Our Miracle

Yesterday was so stressful. The hospital's machines broke so my RE never got my latest beta results. I called my RE early this morning and finally got my results. It went up to 176 from 70. I just can't believe it. The nurse said it was a great rise and that I don't need to do anymore betas. I'm a little nervous about that, but I trust that they know what they're doing. I had more cramping yesterday evening and had some brown discharge which really scared me. I called the on-call nurse and she said it could be good or bad, evidently it might be from late implantation. I'm supposed to just watch everything closely. I have my first ultrasound scheduled for October 25 7am. It's going to be a long two weeks.

Thank you all for being such amazing IF sisters to me. I apologize for not commenting lately on your blogs, it's been kind of a stressful week to say the least. Thank you again for all your comments and prayers, I wouldn't be here without all of you. Lots of love!

  2. Woooohooo! Sounds like exactly what happened to me. This is wonderful news. I know how stressful waiting for the first ultrasound is-- trust me, I remember! But try to relax and take it easy as much as possible. I had brown discharge too (and bleeding at first!) and, as you know, everything turned out fine. I have an almost 1 year old to show for it. ;) SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

  6. Yeah for such a great rise in your beta!! I had similar betas and after two my dr did not think another one was necessary either -- when I got nervous between them and my u/s (as it was a 3 week wait), I called and ask for another beta for reassurance. I would call for another one if that will help you....

  8. I literally want to do cartwheels for you Melissa! I am so freaking excited about this! They didn't do a beta for me after it doubled either and I know how stressful the first few weeks are. As long as the discharge was brown I think you are completely fine. It's totally normal and so is the cramping. I had cramping for the entire first trimester and it was always freaking me out. I am so so so excited for you!!!! Can't wait for the 25th when you get to see your miracle(s) for the first time!
