I need a Magic 8 Ball

The beauty of the Magic 8 Ball is that you can ask it whatever happens to be on your mind. AND follow-up questions. But my new apartment in Big City, Europe doesn't seem to have one.

So I chose the next best option. And as I (very quietly) unwrapped my exorbitantly priced c.lear. blu.e pee-stick, I asked the following questions:

Are we crazy?
Is my life about to get much, much wilder?


And the pee-stick responded: "Zwanger."
And JD, reached at his local bar in X, responded: "Whooooooooooooah."

So, is it too early? My trigger shot was Friday 2 weeks ago at 9:40 am but I didn't ovulate until 10 pm Saturday night. So with the time difference and all it's really 13 full days from the trigger shot but only 12dpo. Could I still be testing the trigger shot?

And of course, if this is a real positive, there's always that lurking question of how many are in there. I did have 30 follies this cycle, although we triggered early to minimize the risk of high-order multiples. But there were at least 6 mature follies when we triggered, and quite possibly more. And of course, whether I can figure out how to get a BETA here in Europe. Or even an u/s. Before I return to NYC in mid-May.

I am well aware that I am the luckiest woman in the world.

Woohoo!!! And I love the term Zwanger ;)

My trigger was also out 7-8 days after I triggered, so looks like that is a most definite +!!!! Congrats!
