Beta #1 from IVF #1

Everyone says the 2 WW is the hardest, and believe me, it was! The first week wasn't so bad since I was home on 'couch rest.'  It was harder once I returned to work.  I couldn't stop thinking about those two little embry babies and wondering if they were hatching and attaching. 

So, on Friday I broke down and took a pregnancy test.  I figured it had been long enough right? 

Friday, Oct. 2nd, 10dp3dt (10 days pass 3 day transfer) = BFN (BIG FAT NEGATIVE).  What a bummer that was.

Okay, so I should have listen to Steve when he said it was too early and that I would just be sad if it came back negative.  He was so right!

Then I figured I would wait two days and test again.  It just HAD to happen at this point!

Sunday, Oct 4th,  (12dp3dt) = BFN.  Double bummer.  By this point, I was feeling VERY discouraged! I was sulking in my own pity party, convinced that this first cycle was a total bust! 

Tuesday rolled around and I was convinced that it was going to be another negative so why waste the pregnancy test (those things can get expensive!)  But I needed to know before I went in for the actual beta test so I could prepare myself for the bad news. 

I was tired of seeing the negative results so I peed in a cup and told Steve to take the test for me.  Three minutes later, he showed me the stick and there were two lines!!!  Wow, I couldn't believe it!

Tuesday (14dp3dt) = BFP (BIG FAT POSITIVE!!!!)

Look closely, you can see two lines. 

This morning, before we went in for our beta test, I wanted to take one more home pregnancy test. JUST to make sure I wasn't being punk'd, (15dp3dt).  Wow, it was still a BFP!! There's something about actually seeing the word 'Pregnant' that makes it real!

We went in this morning for our first beta test. I wanted to wait for the nurse to call before I posted anything. She literally just called.  Beta test was positive, HOWEVER, it was VERY low....24! She told me to continue to be optimistic.  I am so nervous and scared now.  Wow, I've never heard of such a low number.  I go back on Friday for another beta.  PLEASE, PLEASE pray for us!
