THE day

This morning I went for my beta test (I decided not to POAS before today). I was really uneasy not sure what to expect, one moment I felt sure we were pregnant and then the next I was sure we weren't. I didn't expect to get the result at the doctors office so hubby didn't go with me (and as it turned out he was needed at work). I dropped my daughter off at school and took my son to my cousins, she so graciously agreed to watch him for me- she has a son that is 8 months older than mine so it worked out well.
I get to the doctors office and they ask for a urine sample, so I kind of figured I was going to find out one way or the other this morning. The next thing they did was the blood draw and then I had to wait in the "library" conference room. Luckily I didn't have to wait long! My doctor walked in and said we are PREGNANT!!!!! I am soooo excited and I couldn't wait to call hubby. She said that as soon as she did the pregnancy test it showed positive- and she gave me the test as a keepsake.
I just got a call from the doctors office  which of course scared the crap out of me because they didn't say they would call this afternoon with the lab work so I had a bad feeling. However they were just calling me with my lab numbers- my progesterone number is good (26.5 anything above 20 she said is good) and my HCG is 350 which she said is a really good number for first draw. So that was all comforting news once I was able to calm down from the fact that they were calling!
I got back Wed. for my next blood work/ HCG numbers- hoping and praying for a 700 or better!!!!! I am really nervous about this one because my last pregnancy a little over a year ago when I went for my 2nd blood draw my numbers had dropped and I miscarried:(
I already have my first ultrasound schedule for November 4th (the Thursday after we get back from vacation).
Needless to say we are VERY VERY excited but also nervous and cautious. Please pray for me for Wed. blood draw for BIG numbers! THANK YOU ALL for all your encouragement and support I don't know how I would be able to do this without your all's support:)

  5. Yea! So excited for you guys! Praying for good numbers on Wed. I totally understand about being cautiously optimistic. It is hard not to be when you have experienced a loss before. I was chided my my FET Dr. today for that. He said that I should be 100% optimistic until there is reason to be otherwise. Hmmmmm... easier said than done. 700+! 700+! 700+!
