Yes, this post is about what you think it's about. I'm pregnant! We found out on Tuesday and so far things look really, really good. I went to my doctor's office on Monday to get my progesterone checked, and my doctor snuck in a pregnancy test without telling me. By the time she called me on Tuesday to tell me that my progesterone was high (yay!) and that my beta test was positive (YAY!), I had already gotten a positive home pregnancy test that morning. So it was an exciting week! I went back for a repeat blood test Wednesday morning, and my beta had gone from 10 on Monday to 62 on Wednesday. They look for a doubling time of 24-48 hours, and my doubling time was just 17.1, which is a very good sign. My progesterone was also up even higher. Both doctors are very optimistic and we're feeling great about it so far. I am convinced that the acupuncture is a huge key for me! I am also still doing the daily Lovenox injections and had my second intralipid infusion on Thursday.
Just so you have photographic evidence, here is a great looking test from today:
A very clear positive! So, if all goes well, we should welcome our little bundle in July of 2013. I'll see Dr. Braverman for a six-week check-up appointment on Monday 11/26, and then for a ten-week check right around Christmas. All prayers, good thoughts, crossed body parts, etc. are welcome, and we'll keep you posted!
