I’m 3 weeks and 5 days pregnant today. I did another test this morning, actually, I peed and Telis dipped. He wanted to be involved and insisted I wake him up when next I tested.

Anyway, the line was stronger today. It’s either one very strong embryo, twins or even triplets but there’s nothing about the line that suggests quads so I think we’re safe from that. It’s probably just two anyway.

I feel so much better! I have no urge to do anymore pregnancy tests. My anxiety is mostly based on my historical experiences and since I have strong tests, I know that my embryos are fully secure in there. The hard part will be approaching eight weeks. After my six week scan, I will probably go for a scan every two weeks up until week 16. It’ll be expensive but I need to maintain some sanity!

I think 16 weeks is also a good time to start telling people. Only Sana and Bailey know at the moment.

Like I said, I want to enjoy this pregnancy so I will start taking bump progression photos from Friday! I’ve also downloaded pregnancy apps and joined pregnancy groups on reddit. Maybe it’s a bit premature but women who conceive unassisted don’t restrain themselves from doing these things so I won’t either.

I’m just so excited to be pregnant! I want to meet these babies! I don’t want to lose them at all. I still haven’t prayed and so far this whole process has gone smoothly. It’s just so reassuring that the follicle growth and blastocyst attrition was kind to me. And then the scheduling for the embryo transfer was super straightforward; there were never any unexpected complications along the way. I absolutely recognise how fortunate I am and I feel so blessed to have gotten to this stage so easily. Now I just need an easy pregnancy with two or more take home babies at the end!

My sweet little Pea and Bean! I can’t wait to meet you both!
