The waiting game.

Well I made it home in time. The day after I got there I emailed my supervisors and told them that for personal reasons that I needed to leave no later than Saturday morning. I apologized and offered to pay for the expenses out of my pocket but that there was no way I could stay at the conference. They were really supportive and offered their sympathies to whatever was going on and to do what I needed. I was grateful for that. With no explanation it would be really easy to not be understanding and persistent in knowing why. It was definitely a tender mercy and I'm thankful for their kindness. 
Saturday morning I took the HCG trigger shot to force the eggs to release from the follicle and then we had to have timed intercourse, meaning you have sex 12 hours and 24 hours after you take the trigger shot. I was home Saturday night. We did our thing and now we wait. 
That all happened last week so we have another week before we know if it worked. I'll go into the doctor to have blood work done to see if I'm pregnant. I bought literally 10 pregnancy tests despite Matt's cautionary requests because I want so badly to see a positive test! I've seen more negative tests than I can count. But, I have to control myself. I'm excited we've made progress! This is the closest we've ever been. At the same time though I'm TERRIFIED of getting too excited and then not being pregnant.
