aiming for my retrieval between March 8-10 and my transfer that weekend. Of course, a Friday transfer would be on Friday the 13th, but I’m trying not to let that bother me. I’m hoping the pregnancy test on my birthday is a good sign! If our transfer is Friday, my test will be the day before my birthday. If we have a Saturday transfer, I will find out if I will be a mom on my birthday. Scary!
So we’re a bundle of emotions over here. We’re super excited yet nervous at the same time. It’s going to be quite a ride.
Wait, are we still doing that? I thought we were just going to steal a baby like in Raising Arizona?
I will be thinking positive thoughts and wishing good things for you! Maybe it’s serendipitous that it’s my b-day this month too!
I hope you get good news on your birthday! That would be quite the gift, wouldn’t it?
I love my brithday and can’t think of a better present!!!
This is so nervewracking! I am excited and nervous for you too.
I am praying it is the best birthday ever; you guys deserve this!!
What a birthday present that would be!!! What a special, memorable day. I sure hope that it’s GOOD news. Holding good thoughts for you!
hey…happy birthday!
My pregnancy blood test is scheduled for our 6th wedding anniversary!!! So either we’ll celebrate the excitement of finally starting our family or I’ll just celebrate the anniversary by getting drunk and having a cig! Obviously, I prefer the first one 😉
Good luck with your retrieval..I don’t want to scare you, but I felt great up until the night of the actual retrieval. Best piece of advice I can give is to free up the few days after – no matter how unnecessary your doctors tell you it is. If you end up feeling good, then you have some free time! This was you’ll be back to your routine during the waiting time and hopefully distracted!
Good luck!!!
LOL at Joe’s comment! Good luck.
I hope you get good news, but don’t let it completely ruin your birthday forever if you don’t hear what you want to hear.
Oh good luck with that. Try not let the **Second Friday the 13th this year** get to you lol. Hope this will be one of your best birthday pressents yet!
I’m with Joe !
I have my fingers crossed for you- looking forward to hearing the update
