Testing...
So I broke down and tested "early" this morning. Yea. Shame on me! I am a horrible person? :) LOL
So anyway...I wake up at 4:30 this morning feeling like my bladder was going to explode... I took a dollar tree test and a first response. They BOTH came out super super faint... I totally freaked. I took the dollar tree test apart and examined it. I was so nervous. I waited a little while and it didn't go away haha... I was pacing the bathroom and was freaking out a bit. I cried. I text O right away letting him know! I was sooooo excited for them! :) The only thing was that they were so light that they didn't show in any kind of pic. I was a little upset about that...I really wanted them to see what I was seeing. I went back to bed ... mostly just laid there because there was no way I could go back to sleep knowing that I was finally pregnant! :) So I "woke back up" at about 8 when I was able to pee again and re-tested. This time only with a first response. It came out darker then the first! Which was amazing because you could see it on a pic! :) So I sent that to O too. I brought both tests down stairs and made sure that everyone who passed it examined it. Everyone else saw it and said congrats! :)
SOOOOO...I am going to retest in the morning and hoping for a darker line! :)

Transfer Oct 4th!
Ok so... I will update from the top! Because trust me, what's coming deserves it's OWN post!
So anyway...I flew out for the transfer. O and J met me at the airport and were wonderful. They helped me with my luggage and we got settled in at their house. The next morning we all got ready and had breakfast! O and I went to Dr. Zouves' office and later on J met us there. Our appointment was 10am and they didn't end up seeing us until about 11. We had a little "meeting" and they sent me in to do vitals and get dressed :) They gave me valium. OH MY! I am not used to taking muscle relaxers, or even any kind of pain med for that matter! So it totally knocked me out and made me feel almost drunk. Which was weird. I was so worried I would say something stupid about the procedure. LOL. BUT I ended up sounding pretty intelligent from what I remember...considering the state I was in. LOL. So anyway... we go to do the procedure....I'm all in the stir ups and everything...Dr Z proceeds to tell us that 1 in 50 transfers the embryo gets stuck in the cathater. Imagine that. WE were that ONE. So they reloaded and we were done! They were BEAUTIFUL embryos and we got pics :) It was wonderful.
We were in the recovery room and J had to get back to work! POOR THING! I felt so bad that he was running around all day! O stayed with me and we got our post-procedure instructions. Some new meds and new needles. :) O JOY! So then O and I left and headed to In-N-Out. They kept asking me what I wanted for lunch and that's all I could think of! It was the best decision of my life at that point. LOL I was so out of it and ended up napping right after. Later we ordered dinner and everyone camped out in my room, picnic style and we watched "Dancing with the stars".
It was a really great experience and I couldn't imagine having it with anyone else! Everything was almost perfect (besides being 1 in 50)! O drove me to the airport the next day! It was great.....
