Beta #1 is in!

I can officially announce it now - I'm pregant! Beta #1 is 451. Which I know is a huge and somewhat scary number for 11 dp3dt. I'm trying not to think about it. I go back Tuesday for a repeat beta, and then we schedule my ultrasound.

My first ultrasound. OMG. Just typing that brought tears to my eyes. I have had so many freaking ultrasounds of my ovaries, and this one, my GOD, this one will show my miracle(s). I can't even believe it. I'm still in shock, and disbelief. My casual attitude towards this IVF is turning into full fledged terror over this pregnancy. I am still worried that it is too good to be true.

As you can see from the picture, I got my first dark positive at 8dp3dt. I couldn't believe it. I have never seen a line that dark! I was totally prepared for a negative, and couldn't believe what I was seeing. I have continued peeing on sticks (more pictures to come, I'm sure) and it's still so unreal.

And then yesterday, the "symptoms" started. Dizziness, nausea, food aversion, all of those things that aren't supposed to show up until like 6 weeks? I started to believe a little bit more.

And now this. That is in no way a questionable beta. I am pregnant, and I am possibly pregnant with more than one, and I can't believe it. I can't wait for my first ultrasound!

I have two message boards that I frequent. Both of them had 3 BFP announcements this week, and I couldn't be more thrilled to be in such good company. I hope that everyone has a very healthy, normal pregnancy.

Congratulations! I left a comment a couple weeks ago. We have gone through the same journey. My IVF was cancelled last month. We were very upset but decided to do an IUI since we did all the shots and had 3 embies. Turns out it worked:) We found out we were pregnant on the 15th. I had my 2nd bloodwork Friday and have my first ultrasound Thursday:) Good luck to you!
