You know that pendulum I was talking about? How it swings out or swings in?
Right now it is out in happy land. I hope like hell its stays there for a good long while.
There is a positive pregnancy test in my house. From MY pee. At 11 days past ovulation (8 days past a 3 day transfer). I am hoping like hell this one decides to stay around. We all know that lots of shit can happen, but, unlike last time I am making the choice to be elated from the get go. Fuck angst and nerves. Nothing is in my control right now except how I process this fucking awesome step. The choice is mine: submit to the hallway of doom and bad memories or run for the hills to twirl and sing.
I’m twirling.

holy shit!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love how the IVF/FET thing seems to go so fast as it hadn’t occured to me that it was even close enough for you to test yet. I’m so excited and I’d go for the twirling too!!
YIPPEE! I agree with enjoying it to the fullest!
I think you need a analogy than a pendulum though — how about a rocketship going up and up and doesn’t look back and it keeps on going until it lands on Planet Mommy?
YEYY!!! What could be more happy than visiting a blog for the first time, only to revisit it the same day only to find the best of news. Now I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you
I feel like someone sucker punched me in the stomach… and I couldn’t be happier. All the breath is out of me, oh my god Calli! I am just holding my breath for another nine months…!
Twirl, twirl, twirl, girlie!!

Calli!! Holy shit holy shit holy shit! You made a nugget! We helped make a nugget! I’m so beyond excited for you. You have unequivocally made my day!!
Twirl away darling! I’m elated for you. Much love.
OhmyGOD! CALI, I’M SQUEEING! This is wonderful!
I’ve been thinking of you a lot, and shit! HOORAY! That’s a nice dark line!
(After my chemicals, I started to heart the dark lines)
That is WONDERFUL!!! Keep those angsty thoughts at bay and celebrate your growing love (loves??) with… well, nothing you would usually celebrate with!
WHEW!!!! That’s a nice strong line, too! So happy right now.
Congrats!!!!!
YES!!! so friggin’ excited for you. do you think my mental health coworkers would think “I” needed some mental health help if i started twirling in my office? screw ‘em! i am doing it anyway! i wholeheartedly agree with reveling in the awesome of right now and discarding the rest of the shit! so so happy for you!
Oh, I am beyond elated for you.

Okay, so my little comment will be buried, but I still felt it important to add my crossed bits to the party. I will not send out sticky vibes (ugh), but rather, I will implore the summer iota(s) to please hang around & make him/herself comfortable. Pull up a chair, little iota(s), & start, you know, growing some fingernails & the like.
Delurking to say: TWIRL YOUR ASS OFF GIRLFRIEND!!!
Woo Hoo! That is a beautiful photo!
Embrace the twirly joyful feelings!
That is awesome! Here is to a darker test tomorrow!

First time to visit your blog and my what a great day you are having! So many friends, a positive pregnancy and twirling to boot. Congrats!!!
Woo to the motherfucking hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wish you could have heard the Very Audible GASP that escaped my mouth as i scrolled down from the title and the “+” came into my view… i am grateful that no one was walking by the lab, as they would have surely been compelled to investigate and well… “my internet friend is pregnant…” isnt exactly the kind of things i share with the work peeps.
i am going to join in the twirling…
much love to you…..
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Have come back three times today to look at your fabulous +. Smiling from ear-to-ear for you!
I’m LATE, LATE, LATE, LATE, LATE, LATE, LATE, LATE, LATE, LATE yet again! This is the BESTEST news I have seen in a long time!
There are ten lates up there. One for each of the minimum number of months you will also be “late.” This one MUST stick!
I’m crying tears of joy for you, on the floor in my closet because this is where I come to write late at night when Frank is already asleep. I’ll have good dreams tonight, for sure!
OH EM GEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are SO happy for you!
Super strong positive for so early…and clearly not from HCG shot!! Yippee yahoo!
Tell your uterus to keep up the good work!
Holy Hell! Yahoo! I’m twirling with you.
Congratulations! My favorite zen-like saying feels so appropriate right now: Leap and the net will appear. Enjoy your leap!
I’m so excited that I’m back a second time to wish you congratulations from J. This is beautiful.
I so wasn’t expecting to see a test yet……how chuffing exciting!!!!
I shalt be twirling……I shall be moonwalking for you thus looking cool while celebrating (or maybe not so cool as moonwalking was an 80′s thing…but hey, who gives a shit)
Fabuloso news!
Looking forward to seeing the next test (hoping to see at least two a day until you’re 8 months gone!)
Congratulations from over the pond in England.x

Oh Cali, I am so thrilled for you. I’m sitting her watching my shitty local news and getting all teary. No doubt my Mom is wondering why I’m finding the weather so upsetting.
I cannot yay enough. This has made my fucking tomorrow (as it’s already 11.27pm).
I owe you an email as to why we never hooked up when you were here. Needless to say I’m feeling very sad about that.
Oh, YAY!
Oh, I am dancing as far as my IV tubing will let me go! Have fallen behind in my emails as I have been in hospital without wifi ( how arcane) but am now home, so will email soon. I am over the moon about your positive results!
