Will be updating my blog as soon as we get the numbers! I have to admit I feel a little bad about the title of the last post - I was in a quirky kind of mood.
I'm anxious and excited about my beta today. I went and checked the last two betas and they were only 62 and 54 at the same point - 14dpo! I know I remember being pretty worried, but they slowly grew and so I put my fears aside, or tried to.
This time I'm really hoping we're getting higher numbers and better doubling times.
I am having exceptionally strong round ligament pains, which is freaky for so early in the pregnancy. At night if I roll over or stretch in the morning, I am in such pain that I actually gasp and freeze my movements until I can slowly work the muscles into submission. Even if I am bent over a project at work and stand up suddenly I am forced to slow down and move with caution. I'm hoping this is a good sign.
By the way, my current beta numbers are in the highest category for those women who went on to have successful single pregnancies. My numbers are also in the second highest category for women who went on to have successful twin pregnancies. Yikes. I'd rather have one super healthy baby than two who might struggle.

- My husband, David, and I had been trying to have a baby since November of 2007. After 'letting things happen', we got the amazing news that we were pregnant in June of 2008. Sadly, that pregnancy ended at 9 weeks with a natural miscarriage. After two more chemical pregnancies, we turned to fertility treatments in 2009. That decision was a disaster, with lousy medical care and poor monitoring. In December of 2009, we made the huge decision to move onto IVF. Things fell into place like magic and we began treatment on January 15, 2010. After a blighted ovum in March, we did a successful FET in June, only to endure another blighted ovum in July. We kept up and underwent another IVF in September/October of 2010 with the arrival of our son, Brogan in July of 2011! After our lovely success (finally) we decided to undertake yet another IVF treatment and hope for a sibling for our little red headed boy. Well... so far it's worked. Our story continues below!
I can't wait to see what your numbers are...
ReplyDeleteAs for the RLP, I had that very early on with Ashton, so it's definitely within the realm of ordinary. I'll be watching for your post.
