Final Beta Results! 4weeks 1 day


I can hardly type this because I'm so excited! I can tell you one thing, while I do pray on the regular outside of being pregnant...I've found myself praying extra hard these past few days. Really hard. Mainly because long before we actually started trying, well... back when my wife was going thru this process with Baby C, TTC showed me just how NOT in control of life we actually are. No matter how much we plan, time insems or anything else. I have to just trust and lean on God that everything will all work out and I will have a happy & healthy 9 months. I have to trust that because if not this process will literally drive me crazy mentally, emotionally and physically.
 
Here are the Results:
 
1st Beta (October 21st, 2013)
 
HCG - 50.7
Progesterone  - 13.5
 
*Due to low progesterone I was instructed to increase from one suppository to 2 at bedtime.*
 
2nd Beta (October 23rd, 2013)
 
HCG - 158
Progesterone  - 18
 
3rd *And Final Beta* (October 25th, 2013)
 
HCG - 418!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Progesterone - Nurse just said "almost 20" So I'm assuming 19 something
 
We are scheduled for our first ultrasound on next Wednesday! I have been experiencing waves of nausea since 3weeks preggers. It is progressively getting worse. Especially on my ride to work in the morning. It's not horrible just yet but I will be dusting off the seabands and keeping some crackers nearby just in case. The only symptom so far is extreme fatigue. I could literally sleep the day away while watching the Halloween Movie marathons that are on these days. Other than that I'm feeling well and just trying to eat healthy and REST. Grow Sprout GROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thank. You. Lord.
 
....And thank all of you for the messages and well wishes. I'm still struggling a little with BFP guilt but I continue to pray for all of you out there still waiting for that magical moment.
