Calculating how far along you are when it comes to IVF is difficult!

Or rather, it is when you are setting up a countdown on a site, haha! But, I finally fixed things!
4 weeks 3 days. It was an amazing feeling to walk into the director of the clinic's office and have him tell us we are going to have a baby! The way they do it in Japan is, you see a different RE just about every time. We chose one of the premiere, top rated places and there were a few crappy moments, but overall they were very good! I found out firsthand that when having any procedure involving a catheter going through the cervix, ask for whomever has the most experience! (The director did our embryo transfer and I literally felt NOTHING)
It still doesn't feel real. I have a few minor, nagging symptoms, but that's it. It's been a hard journey, but I'm crazy exited to be here! My husband and a pen pal friend I made off of the countdown to pregnancy site supported me a lot, and my mother.....was her usual self.
I feel out of my element, living in Japan, sometimes. Raising children here is only going to make it feel worse, I'm sure, but things will somehow work out!
