I Have a Tiny Little Secret
After a lot of thought I decided to try for #2. I had another IUI with a different donor on October 30th and it worked! I'm now 19dpiui and my beta was 976, just above the median for 19dpo. I'm relieved that the number is good but I'm also feeling a bit nervous because this is very much real.

My beta results
541.94!!! And my progesterone is 55.33!!! I'm most definitely very pregnant. ;-)
I didn't get the call until after 2 and by about 1:20 I was starting to get nervous. So nervous, in fact, that my stomach was not happy ... and that never happens to me. I took another test last night just for fun and the test line is darker than the control line so I figured the news today would have to be good. They called home first but that wasn't the number I left with them! I left the office number. *sigh*
I think I got a new nurse because I've never talked to her before and she wasn't able to find my progesterone Rx information in the file when I asked her if I should discontinue it. Nurse H, who did my last 2 IUIs, was in the background and I could hear her telling Nurse M all about my progesterone Rx.
With those numbers I don't have to go in for a 2nd beta. I will get a call in a couple weeks for an ultrasound. And I'll need to make an appointment to follow up with my nurse practitioner to monitor my thyroid levels. I also get to stop the progesterone. I'm leery to do so but I have 21 suppositories left so I'm going to taper off by switching to one a day at night from this point. I'm excited to be able to get away from the goop and the liners.
I'm happy and excited but still being cautious. Maybe too cautious? I don't know. I feel like I'm less excited than I should be at this point. Should I be 'swinging from the rafters' at this point? I feel like I should but I can't get quite that excited because of what happened last time. I think that is probably completely normal so I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I'll just enjoy this phase as much as I can at this point.
