For those of you just getting to know me, I'm a bit spoiled, rebellious, and a bit stubborn at times. That's what they tell me anyway. So, when they doctors say I can test in 10 days, you know good and well I'm waiting that long. The embryos transferred were 5 days old. It takes about that long for a naturally fertilzed egg to travel to the uterus. That means when implanted they feel right at home.
In reproductive terms, we are 5days post 5 day transfer (5dp5dt, took me awhile to get used to the abbreviations). I debated for a while on whether or not to do this. What an awesome Christmas gift a positive test woudl be for Melissa! Since a pregnancy test came in my care package,I thought "What the hell...let's go for it."
No problem, I thought. I've done this 4 times before, I thought. Just pee on a stick and wait, I thought. As you can tell by the look on my face, it was the longest 3 minutes of my life. I was never this nervous with my own. Now, there's someone else depending on me. I don't want to let her down. I can hardly stand it. I almost send Pubs in there to check the results,but decided to put on my big girl panties and do it myself.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I can't believe it!! Goodbye newly formed abs...We're gonna have a baby! After doing some research on IG, i noticed my positive was quite dark for a 10 day old embryo. Many other surrogates and ladies trying to conceive have faint lines where you have to quint or place a penny on the test just to get the camera to focus. Some even filter the pic to see if the line will glow. No me! The consensus was clear. We were not only having one baby, but 2! My next dilemma was how and when to tell Melissa. I decided to send her a suprise text. She'd think it was just something random like usual.
She sent me one first asking how I was feeling and if I had tested yet. "Don't worry if it's negative." I sent her the pic and she sent back one of her crying. I was ok until then. After seeing her so emotional, I lost it too. I called to make sure she was going make. "I'm still taking it all in. I had already told myself it wouldn't work. I thought we were wasting our time. I didn't think it was in God's plan for me to be a parent." I mananged to hold it together while on the phone but that was one of the most heart breaking things I've ever heard anyone say. I can't even imagine being in that position. "Well, you were wrong, Mama." was all I could muster up to say.
"Now we need to see if there's one or two!"
