I went to the RE's office today for my first Beta blood draw. I was very disappointed to find out I won't get the results until tomorrow afternoon. Maybe as early as 2pm. I have a meeting that starts at 1:30 and goes until 3pm.. Hopefully I can take the call. I asked my nurse if I should cancel our appointment we have with the RE on Wednesday afternoon that is for the IUI consult and to review DH's SA. She said to wait to cancel it until they are able to confirm the pregnacy. Well, I didn't say this, but I think I've confirmed the pregnancy withi my three hpts I've taken :) I took an frer this morning and it wasn't as dark as I'd like it to be but there is nothing I can do about it now... I am going to take another frer Wednesday morning to hopefully see some progression.
They also are running my blood for progesterone... I am expecting horribly low numbers but I guess it will be good to have a baseline.
So DH and I still haven't told anyone.. I know its only been 2 days since we've found out but last time we called our families the day we found out.. then dh proceeded to tell all of his clients. I was nervous he may spill the beans today but he didn't :)
I am not sure when we'll tell people. Part of me wants to tell my parent now, they would be so happy.. but the other part of me wants to keep it our secret. Things between me and my mom are just weird lately. I stopped telling her anything about our ttc journey because she couldn't handle the rollercoaster of emotions I was going through.. especially the devastation month after month. I am afraid she won't react the way I want her to react to this pregnany. I just wish our relationship was the same as it was before my mmc. I know they would be happy.. I just think its better to wait. Maybe we'll tell them after we hear the heartbeat.
The Fourth of July is going to be tough to hide the pregnancy! We are throwing a party at my parents house and people will wonder why I'm not drinking. Our friends and family that know we are ttc assume I am in the tww but the friends that don't know will be shocked I am not drinking. I am going to have to pretend to drink.. its the only way. Glad to be in this position though. I am sooo happy to be pregnant. I pray this baby holds on and becomes the baby I've been dreaming to hold my whole life.
Symptoms are still about the same. Super bloated but less constipated. I was hoping the bloat would leave with the constipation but no such luck! My boobs have gotten a little bigger.. I am going to have to hide them from dh!! He is like a heat seeking missle when it comes to my boobs when I'm pregnant. Energy level has been ok except in the evening.. its 5pm now and I could fall asleep!!
DH is getting a little more excited I think.. he realized last night that he'll have a designated driver for the next 9 month. He said year, but I was quick to correct him. He keeps referring to the baby as Jose Cuervo.. I have no idea why.. called it JCJ a couple times too. Funny man. Hear that baby? Your daddy is silly!! But I think he's most excited about not having to do a repeat SA.
Attachment: Frer from this morning.
