Holy poop

Just got news from the clinic....I'm no longer PUPO (Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise)- 


I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right.....after almost three years I can finally say that I'M PREGNANT!!!!!

Holy poop. Holy poop.  Holy poop.

Still in so much shock and shaking.  There are still a ton of hurdles, but today I am on cloud nine.  :-)

As far as my beta test went, any hCG level over 25 is considered pregnant.  My clinic likes to see anything over 100....as always I like to be an overachiever so my beta was 233.  I'm back into the clinic on Thursday to make sure that my hCG level is doubling.  I have a long road ahead, but for today, I can breathe a BIG sigh of relief- I now have proof that CP's sperm and my eggs can have a fertilization party and implant in my uterus!!

No wine and sushi for me tonight!!  (happy dance)

I am also going to use your story when people I know having ivf are upset with only a few eggs fertilizing. You are a perfect example that it truly only takes one!

Stacey said...

Yay! I have my blogs organized by groups on Feeddler and I got to move you from my "IVF" folder to "Pregnant!" Love it! Congrats!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Omg! This just made my day! I am so, so, so very happy for you. A BFP is so much more satisfying than wine and sushi, for sure. Have you told CP yet?! What was his reaction? YAY YAY YAY!!! Now let's hope that beta doubles. :)

I have been MIA from the blogging world for a while (read: almost a year) but I often thought about you and wondered how you were doing. I came back to my blog today to decide if I'm going to resurrect it or start from scratch and wound up here and AHHHHHHHHHHH I am so happy for you!!!!!!! I am book marking your blog so I can follow more consistently with updates. Seriously, so very happy for you! Btw, glad you're so happy in Chicago! I am visiting next month and I am so excited! Your house updates look awesome, I give you so much credit for tackling so many projects. Seems like a lot of work but I am sure it will be so worth it in the end, plus you get to make the house completely yours. Enough rambling, congratulations to you and CP again and 100 times over!!!!
