2nd Beta- 14dp5dt

Second beta came in today at 2370 mIU/ml

Went to our center yesterday and had another IViG infusion. It should take 30 mins or so but it always ends up dripping slower. Which is not bad, as the side effects seem to be connected to the speed of the drip. Thankfully I have not experienced any side effects other than feeling really drained afterwards, I mean really tired.

I will go in again for another dose of IViG on Wednesday or Thursday and Dr. K said our first ultrasound will be next week.

I told my mom and then my dad yesterday via Skype. They are SO SO SO happy and understand my cautious happiness. I asked them not to tell anyone until we are more certain. We have not yet told any of Super S's family and probably won't for a month or two.

Man, this may really be happening, for now at least, huh?

I am going to have so many questions for you guys in the upcoming weeks, pregnancy related of cousre, cause you know I have no idea, so hopefully you can help educate me.

Going now to start dinner preparations downstairs while I do my super freakin corny ass happy dance. I just can't believe this you guys...

  2. Pure joy! Can't tell you how happy I am for you both.
    I read all the 61+ comments when you broke it to your blog followers and my faith in humanity was once again restored.

    In this dog eat dog world we loose sight of people who REALLY matter. These people are your blog buddies, out there hoping and praying and rooting you on, and some hoping and praying and wishing for one too.

    You give them hope. It is just super great to read their respectfull riotous comments.

    Makes me feel so good. Oh,oh time to get back to reality.

    However, I will keep in my mind forever all the wonderful comments you received from all your wonderful friends out there.
    Here is to those who are wishing for one, pray to the GOD of your choice. Pray often, for you too will be delivering life's joy.

  28. Hooray! Rising beautifully!

    What do you think of multiples?!?

    Ask away! Of course, we can't help you much on what to buy since I'd bet that most things aren't available in Cairo.

    To answer the question you asked on my blog, some family members are such nightmares to deal with even in talking about happy things that IF is too much of a Pandora's box. Many people are also bad at keeping secrets, so it's easier to just tell no one. While we were TTC we definitely didn't want them in on our struggles trying to be "helpful" a.k.a. nosy, and now it's just easier for certain people never to know -- but we agreed that if we're asked directly, we'd tell the truth. No one in the family has asked yet.

  30. yay! thats awsome. I bet there's at least 2 in there. I got over 600 at 17dpo and had 2 implant and ended up with one viable bub:)
    Do they check your progesterone levels over there or just HCG?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Let yourself enjoy every minute of it, girl. You deserve it. Get lots of rest and take it easy. Can't wait to hear how many babies are on board!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Whoohoo! It's more than one, it's more than one, it's more than one! So with that high of a beta are you having any symptoms yet?

    Also, do you think the nurse/girl at the clinic (back when you were cycling) is psychic?
    Because she asked if you wanted twins!!!

    I AM CELEBRATING IN TEXAS FOR YOU!!!
