Beta Results
10DP5DT HCG Beta level= 582
I'm just beyond words w/ happiness that I've made it to this point.
I caved and did not one but 3 different HPT's... one at 9pm last night, one at 3AM this morning and again at 7AM. They all had a very bright positive.
For the first HPT I went into the bathroom...and peed for 5 seconds on the stick and sat there with my eyes shut (wanting to wait 3 mins before looking) ...meanwhile J walks in right after and started looking at it and says "Holy Shit", so I look and think I see a 2nd line and I start crying so I couldn't see well so I kept asking him, "is that a 2nd line"..."is that a 2nd line"...."is that a 2nd line"..... b/c its all blurry from the tears running down my face... then I see it is indeed very positive and proceed to cry hysterically for 5 mins in J's arms while he's bewildered b/c he doesn't understand why I'm crying and seem upset. Of course you all understand why I would be like that (shock, joy, excitement, more shock). I really expected it to be negative. I wasn't holding much hope at all.
After the 1st test I was way too excited to sleep and ended up watching TV and reading all night long... maybe got an hour or two of sleep at most. So I tested again at 3am and again at 7am. We went in for the beta blood draw at 8am and got the results at 1pm. I have my 2nd beta on Monday.
I know this is just a first step and many things could still go wrong but at this point, I don't care... I'm happy, hopeful and grateful and focusing on that.
Thank you so much for holding my hope and supporting me on this very difficult journey so far.

I am happy and hopeful along with you!!
YES,YES,YES! I just knew it would work, it sounded like you had a great doctor! And as I said before it sounds like we have very similar issues and I will be using your blog as a reference if I ever decide to try IVF again.

Yipee! I am happy for you! The new RE seems to be what you needed! Yes, 9 months or so to go- but cool that you got a positive! I wish you an pleasant and uneventful rest of year-- we have all had plenty of drama so wouldn't be awesome to have a mellow pregnancy!
