DOUBLED!!!

Today our numbers were supposed to double from Monday and they did!!! Our Beta HCG was 412 so it actually more than doubled!! I was a nervous wreck ALL day as the nurse didn't call until around 2pm, so I was prepared for bad news. But, I was so happy when I answered and the nurse was on the other line, as opposed to the doctor...because I know their system well enough to know that if the nurse is calling, it's good news and if the doctor calls, it's usually bad news. We are SO elated! The nurse said we won't come back now until March 1st for an ultrasound so we have a LONG 3-weeks to wait until that happens.

Beta HCG Positive!!

Since our transfer, we have been waiting and waiting! What a long week and a half it has been. Finally today, on Monday, Feb. 7th, we had our first blood draw, which was checking for a positive Beta HCG test, indicating that we were pregnant! The nurse called with the results around 11am and said our number was 181 and very positive! This was such great news and we are so excited! Tonight just for fun, Josh and I took a home pregnancy test just to see what it would say. It turned positive within seconds!! After all these years and many negative pregnancy tests, this was very exciting for us as we have never seen a positive preganacy test before! The next step is to wait for 48 hours and do another blood test. Will update more on Wednesday!
