Today’s beta came back at 448.6 which is more than doubling. However, the Progesterone came back at 40.
I will get to supplement with some Prometrium, that wonderful lovely suppository, but I’ll do it! I will take 200mg three times a day, this is what I was taking during my experimental drug therapies that left me almost comatose. Since my body will be needing it, lets hope that I won’t be comatose. I took that much when I was pregnant with J and I was able to function so let’s see how it leaves us.
Today, I figured out that if I had a Grande Chai Lattée, non-fat, extra hot around 9am, the nausea really doesn’t hit until 1pm!
Off I go to my favorite coffee shop, let’s see if it works for the afternoon as well 😉
As I am getting ready to go for beta number three to see if the nubers are indeed doubling or on track, I am sick with worry. I am not sure which is worse the instant nausea I have had since Friday morning or the nervous quiver in the bottom of my stomach.
Poor J doesn’t know what hit his Mama. I went from walking and working out everyday to falling asleep while reading him a story, and it was midafternoon! I am taking that as a good sign that all things are still go as the tiredness comes from the progesterone and the nausea comes from the hcg. I will just have to figure out how to keep going in the afternoons when I now feel like a pile of dirt. Somehow I don’t remember this for J but, I was at work and able to snack all day long and didn’t have a toddler to entertain after work. I’ll take it though!! And J will have to cope. He still asks me for a sister almost once a week, so if all things work out he will get a younger sibling, perhaps he will be the cool cousin and have an older and younger brother.
Will post the numbers as soon as I hear.
Hooray!
I am not sure who was more excited me or my RE’s Admin?
So they truly thought that the sticks I had were faulty and that I had had a chemical pregnancy. But, with the numbers higher this morning, they believe that I am indeed pregnant.
The numbers are as follows:
Thursday – beta 0.1 progesterone 30
Monday – beta 175.1 progesterone 54.5
I will go back on Wednesday morning and Friday morning to see if the numbers are doubling and to ensure that the progesterone is still high and not dropping. Not out of the woods yet, but definately more positive than I was this morning, or yesterday or Friday for that matter.
The beta isn’t as high as I would have liked, but since they figured Thursday was just way too early to test then, it is still very early.
Hooray for me! Keep the prayers coming ladies, I still need them.
And Kailani, I can cross my toes too, not so weird eh. I can also play the piano and pick lots of stuff up with them 😉
