Elpis so glad that all fine and you're allowed to go home. Exhausting day I'm sure with all the stress. take care.
Conception story... we were lucky, I think. I?m 37 (then 36) and we started trying in September, conscious of lots of friends who?ve struggled with IVF / ISCI and all sorts and very conscious of my age (he?s younger and v.healthy) so wanting to get started, in case it took ages. I found it incredibly disappointing each month and wondered how people go on to have this disappointment every month for years and keep the morale going. But anyway, we kept going, with a phone app to entertain us and try to keep a vague track of things.
In Feb, within a week of conception my boobs had grown an entire cup size (literally falling out of bras that I owned) and told DF I must be pregnant. Nah, he said, you can?t possibly know already. BUT LOOK I said. Anyway, a week later, on the way back from a business trip, I could wait no more and went to Boots in Victoria and bought a test. I went to the public loos which unfortunately had broken lights so just that v.dim emergency lighting. I POAS, then stood there in the gloom trying to work out something, anything, on the stick. I used my phone as a torch and then had to sit down. Blimey. I was pregnant. (and very impatient, clearly). I spent the journey home alternately grinning from ear to ear and thinking ?fuck. I?m pregnant. Oh. My. God. What do we do now??. DF and I weren?t able to go home as people were viewing the flat so I went to the pub and asked him to meet me there. He asked how my day had been. I said ?I?m pregnant? and then stared at him, willing him to respond happily. To my delight he looked ecstatic and his eyes shone and he said ?are you sure?? and I said ?well the test is [thrusting the test at him]?. ?that?s fantastic? he said. And it was.
ooh I'm getting all emotional at the memory. what a lovely man he is.
