XP: Beta news (BFP Mentioned)

mmhopefulmmhopeful member
edited January 2014 in Trouble TTC
Yes, you read correctly!  =)  

My 1st beta came in at 209!  Progesterone is at 61.4.  Not sure what it is supposed to be but the nurse said it was good.

We are cautiously happy and have been crying, smiling, and hugging one another since I got home.  

Your prayers continue to strengthen me and have kept me strong to get to this day.  It was SO WORTH going "beta or bust!" My next bloodwork test is Thursday to see that the numbers are doubling in a healthy way.  Then the nurse mentioned it would be one week later from this Thursday for another bloodtest.  Again, I am just stunned, and quite frankly humbled by the result news as we sit here together.  

I will be staying here and on IF board for a bit longer in order to see where this leads in the next few weeks if it's ok.  It's all surreal!

************** Siggy Warning************


Married August 2012 -- Me (40 yrs old) My husband (45 yrs. old) 

RE referral from ObGYN in late Jan. 2013 -- Testing Confirms Unexplained IF
