went in for my beta yesterday and sure enough... it was positive. even though i had a good feeling that was the case, it was still sort of surreal when the nurse told me the news. the waiting yesterday was torture. i never thought six hours could go by so slowly. but now... it's a whole new world of thoughts. i can finally let myself imagine more than just getting pregnant... now i can think about BEING pregnant and (fingers & toes crossed!) being a parent!
the other big shocker is that they want to do the first ultrasound next thursday. i don't even have to go back for another beta in between. maybe it's because my number was relatively high (534). either way, i'm super excited for the ultrasound and just wishing and hoping that things continue to go smoothly. i do feel confident about this pregnancy... it's not like i'm sitting around waiting all gloom and doom for something to go wrong. but i also know that i'm only four weeks pregnant, and that there's a lot of time still before i will feel totally confident that it was be successful.
i am glad, though, that since i've been on this assisted fertility path that i have a lot of support in these early weeks. i know a lot of ladies who have felt lost waiting for their first appointment and wondering what's going on. but not me... i will continue seeing the doc regularly and stay on all of the medication that should help to protect the pregnancy. that's a reassuring feeling. i like still being able to DO something rather than just going about my business. even if that "doing" is injecting myself with progesterone oil and sticking suppositories up my yahoo!
i'm still feeling the same, but at least now i know for sure i can call it "morning sickness" (though that "morning" part is a joke... it's all the time!) and treat it accordingly. i've gotten a lot of advice already and will continue to research that topic. so much more to say but no time now... just so excited!!!
