Pregnant after a Loss

Hating the beta wait

There was so much drama about getting the draw in the first place and now I'm kicking my heels until sometime tomorrow, with no idea when they'll call.  Hate this part. . .  And then the wait for beta 2, depending on beta 1 numbers.

I need a better distraction.  I've got a good book, but I keep distraction myself from it by poking my boobs to see if they are still sore or not (like that wouldn't make them more sore).

This out of my control thing is uber annoying, really.  Wish there were a crystal ball or a window into the uterus or something!

  • Fingers crossed that your betas double!
  • Oh, goodness, hello!  How're you doing? I'm hanging in, but really need for this stuff to be clarified soon!  Feeling more optimistic than I have in awhile, but I'd like something more concrete than plastic and pink dye to back that up!

  • You are not alone. I had my blood drawn this afternoon, and am also going through the wait. I really hope they call us in the morning so we both don't have to sit around thinking and worrying about it all day. Good luck! I hope your numbers are good!

  • I rarely visit the bump anymore, but had to jump on and tell you I am going to be thinking so many positive thoughts for you and your H. I still read your blog and check in on you, I'm hoping for the absolute happiest and healthiest 9 months for you. I literally screamed when I heard about your update!

  • Awww, thanks, gg! I need to update the blog.  August is just such an awful month and this one was worse than usual.  Work is insanity - I started working with a new department (in addition to my current two) that is even messier than my current two combined (which is awful) and between that and Gabe's anniversary, and a car accident (minor, but scary as because I lost total control of the car), and now this . . . well.  Crazy insane.

    And the drama surrounding getting the betas was just icing on the cake.  I hope the numbers come in early just so I can concentrate enough to get something *done* tomorrow, since I'm already so behind.

    And goodness - 33 weeks with #2?! Congratulations!

    Well, I'll be sure to check in on when you do update. I cannot believe it has been 2 years since Gabriel was born. I hope September calms down a little and you can put yourself first!

    Thanks for the congrats, fertility is not to be taken for granted, so we decided not to wait around. :)
