Great news! I went in for my blood work this morning. In order for the pregnancy to be considered normal, my HCG levels should double every 48 hours. My HCG one week ago was 102, which means today it should have been about 1224. Well… it came back at 2,710!!! HOLY COW!!!
So just wanted to let everyone know that it seems to be progressing very well at this point. We’ll have a sonogram done on July 2nd and will update as to the progress at that point.
Thank you so much for all of the well wishes! With this many people on our side, we feel so blessed!
Holy Moly! Holy Moly! Holy Moly! I can not believe this! I’M PREGNANT!!!
This is a complete and utter MIRACLE!!! We’ve battled with infertility for seven years. And now, we go on a cruise, and voila! Miracles happen. Unbelievable. We’re both very much in shock right now. Everyone said it would happen when we least expected it. We didn’t believe them until now. This is a total surprise! The very first month I went off the pill we got pregnant. Holy Moly!
So on a calmer note… we’re about 5 weeks along. Still very early. Normally you’re not supposed to say anything until 12 weeks, but we just couldn’t hold it in. We’re very cautiously optimistic at this point. I have a third blood test next Monday to make sure my pregnancy hormones are doubling every 48 hours. Then three weeks from now we’ll have an ultrasound to make sure there’s a heartbeat and everything’s progressing normally. If all goes well, the baby will be due February 10th! Wow.
So needless to say, I’m not trying to lose anymore weight. I’m now eating five meals a day instead of three. Dr. Wongsa didn’t want me to lose anymore anyway, so that’s OK. I’ll keep everyone posted as I get more news.
