They called this morning with the results of my first Beta for some reason the lab was "waiting" until they called to see why it was taking so long. Anyway first came in at 767. She said thats a nice strong number and she's not anticipating that my second one wouldn't increase as needed we'll see of course... just gave my blood at lunch and will get results tomorrow.My progesterone came in at 20.4 which is only slightly over what they wanted so we retested again today.nbsp;This is finally becoming real. I'm overwhelmed by boughts of tears, anxiety, joy, frustration, and fear. I know that's totally normal but whoa, what a rollercoaster of emotions!nbsp;Thanks for all your encouragement last week for me to call into my RE's office instead of my OB. They were nice enough to get me into the rotation there, which also means I can have my first u/s at 6.5 weeks. :

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
Thanks so much!!! It's so surreal still but getting more and more real with every step. Congrats and great to see you as well!
