We just got the call from our RE clinic and we are pregnant!
Today is 12dp5dt so I guess that makes it 17po. My beta came back at 114.9.
We are happy with that number and have another beta appointment on Monday.
It has been a hard and stressful week leading up to today. We told ourselves over and over that we weren't going to test but of course we went and bought some hpt. Saturday morning we squinted and saw a really really faint line. What?! We couldn't believe it. We got really excited but tried to remain cautiously optimistic. We had a digital test but of course I didn't have to go to the bathroom so we left for the day. L did the Warrior Dash while I watched the niece and nephews. Thinking about POAS the whole time. We get home that night around 9:30 and we took the digital test. There it was "pregnant!" Woah! So of course I POAS everyday. Getting pregnant on the digital and a second line all week. I think Milly our dog knew I was pregnant. She has been extra attached to me the last week and insists on laying with her head on my belly.
Well Monday morning I started spotting. Sorta freaked out so I called the RE office. She told me it was normal and just to continue my Crinone twice a day. Monday evening I go to the bathroom and I am bleeding. Like brownish mixed with bright red. I start to freak out and L wasn't worried at all. Tuesday morning I'm still bleeding. By now its like a medium flow, Still freaked out I call the RE office again. She tells me its normal and some people tend to bleed. All week I was worried. Trying to wrap my head around the bleeding being "normal" and of course I was on DR. Google all week. I know, its horrible but I couldn't help it. Of course I stopped bleeding today.
Now that the bleeding has stopped we can focus on our beta test Monday and our upcoming u/s. Oh, and resting. I'm so exhausted!
I-) Update: Got the results of my 2nd beta test. Today is 15dp5dt and it came back at 365. My RE is happy with the number but my progesterone dropped to a 10. For now I will be taking the Crinone in the morning and doing the progesterone in oil (PIO) shots in the evening. Tonight was the first one. Ouch! We have our first ultrasound on Friday!
