These past 10 days went by fairly quickly... well until the very last day. Monday was a long long day of waiting and hoping and wondering and speculating. My labwork was drawn at 10 am and by 4:30 neither the IF or myself had heard any results. Patience is not my strong suit, luckily my husband kept me occupied with lots of little things. By 4:30 my patience had run dry and I think my husband was tired of seeing me pace so I called the clinic only to hear that lovely busy signal. 15 minutes later I got the great news that my betas were in. They drew my hcg (pregnancy hormone) at 7 days post transfer and 10 days post transfer. They want to see the first beta over 6 and the second beta double. My first beta was 23 and the second was 62!!! That means we are PREGNANT! (well at least chemically, they don't consider it to be truly pregnant until the 7 week ultrasound when you can visualize a heartbeat.) That news made me really finally take a deep breath and relax... momentarily. I now continue on my medications and they will draw another HCG level at 20 days post transfer where they would like to see the beta above 1000, which would show them that the embryo(s) are implanted and growing as they should be.
My IF and I are really happy. It is one hurdle out of our way now I just wanna keep seeing things progress as they are suppose to. I want no big hurdles or anything to divert us from my IF's bringing home a healthy baby or babies? The miscarriage that we suffered in Nov. really has tainted my view and I don't wanna have all the excitement only to suffer again. I know that nothing can be done but what I am doing... so I will keep hoping that all works out for the best.
I have been so fortunate and continue to be. I have the best support system ever. My friends, family and fellow surro's have been so so supportive to me and the cause. Thank you for the calls, texts, babysitting help, laughs, words of confidence, prayers and everything else. xoxo to you all.
Great news Marcie! Praying that number to be over 1000!
