It's Official! Praise the Lord!

Yesterday was the big day (I just didn't have time to post)! We went for our beta at 11:30 and as soon as I was in the lab, my RE and the 3 IVF nurses were all crowded in waiting to see what the pee test result would be. They were so cute! And all VERY excited that the test was positive.

Unfortunately, the hospital courier had already been by to pick up the morning blood draws, so I didn't get my beta until after 9:00 last night! I was starting to get really anxious.

I mentioned before that I wanted to talk about support groups. Well, I'm a member of an infertility support group that is based out of the church I attend. I started going in February 2011 and those women have become such wonderful friends. Each meeting we cover praises and prayers (not just related to infertility), listen to one another, encourage one another, and discuss the latest chapter of our book. We are currently reading Hannah's Hope, which is excellent!

I was at group last night, waiting for the beta call. Finally by 9:00, I had to call someone, so I got in touch with the IVF coordinator and she was able to tell me the number. 

Are you ready for this???

1752!!! OMG! We might have twins!

She said that all other positive tests came in between 100 and 500, so we broke the record. She was just giggling with joy and so optimistic that this time will be it! Hubby was so relieved to hear this good news, but we are both feeling nervous.

I'm going back on Friday for another beta and for them to check my progesterone level. RE also added a baby aspirin with my prenatal vitamins. He said, "although you were negative for a clotting disorder, baby aspirin won't hurt." By Friday, the beta should be more than 4,000! (From what I understand, if it is multiples and one doesn't survive, the beta could go down and then back up as the singleton develops.) 

Twins is a bit of a scary prospect, but after losing two babies, I will be overjoyed if God blesses us with two babies! 

We received our frozen embryos photo as well. It's below. He said the one on the left has not hatched, but is on the verge, and the one on the right has hatched and is excellent. The mass at the bottom is what will become a baby. I know we are so blessed to have these frozen embryos and I hope we can use them a few years from now. Right now we just want the baby (or babies) in my womb to grow!
