Yesterday was the third beta test to check hormone levels.

After a lot of wondering and hoping the call came.

Nurses need to start with high numbers first, just saying…

The call started off with the nurse asking the basic questions,  “Can I speak to so-and-so, this is name-and-name from place-and-place, The doctors reviewed your blood work and you are at 109…”    Wait,  What?!  1900’s to 109?  How can this be?  what happened?  I knew I shouldn’t have run that fast to catch some stupid kindergarten from almost being run over by some idiot parent…

“No, no you are in the 109th  percentile.”  Not 109 the level!  I went from wicked sad to wicked elated. “Sorry, your HCG level is 4,100” {Huge sigh of relief and a yay on my end at this point.}  See?  See Puddle on Floor, See Puddle reform into a human.

Gezz, Big numbers first Lady,  BIG NUMBERS.

Because my levels are “Wonderful” I am scheduled to have my first scan on Monday.  Monday!   Hopefully I get to find out how “far along” in the process the peanut is and get to see the uterus expanding the way it should be.

I have been feeling slight twinges of pain on the right every now and then.  I chalk it up to expansion and normal beginnings of pregnancy.

Still cautiously optimistic.

Doctors need to let us women know faster.  Don’t they know it just isn’t nice to keep a lady waiting for 7 hours to know if she is going to binge on ice cream or jump over the moon?

3:30 the doctor finally calls, and..

 

BIG. FAT. POSITIVE!

My HCG level with a single embryo transfer is 865, and my progesterone levels are over 60!

I will go in again on Wednesday for my second test to see any changes and hopefully to see my HCG increase! Until then I get to enjoy shots, shots, shots!

I’m super excited!  I must remember to be cautiously optimistic.  Be excited for the best, but prepare for the worst.
