Hello, my name is Jen and I'm a freak!
This morning I woke up at 5am and I did NOT need to pee. This is the first time since, well, a long time that I haven't had to. So I got nervous. So I peed on the only semi-PG type tester I have in the house--an FM stick. Well, one line was super dark and the other was barely visable (mind you with my last PG the only good +++ I got was with an FM stick so I know they work as hpts).
As you can imagine I freaked. I called the RE's office at 7am and asked for another beta. Dr. H talked to me and said absolutely come on in.
By 7:30 I was in the office and they drew my blood and then Dr. H asked me how far along I am (5 weeks). Apparently he doesn't trust my math skills because he asked my ER date and did the calculations himself. Yup, still 5 weeks. ;) He then said I could have an u/s if I wanted and ONLY if I promised not to wig if there wasn't anything to see (it wouldn't mean anything according to him). I, of course, told him I understand and I am beyond wigging.
He started my u/s and said it was too early; they couldn't see anything. But wait! A different turn of the wand revealed a lovely black blob with a yolk sac! That's right folks, we've got a healthy embryo! Dr. H and the nurse were so excited, but of course old doom-and-gloom Jen was still obsessing about her stupid FM sticks (ok, I admit I did TWO).
I missed the call this afternoon (damn meetings), but the nurse left me a wonderful message. My beta was 3211 (yes, folks, it more than doubled again in 2 days) and my P4 was 71.9. I think I've got a good 'un this time!!!!
I promised Chris that I will throw away all remaining FM sticks. ;)
Very sad news
Chris' mom called to let Chris know that his uncle died last night of a heart attack. We're extremely sad--he was a wonderful person. She didn't call us (Chris was away anyway) because she didn't want to upset me. I thought that was sweet of her, but still I feel bad that we weren't there to help her.
