All things have a way of working themselves out

Had my beta today!! 574.2!!! So awesome! That is doubling every 48 hours, exactly on schedule. I am quite a bit relieved today. And the ultrasound...they wanted to schedule it for 6 weeks!! So perfect, I didn't have to make any decisions about that!! It is scheduled for Thursday Nov. 4. I am very excited but still a bit nervous. It just really needs to be good. Everything is so aligned and it feels so right!! I just need this to work!! I am really hoping to surprise my mom with some ultrasound picture of my little bean!! Keep me in positive light...

Beta update!!

My beta on Thursday was 144!!! Holy cow that's awesome!! Having another on Monday to make sure we are still going in the right direction. I will schedule an ultrasound also.

Here is my dilemma: My doctor is going to want to schedule a 7 week ultrasound. Well I will be in Myrtle Beach with my mom that week! It is always something! I am really excited about going to the beach with my mom. She is flying to Myrtle Beach from NH, we are going to stay for a week then drive back here. She will stay for a few more days then fly back. So with that being said, wouldn't it be kind of cool to have my mom come to the first ultrasound if I scheduled it for Monday when we got from the beach? That would be 7 weeks and 5 days. But will I be completely insane all week while I am trying to have fun with my mom, maybe it would be a distraction to be at the beach? Do I want to ask for an early ultrasound, like on the Friday before I leave? That would be 6 weeks and 2 days. But if the ultrasound was bad or not what we would hope to see, (which is not going to be...positive thoughts, positive thoughts, positive thoughts) would I then have a even more terrible week at the beach!! AAAAHHHH! This is driving me nuts right now! Feel free to give me some input! I'm freaking out here.

Alright, got to think about getting ready for work. Tonight is my Friday! Hopefully it's a good one!

Wow I really need to update!!

Sorry I have been so slack in my updating!! Holy cow. OK starting from the last post. I countinued to go to acupuncture once a week. She gave me some awful tasting herbs to take 3 times a day. On October 5th I went in for my ultrasound to check my follicles. And WOW I had 2 big ones!! One was 28mm and the other 21mm. Both big enough to ovulate!! I also had taken 7 days of Clomid instead of 5. So they gave me the trigger shot in the office that day and told me to come back for the insemination the next day!  When the nurse called me back into the lab and said that the sperm specimen had won the prize! It was the best frozen sperm she's ever seen!! WOW! So we did the insemination. I had 2 acupuncture treatments that day, one before and one after the insemination. I went home and waited for the next 12 days!

On Friday night October 15th I had some brown spotting while I was at work. I thought well this is it I am going to start my period and early at that. But nope, nothing. Saturday, nothing. Sunday afternoon when I got up I was sooooo not going to test. I just didn't want to see that single line. But after a few minutes of debating I peed on the darn stick. To my surprise I could see a very very faint second line!!! I thought well this can't be, but a line is a line is a line...

Monday morning I got up at 6am and tested...a darker faint line!!! And this morning at 6am and even darker line!!! Went for my Beta hcg and it was 51.2. I guess that's normal, what really matters is how much it goes up in the next 48 hours. Next beta is Thursday morning!! I am still cautiously optimistic and will probably not tell anyone for a while! But for now...

I am pregnant!!
