Well I cheated and took a pregnancy test this past Sunday and it was POSITIVE!! We were so excited (so excited I almost threw up) that we called all the people that were praying for us and told them the good news.
Today was the day we were to find out from the doctor so I called during my lunch break to find out the good news. I was expecting to hear, "Girl your HCG is so high you might be having twins!" Well the news that I actually heard was very far from that. I gave blood 11 days past transfer and my HCG was only 15.7. They expect it to be 80-100. My estrogen was fine but my progesterone was 29.1 and it has always been at least 60, they just want it to be at least 40.
So here are some scenarios:
1. I could be loosing the pregnancy because when your progesterone drops and your HCG is on the low side it could often mean that.
2. My embryos could have implanted later. Although it doesn't happen often it can happen, since they were frozen. So this would make my levels lowers if they haven't been implanted long.
3. I may just have low levels and have a perfectly healthy baby. My nurse and doctor were talking about someone that that happened to about a year ago.
My recheck appointment has been moved to tomorrow instead of Thursday. My principal sent me home from school today and told me not to come back until Thursday so that I could take care of myself. She cried with me too.
The doctor called me in some progesterone suppositories to try to raise my progesterone levels in attempt to keep the pregnancy and they will call me tomorrow with the details of my bloodwork.
The doctor hasn't given up yet and is determined to try to save my baby.
The thought has come across my mind, "God why would you allow me to become pregnant only to let me loose the baby?" My hope and prayer is that He is going to use this to impact the story of my baby's birth and that I will still come home with a baby in 9 months.
I pray in Jesus' name that God will work a miracle and spare my baby's life and bless us as parents.
