Friday's Surprise

I had noticed my Aunt was late. My DH had kept telling me to just test. So, I did. The positive instantly showed up. I yelled to my DH to come and look. I looked at the packaging to make sure the test hadn't expired. It hadn't. We were, and continue to be, in complete shock.

We called our RE immediately. Of course she wasn't in, but after we paged her she called us back shortly after. She chuckled because the office had just been on our adoption agency's website that day looking at our profile (it's stil up there). We reviewed a little bit of our history and decided that bloodwork was in order. That night, we went to K.roger to get another test. The next morning I tested again to make sure it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. It was just as positive. We have never had lines so dark.

We had to rush around to get the bloodwork, but I will save you from having to read that long story. But, around 11am we finally got it drawn. That afternoon, we got a call from our RE. My HCG was 4700 and my P4 was 7.4. The HCG was good, but the P4 made me nervous. Our RE didn't seemed too concerned. She just stated that she would normally like it about 10 in a treatment cycle. So, I am now on progesterone. We picked that up at K.roger Saturday evening.

The last few days have been bonkers. Monday, after school, I had more bloodwork. It was ordered STAT, but since I was there so late we just received the results this afternoon. My HCG went up to 8955 and my P4 went up to 14. Both are going in the right direction. Our RE, again, wasn't too concerned that my HCG didn't quite double since it was already so high. What do you think? I hope that the P4 level also continues to rise. I am guessing I am in the middle of the 5th week of pregnancy (I am really unsure due to wacky cycles).

I will be honest. I haven't been taking my S.yntroid or G.lucophage like I should. I am now. My RE also put me back on Baby A.spirin and a new prenatal with tons of folic acid. We are holding off on the H.eparin. I am scared. I am nervous. I don't know what to think.

Could this be real? Could this happen? Is this going to work out?

As of now, we have an ultrasound scheduled from 11:15am on Monday. Thoughts and prayers please.

UPDATE: U/S moved to 10:15am Saturday.
