Beta #2

Beta #2 = 1336

Soooooooooooooo happy. From my calculations from my first beta it should have been right around 1150 if it was doubling every 48 hours. So I am absolutely thrilled with that number!!! Now the count down begins to next weeks ultrasound. I cannot wait to see my little one's heart beat!!!

9 days until ultrasound.................

Will I Ever NOT worry???

So today is 4 weeks 5 days pregnant and I am a nervous wreck. I just keep wondering if this is really it? Will I really get my baby? I am so nervous and then I start feeling awful because I am stressing out and I worry that my stressing out is bad for the baby and we go round and round. I just keep thinking on Sunday I will be 5 weeks, on Monday I will get my second Beta, on October 8th I will see my baby's heartbeat. I love this little thing so much. Please wish us luck!

SO HAPPY

Beta #1 = 93

I am totally happy with that number. I am 4 weeks 1 day pregnant plus I ovulate a little late normally. So I am around 12 to 14dpo, which makes that number wonderful! My doctor was happy with it and said to just continue to do the normal protocol which is to come in next Monday for another blood test to make sure everything is still increasing and then my first ultrasound is scheduled for October 8th. How am I going to wait until October 8th???? I am so happy right now. I can't believe this is actually happening!!!

BETA #1 Today

I went and had my blood taken this morning for my first beta. I am so nervous. Please say a little prayer that everything is well with the little one. It's amazing how much I already love something the size of a poppy seed. I should get the results this afternoon.....aghhhhhh!!!

I'm PREGNANT

yeepp....no IUI for me. Well it is still really early and I haven't had it confirmed with a blood test.
Jeff and I got back from vacation today. It was not the best vacation as I was sick as a dog the entire time. I was so nausea we couldn't really do much. I got home today and took a pregnancy test. It popped up with a positive line within just like 30 seconds! I am so excited, although I am only 4 weeks today and I still have to get my hCG numbers this week from the doc. Please, please, please wish me luck! Thanks

Acting like I'm pregnant for 26 weeks now

Soooooo I was thinking the other day about all of my fun two week waits. I've had 13 of them now. I don't drink at all during my two week waits, I don't over due it with anything, don't lift anything heavy. I dream of baby names and don't tell anyone, but sometimes I even buy baby things (and yes I know this probably isn't very healthy). I have been doing this for 13 months. So in total I have been acting like a pregnant woman for 26 weeks just in case I am. Freaking ridiculous. Thats all.

All is well

My first acupuncture session went well yesterday. They just did needles on my front, none in the back. I'm not sure if that is normal or not. The doctor said I should go once a week and then hit it pretty hard the week of ovulation. So anyways I go back Friday and then I am going again on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. I don't know if it will help but I do know that it relaxes me and that is enough for me right now. The doctor told me to go to my happy place haha. I practiced deep breathing and pictured my self telling my husband that I was pregnant, and then telling my family and friends. I pictured rocking my newborn to sleep, pictured breastfeeding our baby. It was good.

I am on CD11 and should ovulate around 17-18. I am not doing ovulation predictor kits or temping this month. This is the first month I haven't done this in forever and I know it is going to be hard to stick to it. I just plan on having sex every other day (normally we do every day since we don't have any count problems) and trying to enjoy this process. I want to try to go back to the way it was the first couple months we were trying, when we were just filled with excitement and happiness that we were going to make a baby. This is our last month before we go to IUI and I am still hoping that it might work. This is only me second month of clomid so maybe it will do the trick this month. That's all for now!!!

Acupuncture - Take One

So I am getting ready to head out to my first acupuncture session. I am a little nervous but hopefully all will go well. I'm sure I will post how it went.

As for everything else, I am currently on CD 10 and I probably won't ovulate until CD 16-19 so all the fun timed high pressure sex is starting. Awesome!

We had a wonderful holiday weekend. My best friend and her husband and brand new baby came down from Arkansas and stayed with us. It's not as hard with her because although it didn't take her very long to get pregnant, she is by nature a pretty compassionate and understanding person. She gets it if you know what I mean. Anyways the baby is perfect and adorable and I loved every second of holding him. I can't imagine what it will feel like to hold my own child one day.
