I took another test this morning. This would be 13 days past HCG and 12 past IUI. It is a BFP! The line is still not dark, but it is a little darker than the one I took Sunday. I am still nervous about thinking the best though. I actually am not sure what to think just yet. I actually feel like AF is about to make an appearance. The other thing is that I don't really feel any different. This waiting is the worst! Maybe I should make an appointment with the doctor. What do you guys think? The office told me not to get my hopes up because there was only a 5% chance. Also, There was a low count and not being the best of samples. Then again, it only takes one...right? Thanks again for all of your help and support, but mostly for making me feel welcome and not alone. I appreciate it and... .... healthy baby dust to all of you!
I actually just got off the phone with my doctors office. She said that I should come in for a blood test tomorrow and then again two weeks later for what I don't know? She told me that after that appointment I could go to my regular OB---if it is a true positive that is. She told me that I should not get excited until after the bloods and exam in two weeks. Does anyone know what the exam in two weeks is for? I am still just going to take it daily and wait and see. Actually, that's not true...I can't help but be a little excited!! Thanks for all of your help! Lot's and lot's of healthy baby dust to all of you!!!!
I am so excited for you. I know that after the initial draw they just want to see the number rise. In 2 weeks you would be 6 weeks along so they would want to hear the heartbeat and see the little bugger then. Your doctor sounds like a real downer. You should be excited, especially after you get the number tomorrow. PLEASE post as soon as you hear since we all want to know. I personally live vicariously through all of you. CONGRATS I say.

I asked the same question about the bloods when I got there this morning. She (the NP) told me that they only do one set. She told me that they are checking for levels Preg (if any) and hormones. She did tell me not to get excited yet because it is only a good sign that the test came back Talk about raining on my parade! Maybe they don't want to leave any room for error or false hope. I get it! I am excited and I think I can let myself be, a little bit at least, for now. Now I have to wait until later on today to get the actual results. We'll see when we see. I will let ya'll know when I know. Thanks!
I hear you about this! How it works around here is if I get a + test at home then I call directly to my ob/gyn dr and have a beta done. Then if it comes back positive they just schedule my 8 week appoint and let me sit home to worry! I never see the RE after a BFP and I don't get an u/s unless something is wrong until the halfway point.
Isn't it crazy how everyplace does it so differantly? You would think there would be a standard of care for this type of stuff!
I actually luck out as far as OB's go. My doctor is a friend of mine. I have known him for years...like 15 years now. I know it's kinda gross because he is a friend of mine and all, but I figure that I have nothing that he hasn't seen before. The truth is that if anything would go wrong I wouldn't want any other doctor there. He even came in to deliver my DD on his day off. He does a sono for me every time I go in so I don't have any extra worry than necessary. Ah, the perks of having friends in high places. It is funny how all offices have different policies though. I am still waiting to hear from the doctors office. I wish there was a way to go through this without all of the wait. Like you do what you have to do and find out within minutes not weeks. I don't think they get how nerve racking this experience is to go through. Thanks for all of the help and support. So now... I continue to wait.
Okay, so the doctors office just called me. It is now a confirmed !!! She told me that my levels are 65 and my progesterone is 9.5. This means nothing to me. I have no idea if this is good or bad. All I got from our conversation is that it is a definite positive. She told me that I have to come back in 2 days for more bloods and then again in 2 weeks for a sono. She told me not to get all that excited yet and to wait for the sono. So, when am I allowed to do the happy dance about this? Thanks for all the support and kind words!
I wish all of you lots and lots of BABY DUST
Hooray!!! I say get excited. There is no reason not to. You are pregnant for goodness sake!
Congrats to you. Please let us know the second number once you have it. I hope you get doubling plus!

Just an update. Went to the doctors this morning for the second set of bloods. Now I am waiting again to see if the numbers are going up. The office is odd lately. I got there at 6:30am because that is when the office opens and they told me I could come in from 6:30-9:00am for the bloods. There was nobody there until 7:30am. I called the doctor to ask him a question and he was actually kinda annoyed that I called. Shouldn't you be able to speak to your doctor? I am not one of those annoying patients either. I NEVER call and I NEVER complain about anything. I didn't even say anything after the third month of not being able to do the IUI because the office screwed things up (wrong Rx's, wrong tests, bad monitoring, etc...). One would think that the doctor and the staff would be a little nicer given the sensitive topic they handle. I guess they forget that they deal with infertility as much as we do and that it is harder for us because we live with it. Anyone else find they have this also? Whatever, just a little healthy venting while I wait. We'll call it pent up frustration or something. Hopefully extra hormones are to blame! Thanks.
Okay, so all of the waiting and nervous energy was worth it!! My HCG level is 147 and my progesterone is 19.5---a little more than doubled since two days ago. I am for sure PREGNANT!!! So I guess now it's okay for me to do the happy dance!! I have a sono in two weeks. Thank you for all of your support and kind words.
I wish everyone here lots and lots of healthy baby dust!!!
BFP again
Maybe I should make an appointment with the doctor. What do you guys think? The office told me not to get my hopes up because there was only a 5% chance. Also, There was a low count and not being the best of samples. Then again, it only takes one...right?
