Alfie and I have been married for three months and have been trying to conceive a baby for a while, so one night last week Zoe decided to take a home pregnancy test and it told her that she was not pregnant. So we decided,since we both want this baby, that we would try in-vitro fertilization(IVF).
We had been told not to have sex for 4 days so that the fertilization procedure could work and Zoe could get pregnant and that if she was not pregnant, we could come back in a week.
4 days later
The doctor said that I could take a home pregnancy test 4 days after the procedure if I wanted to or had one stashed away in the bathroom. I did that and 5 minutes later, I ran out of the bathroom, found alfie and ran into his arms. He saw me and asked why I was crying. I showed him the test and the plus sign on the screen in the center of the stick. He held me in his arms and talked to my tummy, even though he knew the baby was absolutely nowhere close to being able to hear him yet. He knew that we should make sure I was truly pregnant before telling everyone we know.
Alfie suggested that we go to a doctor to see if I really am pregnant. I decided I would ask Louise if she wanted to come with us to the doctor.
On Tuesday, Alfie sat in the driver's seat as I was in the passenger seat, and we waited for Louise. When she finally walked out her front door, she said" is there a reason we are going to OB/GYN, chummy?" I said" I'll tell you when we get there"
When they walked in the door of the building, I said to louise "sit down,chummy. I wanna tell you why we're all here." Louise said "are you pregnant?" I said "yeah, and I feel really good about this, I am already feeling nauseous." "I really am glad you asked me to come." Then we heard a voice say "zoe sugg, it's time to go into the doctors office." Alfie walked over to me and kissed me, he helped me up and walked into the room with me. he told the doctor "we're married."
When they walked into the room, I instantly felt like i was going to be sick. "The smell..." I said, worried that I would vom. The doctor had me lie down on the table and pull up my shirt so he could put the blue gel on my stomach and they could get started with the ultrasound. As soon as I saw the image show up on the screen, i started to tear up. Alfie stood there with his mouth hanging open. I looked over and smiled when I saw a grin appear on his face. This was the first time anything like this had ever happened to him, so it didn't surprise me how happy he was at that moment. What surprised me was that we were actually, finally expecting baby zalfie.
