FET#1.5 - Beta 1


The path has been chosen.

It is the path so full of joy that I'm in tears as I type.

I am in complete shock!!!!!! 

I am PREGNANT!!!!!!

Beta 193 (>50)

Progesterone 12.75 (>6)



So I was supposed to receive a fax but instead I received a call from my local nurse. This is how is played out:

Me: Hello?

Nurse: May I ask who I'm speaking to?

Me: This is Jill

Nurse: Mom?

Me: No, this is Jill

Nurse:  Who?  Mom?

Me: No, this is Jill

Nurse: Mom?

Me: OMG OMG OMG, are you serious?????

Nurse: Yes, you are pregnant!

Me: OMG OMG, how pregnant?

Nurse: 193

Me: OMG, tell me again!

Nurse: You are pregnant!

... long chit chat ...

Me: Please tell me one more time!

Nurse: You are pregnant!

Me:  OMG, I am sooooo happy!!!!!




God I've waited a long time to be able to do this! Those discolored areas on my belly are estrogen patches.

I hope this gives hope to those with failure after failure, never give up! I hope this gives hope to those with no symptoms and bleeding before beta, it does not mean you are out!

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your support! This is all surreal!

Love,
Jill

  51. Congradulation to you both.. I am sooo happy for you. I have been reading your blog and have quietly read without making any comments because I too am going thru my first IVF and am in my 2 ww stage. Waiting for mother nature to do her magic with my little embies. Your journey is one that truly inspires me and make me feel that I'm not so looney in asking a million question surfing the web at 1 am to make sure I'm doing everything right.. Lucky Seven is a Lucky baby to have a wonderful mom like you.. Hugs

  52. I have read your blog for awhile, but never posted anything. I am so happy for you, and wish you and your husband all the best in what is to come!

    ReplyDelete
  53. That picture is just fantastic Jill - your face is the epitome of happiness! I'm so happy for you, especially after everything you've been through. It gives me hope, although I continue to be very nervous about my own transfer. I'm not quite sure my little 4CB has the power of your Lucky 7...but who knows?
    Enjoy every moment and take care of Seven!

  54. A whole day to absorb the news and I'm still in utter disbelief. There is no possible way to explain how excited gpa and I are for you and Kerry. Your phone call has to be one of the most thrilling moments of my life...true joy and nothing more....just a sheer miracle and the answer to millions of prayers. We love you so so much and baby Morris, we are counting the months, weeks, days and minutes until your arrival!!! Jill, thank you for making me feel like a 'real gma' and inviting me to be an active part of the main event!!!! XXX OOO

  59. I stumbled on your blog today and then went backwards to read it - I cried when I read this post.

    Isn't it great to have a blog that makes people feel just a little bit of what you are going through - and to share that happiness/sadness/moment.

    Congratulations and more congratulations on your little guy - I did have the benefit of reading the last post first, so I knew what was coming - which made this post an even more beautiful read!!!
