About Us

My photo
After an 8 year battle with infertility and countless struggles, our family is finally complete. This blog chronicles the journey it took for us to start and build the family we always wanted. Background on the blog (started in 2012, just days before I found out the embryo transfer for our son worked).... I decided to start a blog after realizing I have only been able to make it through my TWW's (two week waits) with the help of Google and with the openness of other women suffering from infertility sharing their own stories and giving others hope. I have time and time again found my exact symptoms on other women's blogs and felt an overwhelming sense of calmness they provided me. I thought it was time to pay it forward and hopefully provide this same thing to other women on their own journeys.

Beta #1 - 9dp6dt / 14dpo

So, I may or may not have had my beta drawn yesterday.  And I may or may not know the result!

So yesterday, I had to have TSH drawn, so while I was in the labcorp waiting room, I went to walkinlab.com and ordered a HCG quantitative blood test requisition.  It was only $37!

I just got the results.......
155!!

I am FLOORED to say the least.  Those lines on the FRERS are anything but 155 worthy!  lol

I am considering it 14dpo at the time of the draw.  Even though it was a 6 day transfer (6dt), the blastocysts were at a 5 day stage when transferred.

Here's my dot on the famous graphing tool:

    Your* number looks really high btw! One would be a huge blessing... but it looks like you have 2 in tote! & you're blessed because by what I read on your pregnancy with Victor, it was smooth sailing with minimum nausea. I had awful nausea with mine. & apparently symptoms are magnified with multiple babes.

      2 would be such a blessing - but 1 would be such a blessing too! We are happy with any number so long as we have a baby in our arms and a sibling for Victor! I have hardly any symptoms these days it seems so I really think it's one. :)

      Yeah definitely expanded. But they both look like a hot mess to tell grading! I bet my clinic grades, they just don't release the data. I pray for your perfect 5AA to complete your family!!!!!!
