5w1d - am I a crazy person? ;-)

Hi All,

First of all, never posted my 2nd beta results. 

13dpo=231 hCG, 42 progesterone
18dpo=2069 DT=38.01


So numbers are looking good.  Now a waiting game until January 7 at 3pm.  Should I add a count-down ticker?  Or will I just obsess???

Hummm, too late...I am already obsessing!  My name is Yolande and I am a POAS addict!

Okay - just giving you your laugh for today!

4w4d - getting 2nd beta today

Hi all,

Got results from beta and progesterone from last Thursday.  I was 3w6d, or 13 DPO:

Progesterone:  42 (sorry to those I told it was 40 - just forgot the number!)
Beta:  231

These are the highest numbers I've had in a pregnancy.  Hoping that means the little bean will stick, and that it's nothing bad having high numbers....of course my mind goes to the worst places...molar...or the most overwhelming places...twins - even though on one recent post I said I'd welcome that!

In any case, I will go in for a 2nd beta quant today, to see how much the hcg has changed.  I so want Sean to have a little brother or sister!!!

Boy, this first trimester stuff is soooo hard!  But, it's not in my hands, so all I can do is enjoy watching my baby boy walk all around as I post!  Oh, I'm hoping to get in for his 12-month check up today since I'll be in Santa Monica for my beta.  I'll call them later this am.

Oh, POAS again, and it was much darker!  Grow little bean, GROW!  Dawn - that goes for you too!!!

xoxo Yo!

4w2d - more POAS

Hi all,

Okay, here are the series of POAS from the past several days.  I'm not sure the lighting shows a lot darker today, but in person, I can tell today's test is much darker.  I'll have to take a pic of the strip of tests I've taken and post those at some time.  For now, here you go:

12/8/09


12/10/09


12/13/09


Well, I know they are different sizes, but oh well.  I'm praying every day that this bean sticks and grows into a healthy baby with a heart beat!

Shout out to DAWN - yay for being pregnant buddies due on the SAME date!!!

Love to all,

xoxo Yo!

3w6d - the waiting game

Hi all,

Boy, wish this was all in my hands.  But, alas, it is not.  I am hopeful, but realistic.  Any sacrifice is worth the reward of having a child. 

Here is today's POAS.  MUCH darker!  I went in for a beta quant and progesterone test, and will, hopefully, find results out tomorrow. 

A few shout outs - to DAWN!!!  Girlfirend, I so hope we can be pregnant together.  Wouldn't that be a blessing and a miracle?  I am praying big-time for you!

To Monty - so excited for you!!!!!  Can't wait to see wonderful pics of you and baby Kell.  What a blessing.  Hang in there.

Love to all the others out there! 

xoxo Yo

bfp...cautious, but optimistic

Well, got a BFP this at 3w4d (11 DPO).  I can't believe it.  Cautiously optimistic!  Here are the pics:

I know you can barely see the IC in the left pic, but I took a chance and used a digi.  Couldn't believe it says Yes+ - and within about 3 minutes! 

PRAYING for a sticky bean...would LOVE to give Sean a little brother or sister...or both???!!!

xoxo Yo!

Enjoying the Holidays

Just a quick stop by to say I LOVE this time of year.  Not only is there some time off, but you get to celebrate with family.  We just put up our tree, and will need to finish decorating tomorrow.  I'll post pics once it's up.

Tried clomid this month, so am in the TWW.  My hopes are up too high.  I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for a temp drop tomorrow.  I refrained from testing, so that's good.

Here's the pic of Sean and Santa!

 

He loved looking at Santa's REAL beard! I wasn't scared, but interested!

Oh, and here's our family photo that we put on our holiday card...and a few others of Sean being cute at BFF Hunter's birthday party at the park:

 

Okay, that's it for now...stay tuned...I hope!  xoxo Yo
