risky business?

i received a phone call this morning from the clinic with my last hcg number. 1794 on friday. that means a doubling time of just over 24 hours, right? am i doing the math right on this one?


should i be thinking about 2 here?




the nurse also mentioned that since i had the kidney out i am considered at a higher risk for an ectopic. i don't think that's the case, i really really hope that's not the case! but they want me to get in to get an u/s within 2 weeks. so hopefully my insurance will cover that. i'd be okay with getting a higher risk label & getting monitored more closely. as long as the high risk part doesn't quite play in, i've had enough of rushing t emergency rooms for quite some time thank you very much.
monday i get to see if i can get in for an u/s sooner. but tonight i am going to go to movies with my best friends. and revel in being 5 weeks when i never expected to see that second line. especially not after just one treatment. tonight is about being thankful, blessed, & happy!

now with graphs

i finally got my numbers back in.
14dpiui- beta #1=96
16dpiui- beta #2=232

chart is:


then 18 dpiui- beta #3=602

chart:


i basically have doubling times of 60% in 24 hours, 159% in 48 hours according to the website. i can't do any math because fatigue is kicking in- but it's starting to feel real. holy crap!
now i may have to look into widgets this weekend! ;o)

is 7:15am too early to start drinking?

champagne that is???!!!! sorry- i couldn't resist!

without further delay- this is a positive, right?

the hub is skeptical because the second line is fainter, but i've never even seen an evap, so i am fucking pregnant!!!! oh.my.god. i can't believe this actually fucking worked. i am shaking. i am in shock. i can't really believe yet that i am going to be a momma, but i am elated to have this moment! there are two more tests in that box- i don't even know their threshold, but i will be taking one every morning now! i waivered all week between convinced it worked to sure it didn't. i mean- it was our ONLY treatment. we can't do another for a good long time & it fucking worked??!! i feel so blessed, so grateful, so amazed right now. i will be floating the rest of the day.

the hub has christened our little spec of cells- he actually said it the other day, but i didn't want to think about it until i tested. spring roll. the newest member of our family (hopefully here to stay!)

thank you so much for all your wonderful good wishes- if wishes really did make it true, then you had as much to do with this as me. although i have a sneaking suspicion it was the introduction of the hub's super sperm directly into uterus. ;o)

the hub is also convinced that my 'twisty, turny, corkscrew vagina pipe' was the reason we didn't get pregnant before. (yes- that is a direct quote, no he doesn't want you knowing he said that!) he may actually be right- or it may be a miracle like every single pregnancy is. either way- i am so thankful & happy.

in between shaking, crying, & grinning like a fool, i know i never would have made it through work yesterday! so i am sorry i didn't test last night, but glad i waited to really enjoy & wallow in this!
