Results Day!

So it is December 30^th…the day of results.

I wish I could say I had glowing and positive thoughts to share but I don’t.

My doctor just called and although the pregnancy blood test came back positive she is ‘VERY’ concerned about the very low levels of pregnancy hormones in my sample. According to her this could mean 383 different things and she has ‘seen it go both ways’.

It could mean that my body recognized the embryos as ‘implanted’ but only one made it or neither made it. It could mean my body is just taking extra time producing the natural ‘pregnancy hormone’….

I will retest again on Friday, which seems like a year away and if my levels have risen than that is a good sign and I get to stay on my meds and schedule an ultrasound for 2 weeks from Friday. If the levels are the same or lower, I will be directed to discontinue the meds and we will start a new IVF cycle as soon as I have a period.

I wish I could say that I was not tearing up as I type this week’s post but I totally am. The first round including meds was so expensive even though insurance picked up 80%...(not including meds)  we may have to wait on the second round until we save up more $$$. Which is really gonna kill me; I hate waiting. But…I know that this is God’s will and I must accept it.  

I am not sure how Chris took the news; I was trying to explain to him over the phone while in a crowded restaurant and he just snapped at me telling me to speak up and into the GD phone.

So that is awesome; imagine sitting in a crowded restaurant trying to hold it together while sharing the not so great news with the one that is supposed to love you the most in this world and they just scream back at you. As if my hormones weren’t keeping me on edge enough.

I will cut him some slack; I know this is hard for us both.

Well folks, I hope my next update will be more upbeat…please continue to pray that God’s will is done.

Thank you, Amanda & Chris and hopefully still two embryos.
