First Beta

Saturday, March 10, 2012

I woke up really early yesterday morning feeling unsure about getting my first beta number.  I think it was a mixture of anxiety, excitement, fear, dread...  This was the moment of truth.  In a matter of hours, I would know if I'm truly pregnant or if this was going to be another chemical pregnancy.  I was praying for a beta of at least 100 or above at 14dpo (11dp3dt), so when the dr called me (instead of his nurse), I knew the news had to be good.

... and the number is...

100

So far, so good.  I go back for my next beta on Tuesday, so hopefully that number goes up to over 400. Now it's a whole new waiting game.  Uggggh, this train isn't stopping anytime soon.  Full speed ahead.  ;)

Symptoms... still the same.  Tired.  I used to have such a hard time sleeping and could literally go a day or two without it.  Now, I can't make it to 10:00pm without passing out... and that's WITH having a nap or two during the day.

My bb's are fine.  They only hurt or are sore during the evening, but other than that, I don't feel any different.  I feel cold all of the time, which is weird.  Shouldn't I be feeling warmer?

My dr. gave me the green light to stop progesterone injections, but I think I'm going to continue them (I know. Insane huh?) until I see the baby's heart beat.

But first thing first... Getting the second beta.  Ugggggggh.
