IVF will hopefully bring us the miracle we are waiting for.

Finally got the results

I knew the waiting would not be easy. I've done my best to think positive but last night all hope vanished when I went to the bathroom and there it was bright red....BLOOD. For those of you that have shared my journey with me you know that I start to spot and bleed a few days before my beta. This was not what I wanted to see. Maybe this was a sign of what awaited me.

This morning I did a HPT and I got a + but it was sort of faint. At 10dp5dt I wasn't expecting a faint +. I saw the two lines and I didn't get happy. All I thought about was my first cycle. I got a + and then it all came tumbling down. Was this what was going to happen again? I didn't tell Ivan about the + because I didn't want to worry him. He had also asked me not to test. He is crazy if he thought I was not going to test.

For the first time I was happy that the clinic didn't give the results of the 1st beta. I'm glad I will get both results at the same time. If it didn't double then I know there is a problem and don't have to wait another 2 days hoping it will improve.

When they finally called my heart was racing. I did my best to sound calm when all I wanted to do was scream from the nervousness.

I didn't know how to tell Ivan so I let Misty, my darling cat, give him the news.



YES, it worked...OMG, it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8dp5dt beta was 156.6
10dp5dt beta was 414.7
