Beta Results

richmond_girl · #1 February 27th, 2009, 12:29 PM

As most of you know, we were diagnosed with severe MFI in October 2008. Last month we began our first IVF cycle. Today, my beta test confirmed that� I am pregnant

We had the benefit of incredible doctors and medical technology to bring us our blessing, but I truly believe it was our prayers and faith that led to our miracle. Many of you know our detailed story and what we have endured since learning of our issues. The odds were always against us; statistics told us our chances of having a biological child were slim to none. But, for once, we beat the odds. And we beat the odds when it mattered the most. For those of you out there who are ready to throw in the towel, who are starting to give up hope (and I know that there are many of you) � don�t. I am living proof that miracles can and do happen.

IVF is an incredibly draining experience, physically and emotionally. My mind is exhausted from all the stress. My body looks and feels like a pin cushion. I am bloated, tired, constipated, bruised� yet my heart is so incredibly full and I�ve never felt more alive. Thank you to everyone who prayed for me, for DH, and for this amazing life growing inside of me on this journey. Those prayers have made all the difference.

Oh, and my beta today was 199

LOL Heather - you and me both!! I can't get to FB at work which is why I posted here first. Actually I didn't think I could get on JM either but I think I snuck through a firewall somehow

Brandi, I know - the secret is out!!

I still can't believe it. I have my first u/s on 3/20 to check for the heartbeat and to see if it's one or two in there

You think?? It's still in range for a singleton (5-426). Although I've never heard of someone with a 426 beta at 14dpo!!
