BETA #1, 11dp5dt

I just got my phone call from the clinic with our BETA results.

Me (heart pounding):  Hello

Nurse J:  Hi Sweetie, we got your results.

Me:  And?

Nurse J:  Well, you are definitely pregnant!

Me:  Yeah?  Awesome!  What were my numbers?

Nurse J: It is a good number.  431.

Me:  Wow!  Really?  That high?  I was hoping for 100.

Nurse J:   Well, we did test late, didnt we?  Hmm.  No, only 1 day.  That is a good number.  Tell Derek we said Congratulations!!!

So, it is now official.  We are pregnant!  Our Estimated Due Date is July 16, 2011.

I go back Wednesday for Beta #2.  I am in absolute shock.

I wonder if you're baking more than one?!! That is a very high number. Excellent news. Thanks for making my day. :)

Yay!! That's awesome! Great number...and I am also a July baby, so great month. =) I was reading your posts about not being able to sleep and waking up to pee, etc. Despite the fact you were moving, I suspected you were pregnant due to the same symptoms as me early on. =)

I know I talked to you, but I just can't help but say again how over the moon I am for you and Derek. Your SOME DAY SOME WAY is here my dear!!! And like I told you, my beta for my TWIN pregnancy was 1 beta number LESS than yours one day LATER. Do you know when your u/s will be??? I am betting you will see two little heartbeats when that day arrives... :)

Haidee said...

Stopping by from LFCA - Wow, 431 is a FANTASTIC first beta! WOOHOO! CONGRATULATIONS to you and your husband on your long awaited BFP! I am due 4th July after 3 years and 3 IVF cycles and I will be following your journey from here on in :-) How many embryo's were replaced?

aimeemax said...

Congrats, congrats, congrats! So excited for you!

Katie said...

That's an AWESOME number! I am just joining your story, so don't know how many embryos you transferred, but I am guessing more than one stuck!

And I just delivered my little girl this past July. . . the last few weeks in the heat were dicey, but it was nice not having to worry about keeping hats and jackets on a newborn and we were able to take her outside on plenty of walks. So it's a very nice time to have a baby.
Congratulations!
