No more IVF

A Natural BFP for us!!!!!!














Here is the story...

On Monday Oct 27, I had talked to the RE's nurse about our upcoming IVF. (We decided to go ahead and do the IVF in Dec anyway). We talked about how many days I would need to take off, when the egg retrieval and transfer might be, and when I would need to go in for appointments. I told her that I was expecting my period any day now and she told me that as soon as I started to give her a call to start the birth control. Well, after getting the tentative schedule I realized that I would be having my pregnancy test right after Christmas. I have always tested early with a home pregnancy test and ended up with heart ache. So, I decided that for this IVF I was NOT going to test early and wait until my blood test. I knew I had one digital hpt left from our failed cycle in August. I didn't want it at home taunting me, so I was going to get rid of it. So, Tuesday morning I found it and was just going to throw it away. Being the nerd I am, I could just throw it away without using it. I figured my period was due any day, so I'd go ahead and use it. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw the word "Pregnant"! I couldn't believe my eyes!!! Did it really say pregnant? Was I imagining it? I woke up Benjamin (he didn't even know I was testing) and nearly scared him half to death. I told him I was pregnant, and his first response, "No you're not." I responded, "Yes I am, look!" and showed him the test. He could only get out, "Woa!" I called the RE and they had me go in for a beta. My result was positive, but the level was really low: 9.83. So, I must have been about only 10DPO or so, but I can't be for sure since I wasn't keeping track. I go in for another beta on Friday and am hoping my levels rise. I have continues taking HPTs and all have been + still, so I am hoping for the best. I am going to enjoy this miracle for as long as I can and am trying really hard not to worry.

YEA!!! I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
