Today is 17dp4dt - or 21dpo - or 5 weeks pregnant.
Obviously my numbers don't match up to ANY of those figures, but here we are. Limbo!
I've managed to wrangle my blood test forward a day, so it's tomorrow now instead of Tuesday. We'll hopefully know with a little more clarity, and it's no good dragging things out any longer than we need to.
I feel pregnant. Queasy, off foods, hot flashes, headaches, exhausted. I'm still on all the meds - oestrogen & progesterone - so yes, it's very likely that it's more to do with them than it is my super low hcg hormones.
I'm still peeing on sticks, because it feels like the one thing I can control at this point... and they are tearing my heart out, because they're telling a story that is likely going to be shattered by tomorrow's blood test results.
These results were from Friday and Saturday, and they appear to be darkening. What a tease, right?
I just keep thinking that if I was anyone else, if I didn't know anything about IVF or blood tests or progesterone levels or doubling betas, I'd be SO excited to see a line like that.. I wish I was blissfully ignorant and able to just accept that 'today I am pregnant'. I'm trying to - but it's sort of ruined by 'today I am pregnant, but tomorrow's blood results will say that it's ending/ended'. Even my nurse at the fertility clinic called this a 'grey area' -- and it's just the worst.
Ah, well. Not much else I can do but wait and continue praying for a miracle, even if the odds are slim.
I'm so glad you've moved your blood test up a day earlier, those lines definitely look darker, and there is only one way to find out conclusively. I totally understand your hesitation, but seriously I am excited for you.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way about control and testing. By the looks of it you have a super strong positive. Congratulations you are pregnant. Enjoy this moment :)
