Here we are....test day! Today, was a nail biting day! I had blood drawn Monday and today for the Beta hcg tests and progesterone level. The Beta hcg test is a pregnancy test that measures the amount of HCG (hormone made by the embryo) is in your blood. Its not a negative or positive rather a number score. According to our wonderful doctors, a good level is over 100. That means that there is a pregnancy and they check it again 2 days later to make sure it doubles...which means its a healthy pregnancy. (This is all to my understanding...getting deep in medical mumbo-jumbo is somewhat confusing) Our level on Monday was 358 and today was 720. So that mean....guess what folks.....
We are pregnant!!!!!
We go back for the same bloodwork next Wednesday to ensure that the values are still increasing at an appropriate level. Then, our first ultrasound is February 27th!
I have been feeling great! I have been having a little bit of nausea, but really nothing to complain about. Chad reports that I may be more testy/emotional than normal. Haha! Oh well!
We are so thankful for all of your support and prayers. We could not have made this journey with out you! Much love!!
