Our little scare....

So had to go to the ER on Saturday because I had a small blood clot. I almost didn't even say anything but then I got kinda worried so I called R and he was pretty positive it was a miscarriage. So I was freaking out, but the hospital said everything looked fine. Still it was nice to go into Dr R's office and see the little guy waving at me. Now breathing!! So we're back to normal, next visit will be a little past week 10 soon we'll be on our own no more RBA. Looking forward to that.

More Lab Results

Everything looks great –

Beta HCG 12,925

Estradiol 3215

Progesterone 24.8

That's what I got today so Beta keeps going up which is great! I do my ultra sound on Thursday at 11:30. Then we can see when I can start being weened off the meds and hopefully stop the shot in my bum Hooray!

labs, labs and more labs

which really just means more bruises all over my arms... I told the stupid lady at LabCorp not to use the big ass needle to use the butterfly, but listen to me? nooooooooo....duh. So now we have to at least wait a whole week for me to heel a little for the nest blood draw. So far lab results have been incredible I think even negative Nancy (our RBA nurse who I think has been sure it's all going to go wrong) is shocked. Setting up an Ultra Sound next week. woohoo! We're like preggo, It's in there!

The results are in amigo....

and it looks good!! R said he got a call today from RBA and we're pregnant. Gotta go back in on Thursday just to make sure things are still good, but all looks great so far. I kept telling R I had a REALLY good feeling we were just fine. I was pretty sure when the other day at work Gary my coworker stop the door short and I spilled hot chocolate down my shirt ....and I cried....yeah, I was pretty sure then that I was pregnant. So are you ready for the longest 9 months of your life is the email I sent my manager. :D I do believe that she has a bet going on how cranky (being nice) I'm going to get. I think I'll be good........well maybe ;9

Beam me up Scotty....

said the embryo. We now have transfer. So it is complete, we went on Wednesday and it was Sci-fi for sure. Not that I could concentrate on anything other than not peeing my pants. So here's the thing you have to empty your bladder then an hour before the procedure drink 40 oz. of water to fill it full and then hold it (crossing legs now out of reflex). I guess the thing is that it puts you uterus in the right position for the transfer, then after transfer you have to hold it for 5 minutes. Well that didn't happen I think my bladder was so full the nurse was worried I might cause my uterus to contract which would have been a problem, so she let me go early. Chris said it was really cool to watch. R didn't get to watch because he was wearing cologne which they asked us not to do. I am glad it's over, I go on Monday to get blood work for Beta. They didn't really explain what that is so as soon as I get a definition I'll let you know. I think that when it's high it's good, real blood pregnancy test on the 28th.

So about our trip to Atlanta, BORING!! We were pretty much stuck in a hotel the whole time. The first day we took a cab to a mall close by and walked the whole thing then up the street to a Borders. We spent as much time as humanly possible in Borders and then we went to a place called Twist. First let me tell you I was almost run over by an SUV whose driver was on the phone, lovely. I didn't even know he was about to hit me untill his brakes squealed and he was inches from my thigh. So about Twist, it was great we had awesome service and the food was brilliant. I got Tempura battered shrimp and ham and cheese croquettes. Chris got Shrimp with cheesy grits and charizo. After that the only other trip out was we went to a restaurant with R called Parish SO GOOD!! I found it because it's owned by the same people who own Two Urban Licks. Chris and I both had the buttermilk fried chicken with grits and maple glazed brussels YUM! Then we went out to Arbys after the transfer, exquisite, roast beef with cheese amazing, just kidding.

The only other thing eventful was the hotel where we stayed had someone smoking next door to us. UGGGGGH all night long breathing that made me want to barf, not to mention it triggered my allergies so bad. Speaking of now I swear it's early to say pregnant but I swear to god every smell is intensified by a thousand and bothering the shit out of me. I swear it took 4 hours for me to get R's cologne out of my nose just from the trip to the airport. I'm a little sensitive anyway but wow.

At any rate back home now and ready for Christmas. I love Christmas. I'll have Beta news tomorrow, till then...live long and prosper.

It's on....

Here we go packing up and heading to Atlanta. Wish us luck! Like my Dr. said come back and see me pregnant. That's the plan......We leave at 5:04 and should arrive around 5:30. Implant day is either tomorrow or Wednesday. Let's do this thang......

Dear Endo Lining.....

Sorry for the harsh note from before, but thank you so much for complying. I am happy to say that we will be heading to Atlanta. I am not happy to say that the shot Chris gave me was quite dramatic. That need is as big as my pinkie.....

painfully yours,
Me!
