Betas are Coming in!

It's been a whole week since I got my BFP and I'm still pregnant! Such a relief! On Monday I got my first beta number back from my Friday b/w. I was at 82.8, was is a good start. Since I'm officially pg by medical standards now, my doctor put me on progesterone suppositories, Endometrine 100mg 2x a day. Just being on it makes my mind more at ease. I'm not worrying so much now if my LO has enough of what it needs to grow on or not. On Tuesday I got my second beta number back from my Monday b/w which was 383. Yay for quadrupling numbers! I went in again today and then Monday (11/7) for more checks. Hopefully we'll still see the doubling numbers we need. My OB nurse (not my IF nurse anymore! Same lady, though) said that as long as I get a good number on Monday she'll have be come in for an early u/s next week. So exciting! I need some major FX'ing!

I'm still extremely nervous about this pregnancy. Sometimes it feels like I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I hate this feeling. I'm trying my best to stay hopeful and trust in God, but I'm so scared. I had a tiny bit of pink spotting last night a freaked the eff out. It happened right before bed and it was all I could do to fall a sleep. Today, it's just been a bit of brown, so that's been a huge relief. I think what happened was I got a little to firm with the progesterone applicator. I will definitely be more careful from now on! Please that be the last scare I have with this pg!

My symptoms have started to increase, which only makes me feel better. My (.)(.) are much more sore today than they have been, I have a bit of light cramping now and then, and I could really go for a nap. Bring on the morning sickness!

"I want it all!"

I'm anxiously awaiting my third beta check which I'll probably get back tomorrow. Please double, LO! Mommy loves you!!

Lots of Love,
KJsbabe



P.S. On a side note, I unfortunately was in the musical Baby in college. It was such a horrendous production I seem to have successfully blocked out of my mind. I only remembered how funny and ridiculous the songs were and didn't seem to remember how annoying and ear splitting the "Broadway" (I use that term very loosely) soundtrack was. I've removed the song "I Want it All" from the playlist because I figure if I can't stand it, you probably can't either! Instead, enjoy the lyrics:

I want it all
I want it all
I want the whole female experience in a ball
I want it all
I want the morning sickness and the elations
I want every known female sensation
I want to be Scarlett O’Hara, Joan of Arc, Lauren Bacall
I want it all!
