On Saturday, August 14th at 9:15 am Brian and I went to Dr. Burwinkel's office in the Kettering Medical Center. We had a brief discussion about what's going to happen, then we under went the proceedure. We chose to do IUI. So the dr did his thing and told us to hang out for the next 6 minutes. . .
We were so excited. So hopeful. I kept saying, "I'm pregnant until proven otherwise!!"
We went back on Friday August 20th for a blood draw to check my progesterone levels. They were low, so the dr called in a prescription that I began taking on Saturday the 21st.
The 2 week wait were the longest 2 weeks of my life! Finally the day arrived to go in for the bolld test to find out if it all worked. Now that was the most torturous day ever! We were at the dr by 9:30 for the blood draw. I had tested at home and it came up negative, so we were expecting bad news.
It seemd like it took forever for the nurse to call with my results. Finally about 3:45 in the afternoon, she called and said, "We've got a positive!!!" I could hear the "but" in her voice, and here it came. . . She said my numbers (beta 10.5 and progesterone 9) are very very low. I have to go back in on Monday, August 31 at 9:15 am for a new blood draw. They told me my numbers should double daily for a viable pregnancy, so we're looking for a beta of at least 82.
So I'm taking it easy this weekend, and praying that the baby holds in there tight! This JUST HAS to be it!! It's the perfect timing! Baby "J" would be due May 7, 2011. One day before Grandpa Purkey's birthday. Could there be a better sign?!?
