I just found out a couple of hours ago that our 3rd try at IVF worked! I am ecstatic....over the moon....over-joyed! There aren't words that can describe accurately how I feel. My beta numbers were great! Basically, it's a quantitative measurement of the amount of HcG in your blood! My number is 2,364!! The nurse said this was such a great number!
I'm still nervous....as I'm sure all newly pregnant women are! I just have to continue to pray for the best. In about 1 1/2 weeks, we will have an ultrasound to check out the embryonic sac and fetal heartbeat!
Wish us luck....and keep those prayers coming!

The Agonizing WAIT!!
I don't know what's worse....the two week wait after the embryo transfer, or the several hour wait for the results of your blood test to come back!! I had an appointment this morning at 8:45 for my blood pregnancy test. This is the test that determines our fate! You would think that after taking 4 (yes, I said 4) home pregnancy tests over the past couple of days (including one this morning before I went in for my appointment) and getting positives on each one that I would be a little more confident going into this. Well, I'm not! My nerves are shot! I'm trying to keep busy, but time is going nowhere! I guess the only thing left to do is go back to bed and take a nap. I will fall asleep for what feels like forever....but it will wind up to only be 1 hour. Then what?
What more can I do though? I have taken all the necessary steps to make everything turn out as successful as possible. I took off work for the entire IVF cycle so my body could be stress free and relaxed. I stayed calm during my time off. I didn't overdo anything. I prayed every day and I put my trust and faith in God's hands. He knows what's best for me. He has a plan for me. Although I can't always say that it's easy to understand this, I know that I have to accept it! There's no use trying to justify what happens. Things happen for a reason. If this is meant to be....it WILL happen!
