Our Little Peanut

Meet our little peanut! This little peanut has caused so much drama in its first 8 weeks of life that everyone is convinced that it is a girl! LOL.

Went to our RE today and everything looked great. Due date is still April 14, 2011..but since I will have a scheduled C-section I could schedule it for as early as April 7th! We are still in shock but thanking God every day for this miracle!

Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday...O MY~

Friday - I had already had my annual Pelvic and Pap Smear scheduled two months ago. It was expired and I went ahead and made it not knowing that I would be become pregnant. So, Friday morning, I had my annual stuff done. Thought he might do a quick sonogram but he didnt. Scheduled one for Sept. 1st.

Friday night - Inserted my progesterone supplement and there it was...bright red blood. This could not be happening. I immediately called my friend who is an OBGYN Nurse in Labor and Delivery. She lives down the street and came over. I also called my next door neighbor, "Big Sister" Michelle, who also works as a nurse. After my OBGYN friend examined my blood (Yes, we are that close! lol)...she was convinced that the Pelvic and Pap caused the bleeding. So, did the on call doctor. Fall asleep crying and hoping that I would not become pregnant and have a miscarriage the whole time my husband is in China.

Saturday morning - Woke up to lots of cramping and more blood. Decided to go to the ER. Had a neighbor watch Conner. A friend met me there. Saw the baby for the first time. Heart rate was perfect....122bpm. Cervix was closed. BETA was 55,000+. Of course, the stupid doctor that looked younger than me didnt know if it was caused from the Pap/Pelvic or if I was going to miscarry. But since everything looked good with my numbers and the baby... it was probably from the Pap/Pelvic.

Saturday afternoon- bleeding had stopped.

Saturday night - Pick husband up from the airport and just cry in his arms for about an hour when we get home.

Sunday - Threw up pretty much all day long.

Monday - Threw up all day. Called doctors office to ask for some meds for sickness. When the doctors office called back..they said..."We forgot to tell you on Friday that sometimes a Pap and Pelvic can cause bleeding for 24 to 72 hours after it has been done. Especially on early pregnant women. Did you have any?"

Due Date: April 14, 2011. 7 weeks pregnant.

Chillin

Some of you are wanting more updates...but I don't have any. Which is good, I think. I am currently visiting my parents in Texas until Thursday. Just relaxing and trying to take it easy. I have an OBGYN appointment on Friday. Then my first sonogram on the 27Th. Still on supplements twice a day. Other than that....just chillin!

So, that is all the news I have right now. Will update you after my OBGYN appointment on Friday!

Friday Levels

So, Beta almost tripled again. Progesterone did come up a little but I would have like to have seen it come up more. I am still nervous with the last Progesterone levels. They are still wanting them to be around 20. I do not have anymore blood work until I go for my sonogram on the 27th. Just praying and hoping that we make it to there!

Monday's Beta - 725
Wednesday's Beta - 1,914
Friday's Beta - 4,917

Monday's Progesterone - 6.1
Friday's Progesterone - 10.5

So Far, So Good!

They did not test my progesterone levels today. But will check them again on Friday. But my Beta more than doubled. Which is a good sign!!!!
Have my first sonogram scheduled for the 27th. Still crossing my fingers for Fridays progesterone levels!

Mondays Beta = 725
Wednesdays Beta =1,914

Overwhelmed!!

So, last week I finally realized that I was late on AF. I was in denial. I mean why would I be pregnant? We have spent $25,000 on Fertility Treatments and none of them worked...so why would I become pregnant naturally?

Well, I finally took a pregnancy test...and YES...I am pregnant! The good ole fashion way! I have to say that Acupuncture truly helped me become pregnant. So, many emotions are going through me right now.

I am very scared and overwhelmed. I went to get my blood work done today with the Fertility Clinic that I have been going through. My progesterone levels came back very low. They want them to be 20 or more. Mine were 6. Around 4 is a miscarriage.

They immediately put me on the progesterone supplements. I had to be on them with my first child but my levels were not this low. The Nurse Practitioner assured me not to worry yet. She said she has seen many women with levels this low that end up giving birth. But I am extremely scared.

To make this great news even more emotional....my husband is teaching in China for 21 days. I told him I was pregnant over the phone. I haven't even been able to hug him.

I go back on Wednesday for more blood to see if the levels have gone up. I am extremely nervous. Once I found out I was pregnant, I kept saying..."This is too good to be true, something is going to happen."

So, my statement was made real yesterday. One miracle has happened this month, I only hope that God has one more miracle left in him!

Expire?

I have two boxes of Progesterone Supplements in the Ice Box. How long until they are no good?

Big Brother?

Today, while my husband and son were at Toys R Us...out of the blue my three year old asked my husband "when was he going to be a Big Brother?" My husband didn't know what to say. But it really upset my husband. When my husband told me this, I asked him never to tell me these things. I do not need the extra guilt. It breaks my heart to hear my son say those things. It just makes my heart ache more. The guilt is already overwhelming and to hear him say those things out loud...is extremely heart breaking! So, I asked my husband never to tell me anything that my son says about siblings. I need him to be ignorant and not know what a Big Brother is!

Of course, when my husband told me this...I teared up. I am still so torn on what to do when it comes to infertility. Do I adopt? Do we proceed with another IVF? For my son's sake, I just want a clear answer. I need to know what to do!
