The two-week wait ended today. I went to have the test done in the morning and at early afternoon I couldn’t wait any longer and texted my doctor. He called me back and said “congratulations!”. My answer was “really?”. Even with the hopes in the back of my mind I was expecting a negative more than a positive. Not that I’m complaining!

Now, to me the test results look within the normal range, but he points out that a BHCG above 2000 might be an indication of multiples, which would mean a split embryo since we only transferred one. I did NOT see that coming. We were absolutely prepared for multiples. First, because of the recurrence of multiples in my family, and then, because at 40 years of age, we were going all in. We only decided on a single embryo at the last transfer because the doctor really recommended that. Boy, am I glad we did that. I don’t know if it’s possible to have two embryos and one of them splitting to end up being 3 but that would definitely be too much!

The next steps are another test in 3 days and an ultrasound in 2 weeks. After the test on Saturday we can confirm a positive pregnancy, developing well, and at the ultrasound we would be able to know for sure that there is at least one live embryo with a heart beat growing. Having had a blighted ovum before, that is going to be the actual confirmation I need.

So, for now, another two weeks to wait; but the hopes are more than rising. And if we are meant to have 2 for the price of 1, then bring them on!
