beta TRIPLED!!!

it went from 35 to 105 :-)  we're not completely out of the woods yet of course, but i'm breathing a little easier this afternoon!  once we see the heartbeat (or two?) i'll feel much much better....for now i'll take it and just relax!!

BFP!!!

well, we got a Big Fat Positive this morning! When I got the call from my doctor's office I gasped...I don't know why but I just didn't think we would be so lucky! BUT (there's always a "but" isn't there?) my beta level was only 35 so we are guardedly, cautiously optimistic...at this point last time my beta was 50. But I am trying to not compare the two since they are so different in other ways already... i go back in on tuesday morning to see if my beta is rising like it should...here's to hoping that it does, and that in two or three weeks we see that little heartbeat and can breathe a little easier.... nothing ever comes easy in the land of infertility but if the outcome is positive, i'll take it!

FET

we have two "totsicles" left from our failed IVF cycle...i have been on meds for the past five weeks getting ready to do the frozen embryo transfer (FET) (most ironic of those meds is birth control pills - seriously?  HA!).  we set the date for thaw and transfer this morning...on october 15th, early in the morning, my RE will thaw those two little dudes out, cross fingers and toes, and hope they survive the thaw (80/20 chance)...that afternoon, if all goes well with the thaw, they will transfer them back to me. 

i'm thinking, based on timing, etc., that we will find out on october 24th or 25th if it worked...if not, then we'll wait a little bit (get through the holidays, etc.) and do another "fresh" cycle with retrieval "surgery", bedrest, all that good stuff that we did in august, in maybe january or february...but i'm hoping that in january or february...well, let's just say that i'm hoping that then i will be just starting to have to wear maternity clothes :-)

have to keep the spirits up :-)

oh, started my mba program...was doing really good in accounting and only got an 86% on my first test - boo!  and, even worse - economics is REALLY biting my a$$...killing me - in the mid-70s!  BOO!!!!  this is coming from the 3.76 gpa for undergrad (no, not perfect, but nothing to sneeze at either!)...i don't do 70s and 80s really well...aurgh...
