Finally, after almost two year, we got a positive test result April 22. We were looking for a beta level between 300-500 so imagine my surprise when it came back at 2100! It was the best phone call I have ever received, with the intended mom, crying and laughing on the other end! After so many transfers and so much disappointment, I imagine she had prepared herself for the worst. What a truly amazing moment.
The next blood test on the 29th was a little scarier. I had a little bleeding and was literly laying on the floor waiting of the phone call with dread. I didn't want to have to tell Shell, the intended mother, that something had gone wrong. I was so worried I thought I was making myself sick! When the phone call came, I was so relieved to hear that things looked fine, infact, things looked really good. I asked what the beta level went up too and the nurse only laughed and said, "You sure you want to know?" And I asked, "Why, higher level, greater chance there is more than one?" Yes, that is how it seems. My beta level was at 5600!!
They scheduled an ultrasound for this Thursday. I can't wait to see what's growing in there! Or should I say, how many are growing in there since it's obvious "what" is growing, I guess I don't need that information!! :)
So, I guess I have a couple day wait. I will write about it Thursday or Friday!
