15dp5dt update

so many things going on in my head. just have to make a list.......

*i decided the endometrin was killing my "queen victoria". she just couldn't take it anymore. so, as of sunday night, i have switched to PIO.
i was terrified. so many horror stories about the shots. and really it has been fine. the first day it hurt about a half an hour afterwards, but yesterdays shot was easy peasy.....and no pain afterwards. i think that dh is loving giving me a shot in the ass!!

*i have been feeling so sick. nausea, heartburn, indigestion, gas......it's terrible!

*friday was our first beta..... i was so happy that i was able to talk the nurses into letting me come in before the 3 day weekend, because i knew i would be going crazy if i had to wait until today. so we went for the bllod test.....i asked them to call dh with the results. i just thought it would be better if he told me. so he came home from work after he found out the results.
"it was positive but low" he said. "46"
i was pretty sad.....thats how it started last year after ivf #1. low beta that turned to shit. he said that the nurse said it was still super early because i made them push up the beta. and she had seen many pregnancies go to term after a low first beta. so i was given instructions to continue meds and "stay positive". (much easier said that done)

*i made i through the weekend unscathed.....tears only once, and really i had no idea why i was crying!

*beta #2 was today. and the news was ....

GREAT!!!!!!

they were hoping for anything over 150. my beta came back today at 289.
what a beautiful number!!
my favorite, the receptionist called to tell me. she said "guess what". i asked what? and she screamed, "you are definatly pregnant!"
i was instantly in tears. she asked if i wanted her to call dh, and all the other girls in the office were in the background laughing and cheering. it was awesome.

*we go back thursday for beta number three.

today i am so happy!!!!

  2. OMG!!! I am SO freaking excited for you!!! I have been thinking about you all weekend and praying that you get good betas... you are definitely pregnant, girl!

    My beta started out low, too - mine was 55. I totally remember the feeling of, "great - just barely pregnant. Hope it stays that way." But uf your beta went up that much after a few days, that is such good news! I can not wait to hear beta #3's results. Those little embies are just getting situated for some comfy months ahead :)

    YAY, YAY, YAY!!!!
