9dp5dt - BETA DAY

Again, I woke up early...this time 5:00am. It was too early to put in my Estrace so I lay in bed waiting. That felt like hours. I finally got out of bed, got ready and drove to the RE's office. I was really worried to get there, because of the spotting, but again, I put on some pumped up Glee music and chanted to myself that I needed the number to be over 100. I also was nervous, because the last time I was in that office, I was having my hysterical breakdown over the stupid ultrasound findings. Luckily, no one brought it up and they were all really supportive.

I got home, and needed to calm myself down so I POAS - another digital. At 7dp5dt it said I was 1-2 weeks pregnant (I still can't believe that). Today at 9dp5dt it said i was 2-3 weeks pregnant so I felt like my number was getting up there and going in the right direction.

I had to teach one class this morning and then I had a three hour break so of course I rushed home. A message was waiting for me from my local RE. It was good news.

My beta came in at: 252. I am shocked.

At 11:03am (9:03am mountain time) my CCRM nurse called. When she asked how I was my reply was 252 happy. I told her that I am still concerned about the spotting and that I really need things to continue to go right on Saturdays test as I have never passed a second test, which is when she asked if I ever had a number that high before. Um no. She told me the dates of my next two ultrasounds and my due date. I couldn't believe that she was so confident.

For today, I am overwhelmed, ecstatic, scared shitless and so thankful. Especially to all you who have supported me in ways that I will never be able to repay. THANK YOU.

Symptoms: cramping, nervous stomach, headache from hell, sore boobs.
