So far so good!

My HCG (pregnancy hormone) level was 399 on Monday and 1279 today(Thursday). That is exactly what we needed to see! I'm going to do another one on Monday just to check that it is still increasing. I'm getting a little more excited though! Also, I have to say I love my midwife's office/staff. They are treating me so well and moving my appointments up earlier than normal just so I can make sure everything is okay. So, I will have an ultrasound on March 18th or sooner if they have an opening. I hope this is the one!

OOPS!

I may have been a little to quick to write my last post saying this month was another failure. We ARE pregnant!!! I'm very, very nervous but really hoping everything turns out well. It has been almost 2 years since our last pregnancy and I would really like this one to stick so we don't have to wait another 2 years. I really wasn't expecting to get pregnant this month and didn't even rush to take a test yesterday(Sunday) when I should have started a new cycle. I also left the store today without purchasing any pregancy tests, but realized when I got out to the car that I forgot deodarant for Will and then decided to make the test purchase since the deodarant and the test were in close proximaty to one another and I happened to have a coupon for the tests so I figured what the heck, I'll just buy them.

As soon as I read "pregnant" on the display I showed Will and then called my midwife to request labwork. Jace and I hustled over to the lab to have my progesterone level and HCG level tested. I won't know a whole lot until Thursday when I can do another HCG check and compare to the first number and hope for a substantial increase to show a viable pregnancy.

Of course I'm over analyzing every change I feel and making bad associations with our past miscarriages. I really hope Thursday will tell us some great news so I can relax a tiny bit. I'm not out of the woods until the first trimester is over which won't be until mid April. Nothing is official, but we are definitely hoping this is our chance to welcome another child into our hearts.

Probably not this month.

We really did try and I think we timed everything pretty well, but (there is always a but) I was WAY TOO stressed and as a result I'm sure my body wasn't functioning properly. I should know for sure by Sunday or Monday, but I have a feeling our attempts didn't work once again.
I did have an appointment with my midwife this week and I was hoping to view my labwork from the Gyft Clinic, but (see there it is again) the Gyft Clinic never faxed the requested records so I know nothing about my labwork. I tried though!
