Intro (long)

Hey ladies! I know most of you know me from GP, but thought I'd introduce myself to the rest if you lovely ladies! DH and I were trying since July 2012 for baby #1 when we found out in October that we were "sub-fertile" and were going to have to proceed with IUI in November. Much to our surprise we got a surprise natural BFP on November 1st. I had truly given up on a natural conception at that point so I've been working through some feelings before really indulging in GP moms. My first beta was 232 with progesterone at 11.6 which is a bit low, so I've been working on that and trying to manage my expectations. I'm finally allowing myself to be excited and join you girls in all the fun! My first prenatal visit is Wednesday (with my Obgyn) with our first ultrasound on the day before thanksgiving (back with the re until he releases me for good). I know that was a novel so thanks for reading and I can't wait to get to know all you girls all over again! (Oh and I'll probably add a new ticker sometime in the next few days)

  • I'm going to request one on Wednesday at the obg's. I think my re's office is kinda "done" with me since I didn't need tx and didn't offer. Not like in a bad way, just moving me forward if you catch my drift. I totally took another Digi to see it say I ws moving along in weeks and it did so it made me feel a little better, but I want the second draw to really calm my fears.

  • Yay!! You intro'd so much better than I did. I was/am still in disbelief and just sort of threw myself at the board, LOL!

    Can't believe they did betas without a second one 48 hours later! Sheesh! Definitely ask for them if you want it done!

  • They basically said it wasn't low enough for supplements, but that I could do progesterone cream twice a day. They didn't seem like it was a problem to them, so I'm trying to trust that an res office knows what they're doing. (But I totally question authority) so I'll have another draw Wednesday. Hopefully I'll get the results very quickly.

  • Welcome!  I'm shocked that they didn't do a second draw.  I was only with my RE's office for one cycle and they still kept seeing me until I graduated at 9 weeks.  3 beta draws and I think I had 3 ultrasounds with them too.
