Tuesday's News

I know I've been silent, locked away in self-imposed isolation.  I didn't mean to leave you hanging, we simply didn't have any news.  We found out shortly after the transfer that our other two embryos did not continue to develop.  As silly as it sounds, that didn't seem like it was all that important in the grand scheme of things.  I mean we transferred 3 embryos -- three chances to create a life. 

Last Saturday I started experiencing horrific cramps, a very severe headache, and some light spotting.  I'm happy to report the headache is gone, though the other two symptoms come and go.  I've been doing my best to take it easy, hoping against hope that what I experienced was implantation bleeding. Called the nurse yesterday, and she said we'd just have to wait and see with our blood test today.  I went in about 6:10 this morning.  At 7:30, the doctor himself called to tell me I'm pregnant!  HcG is 45.8.  I go back for a repeat blood test in two days time. As always, thank you for your love and support, your prayers and positivity!   We are elated, and doing our best to stay positive -- we have traveled this road before and are hoping and praying that the outcome of this pregnancy is different than the last two.
