BFP - WOW

So we figured we would see a BFP on the blood work from Friday, since I had done about 9 different HPT's and they all came out positive.  
But I wasn't going to get excited until I heard about the blood.  

Friday my levels were 112.  Not sure what that means, but a friend of mine who's been going through this process for a very long time (unfortunately) said that is a healthy level.  So that's good to hear.  I go in tomorrow for my next blood draw.  We will see what the levels are then.  

I just can't believe it.  I'm so excited, terrified, grateful, and even sad all the same time.  Emotions all running wild.

  • Thank you everyone! I'm such a worrier, and it's hard when you can't just look inside and see what's happening whenever you want. I got my results from Thursdays draw and it was 975. The nurse at Aurora was very happy and I go on the 15th for the ultrasound. Plus Jo is coming home tomorrow!!! That makes me super happy.
