It still doesn't quite feel real. I POAS on Sunday morning (what was approx. 13 DPO) and got the boldest line I've ever had the good fortune to see in person. Immediately went on progesterone suppositories and e-mailed my doc. First beta was Tuesday, over 900!!eleventy!!!! Second beta was today and we're well over 2000. I thought my doc (she's been the one helping me through all of the crazy) was going to cry. Now, to the nitty-gritty:
Cycle/Month: I have no effing clue/25 (I think)
Timing: Decent. I'm on OPK only girl, so we did EOD through most of my cycle and then hit ED for the last 'high' reading day and both 'peak' days. Did EOD for a week after that.
EDD: It's 8/18 based on LMP, but I think it's going to be closer to 8/24ish since I didn't O until closer to CD20.
What we did: Sex with Preseed. I've made some lifestyle changes, doing my C25K, but I don't know that had any more affect. The big thing here would be that I had surgery to remove those polyps and septum.
Symptoms: My boobs and nipples are killing me. Some cramping, but it's more like my vag hurts than uterine stuff. Nothing sounds good to eat. And constipation.
How I told H: I shoved the test in his face on Sunday and told him I was e-mailing my doc. Pretty standard stuff for us. And then told him that the betas went well. He's been at a killer seminar this week, so I don't think it's sunk in for him.
The Mushy stuff: Aaaaaaaaah. I don't know what I would do without this board. This has been my safe haven and safety net for a long time, and I honestly would not have gotten through this year nearly as sane as I have without you all. Having you has made this better, even at times when I though better would never come. To anyone who says this isn't a community or it's full of bullies: You can all suck it. This is the most amazing community I've had the good fortune to stumble upon. And I'm thankful every day I didn't wander over to other places first. I'm just overwhelmed at your awesomeness.
So, I'll have another beta on Monday, and then an ultrasound on Tuesday. Probably not time for a heartbeat yet, but if you could send your good vibes for a healthy sac that's in my uterus, I would really appreciate it. That would be a grand Christmas present!
