OMG it worked, we are pregnant!!!!!!

 

The secret is out, we are Pregnant!!!! I know there is a rule to not tell anyone to soon, but we have a different situation. Our situation is called, " the blog". Since we blogged our whole IVF process and trip to the Czech, it is very hard to not tell anyone our testing results. We knew the risk getting into the blogging world ,but we have enjoyed every minute of it. I was not due to test till Monday morning but as most women, I was very anxious. Also, Nathan is leaving for the summer to work at Navy Pier in Chicago. He is a boat captain. Needless to say, we need the money after all these rounds of IVF and for our upcoming new life with a baby. I tested 4 days early which is 10 days past transfer. When I woke up at 6 am this morning, I peed on a pregnancy stick. The test line showed up before the control line , I knew then our lives were going to change forever. I immediately woke Nathan up and showed him the stick, he was so excited he screamed like a man. I was still guarded, I wanted more proof. We headed to the doctors office and we were there by 8 Am for blood work. I asked to have the results STAT. We needed the results today because Nathan is leaving tomorrow morning for Chicago. By noon we had the results of the blood work, IT WAS POSITIVE!!!!!!! My HCG level was 209!!! A normal HCG level is 50-426. We are right in the middle. Our doctor wanted to schedule an ultrasound already. I have an appointment at 8am on June 6th, on my dads birthday!!! During this ultrasound we will find out if both embryos implanted or just one. As you all know I am wishing and hoping for twins, but we really just want a healthy baby. I am not having many symptoms yet. I notice I am peeing a lot more but that is about it. No nausea yet, maybe I will be lucky and have none. I am currently 4 weeks and 1 day. Yes, this is very early so we must still keep in mind I am at risk for a miscarriage. I do have faith that God is good and will keep me pregnant.
