Hi Ladies,
It's been awhile since I've been on this board, well the TTC anyway, after months and months of constant disappointment and heartache I just couldn't be in the TTC whirlwind anymore. A few months later here I sit with my FIRST BFP EVER(!) after having unprotected sex with my husband for over 9 years, and actively TTC for over two years! The first day of my LMP was 8/25 and my period was due on 9/22. I've peed on so many sticks it's insane and really I am still in shock! Since I'm a worry wart by nature I immediately called my old Nurse Midwife to make an appt with her (haven't been the GYN in about 4 years....after the last one I told we were TTC told me lose 25 pounds. I'm 5'2 and at the time weighed about 145 pounds - a little overweight according to the charts but I wore a 6/8 - that offended me so much I never went back and also honestly was too afraid to hear them say we would have problems.)
The midwife won't even see me until 10 weeks (11/3) but I insisted I get some of test or bloodwork done. She sends me for the betaHCG and progesterone on Wednesday and I am supposed to go back today for another one so they can compare. I called today to get the results of the first test. She said "the results are not wonderful" and "I'm not saying there's no hope but we don't like to get people's hopes up" and "your progesterone was very low" "pretty much there's nothing you can do" and "we'll just have to wait to compare your results" -- the only positives she had to say were "There is a chance you could have a perfectly normal, healthy pregnancy" and "the levels could be low because you are very early." (<---- that makes the MOST sense to me but then WHY would she have to add in all those other negative things!)
So now I'm FREAKING OUT and I've just wanted to cry all day. The HCG was 125 and Progesterone was 10.3. I'm getting ready to go get the rest of the blood work when my husband gets home and then a VERY LONG weekend I know I will be in for. I've already told a bunch of my friends and family and we are just so so elated - everyone has literally burst into tears of joy when they've found out. I have an appt with another ob on 10/8 and I can't even call them to ask their opinions since it's a new DR. I'm scared! Any advice or reassuring words would be so greatly appreciated right about now.
THANK YOU!!!
