Finally! A BFP!

Yesterdays beta result was 387! I am in shock.

T and I were in Smokey Bones, a BBQ restaurant, having lunch when the call came. I answered rather hesitantly, but figured I've played this beta game 7 times before with IUIs. I hoped that I could "suck it up" and be a big girl if the news was once again bad.

The call was from the nurse IVF coordinator, and it began a little differently from my previous calls. The first few seconds I didn't even breathe, wondering if the difference was only that the news was coming from a different person after a more expensive and intense procedure.

Then, the nurse asked, "Did you cheat?"

I adamently told her that in fact, I did not use an hpt. I was too much of a wimp, afraid of seeing no line or only a faint one.

Then she told me, "You are very pregnant. Your beta result was 387. There is a possibility of twins."

I return on Monday to see if the numbers are rising, and if that result is good then an u/s will be scheduled. I am barely over 4 weeks, so it is still so early. However, it is amazing that we have made it this far.

The rest of the afternoon resulted in a hectic rush. I hadn't reordered my meds, and I was out of estrogen patches. My progesterone is a compounded cottonseed variety, and it had to be reordered Friday to be ready on Monday, since I will be out after Sunday night's injection.

So right now I'm just trying to stay calm and hope that things still look good on Monday.
