Results are in...

I appreciate everyone who is still interested in hearing about my results from the blood test today. I think you all deserve to know. My beta number was 196 at 17DPO. Anything over 10 means pregnancy. Yes, I'm pregnant...and yes, I'm completely FREAKED OUT that it isn't going to last. PLEASE, please don't say anything about this on my Facebook wall. I have a bloody long way to go before things will be OK (when the kid is in my arms I think) but for now, I'm trying to be happy that IVF worked so far. I was supposed to go in for a u/s in exactly one week (Thank you Jesus that I'll be monitored!!!) but can't because we'll be out of town for Christmas. I'll be getting one on Dec. 28th to check that things are growing in the right place (in my uterus and not in my tube) and see how big the gestational sac is. Once we see a heartbeat, I might calm down a little. MIGHT.

You all have been such blessings to me during this journey. Again, I have a VERY long way to go so I'd appreciate no comments on FB...email is OK though.

Shoot, I can't post the pic of one of my many pregnancy tests that I took this week. It's on the other computer...BOOO!
