I secretly named my 3rd and 4th embryos 'Caesar and Destiny'. But shh, don't tell hubby. Who knew: Having to relax can be such a stressful affair! After my womb lining measurement reached 8.1mm last Friday, I was scheduled for the embryo transfer to be done on Tuesday 26 May. The whole apprehension and uncertainty is such an ordeal.

After the unhinging 2 weeks wait, today is finally the day for the pregnancy blood test. Woke up really early and went down to the clinic in full anticipation. The blood test cost me $40.99. $40.99 for a pregnancy test!! Daylight robbery, I say. Peeing into a pregnancy test stick would have just cost around $5! I wonder how much pregnancy tests cost in other...

(The Two Weeks Wait Trilogy summarises how I spent the hellish 2 weeks Post Embryo Transfer.) Last 5 days before the blood test... My sanity have all but fizzled out like a crazy untangled ball of yarn. Day 13 (29 Apr, Wed) Had a nightmare that period did come last night. My period dreams have always come true within the next 2 days so I'm frantic...
