One of the perks of making sure I am first in line to get a blood draw is that I have been getting earlier call backs with results. I didn’t even have a chance to come here and write my SUPER ANGST OMG WHAT THE HELL IS THE NUMBER GOING TO BEEEEEEEEEE? post.
All weekend I kept telling myself: aim for 220, plaidbryo. 220 is ALL we needed to get back on the “normal” train. A tad lower would be a bit of a disaster. Above that number would make me burst with hope.
So. I’m bursting! My number today was a totally NORMAL 338. Still not a rock star number – but exactly where plaidbryo should be. And honestly? If it was a ginourmous number I would have freaked about another ectopic.
It feels so so so so good to be HAPPY about this again. To say it. Today I am pregnant.
I go back on Thursday for more bloodwork and by Tartan, I hope things are still looking good and normal.
It goes without saying that I never would have made it through this weekend without you guys cheering me on. You didn’t let me simmer in a place of fear or anxiety for too long. You pulled me through.
Let’s do it again on thursday!

(Note: when the baby actually arrives I will do less cursing directly at him/her. Not none, but less.)
I have no idea what any of this number stuff means, only that my HCG was pretty darn low. And I spotted like crazy with Ian for NINE WEEKS and took SIX TESTS and it finally showed up pregnant. So there’s that.
But,YEAAAAAH!!!!! I’m so excited for you!
I love your blog! Congratulations on this awesome number!!
My husband and I have infertility too and have been told that IVF will be our only chance to conceive. We’ve been trying for almost four years now and we have been sponsored by an amazing non-profit organization called Pound the Pavement for Parenthood (www.poundthepavementforparenthood.blogspot.com). It’s so good to see that there are organizations out there who are working to help couples overcome this life-altering disease. They are planning a 5k walk/run for my husband and I in South Bend, Indiana where we live. With the donations we receive and the money we raise we’ll be on track for IVF next summer! I love reading your posts to prepare myself for that journey.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!:D
Whew hew! Grow Plaidbryo, grow!

That’s a beautiful number!
