A Different Kind of TWW

I finally got my BFP (big fat positive? am I using that correctly?) at 4 weeks. I'm still somewhat in disbelief, but my complete loss of appetite for 85% of the day and then ravenous starving sessions that begin at 5:15 tell me it's a bit more real.

Anyway, I found out early because after all the 💉💉💉 and the IUI, they specifically told me which day to test. I found out at 4 weeks, and everything was confirmed via blood work.

Because of our methods, there's a higher chance of multiples, so assisted fertility patients usually get an ultrasound at 6 weeks while others wait until 8 weeks.

So at this point I'm worried about some kind of crazy ectopic pregnancy (I've no reason to really think I've got this; I'm just really good at stressing myself out).

But the other part is that I'm SOOOOOOO curious about how many babies I'm having. When we did the IUI, 3 eggs looked ready... so I guess 1, 2 or 3 is possible. Honestly, I'm hoping for 2 or 3. This has been expensive, and although I have no dilutions about how hard multiples would be (at first), I hope to not have to go through fertility treatments again. With 3, I'd stop. With two...

I feel like this TWW is weighing on me more heavily than the typical kind. After 7 years of trying, you get used to the BFNs and just ignore it altogether.

February 14th is my 6 week appointment 🤞 I hope we can hear little 💞!
