OK, so I haven't been able to post much lately--holiday craziness has set in full-force and I PROMISE I'll be better next week!
I was also not posting quite as much because I didn't want to get my hopes up. Sorry. My chart looked good--WAY good for me, and, well, I've not had just the best luck around me lately, so I was just going to assume chem preg. I also just "knew". I've never tested unless I was late or KNEW. So, on Thursday, at 12 DPO, in the middle of the afternoon, not holding my pee, pretty diluted, I got this in under a minute:
Shocked, but still not hoping for much. I called the doc yesterday (I switched to the one who handled the last m/c because her nurse is AMAZING and she's a high risk OB.) and still didn't expect anything since I wasn't officially late. I just wanted her to have a record of it. The nurse told me to come in for a beta, I asked for a progesterone test, too, and she enthusiastically ordered it for me. She was so sweet, put a rush on it, and called me back pretty quickly. She said that my number was good for 5 weeks, but a little low. I told her that I wasn't even 4 weeks yet and she brightened immediately--"Then your number is GREAT!" At 13 DPO, it was 167...and she said that my progesterone was "dancin' in the streets good" at 24.7. She acknowledged that nothing is a guarantee, but that this is a great start and I really should try to get excited. At 13 DPO last time, my beta was 35. I go back Monday, but won't hear until Tuesday.
Last night, I was trying to figure out a way to tell DH, maybe wait until today or tomorrow to do something cutesy, but he got home, we were quickly getting ready for last-minute dinner with my sister and her BF, but he wanted to look something up. I came in to sit with him to write down the info and I heard, "Is this...?" I'd left that picture on the desktop!!! He NEVER opens anything, but he couldn't remember what was his saved info. He cried, danced around, cried some more, kept repeating, "I'm so happy, I'm so happy..." when I told him that my numbers were actually GOOD right now. Still, we're cautiously optimistic. We don't have a good baby-carrying history, so everyone keep everything crossed...I'm paranoid with every cramp (discomfort, not pain) and waxing and waning of symptoms...argh.
So, sorry I wasn't on more and sorry I didn't share earlier. I'm sure you all understand. Thank you...you know I wouldn't be sane enough to even type this if not for you ladies!
