Beta = Pregnant

My first beta results are in. My results are 657 which the nurse says is excellent. As I have no idea what it's supposed to be (or not be) I am taking her word for it. I have to go in tomorrow for the second beta where they want to see that number go up.

So I'm pregnant! Wow,,,,, wow,,,, wow.!

Of course I'm still nervous and not wanting to fully believe it at this point. I know we have beta number two and then there's the first ultrasound where we look for a heartbeat. But I'm happy today. I'm going to try and take things in small steps and be happy as much as I can.

The hubby is much more scared and nervous than I am. But he was like that with our first pregnancy and that's before we knew that things could go horribly wrong at any time. So I'm expecting him to be a nervous wreck the entire time.

I'm so much more scared to share the news this time around. We told my parents of course because we are visiting them at the moment. My sister knows too because she called me yesterday to find out the results. But I kind of want to wait until beta #2 before sharing with my close friends who knew I was doing the FET.

I suppose that's one nice thing about being in the US visiting family. I'm far away from my London friends so I've got a bit more time to digest the news before sharing. I don't plan to make any kind of huge announcement right now,,, but the friends who have been there for me through the failed IVF and now this FET will be wanting to know how it went.

Wow, I'm pregnant again. I'm sure once the shock wears off I'll have lots of mixed feelings about the whole thing and lots of juicy material for blogging. But for now I'm just feeling happy, and that's a nice feeling.

*Oh, and I've updated my trying again timeline for anyone following along.

  2. Wonderful news to wake up to!

    Continue enjoying each bit of positive, happy news. When I was pregnant with Bennett I was a mess a lot of the time, but I tried to take things slowly, not think too far ahead, be happy with every good thing that happened.

    So, so, so happy for you!
