Good News and Bad News

The good news is I just got the call from my nurse and it looks like my Beta is a 45, which she says is a good number, although I remember my initial beta when I was pregnant with T was 314 -- that was at 15DPO and this test is at 14DPO.

The bad news is I started spotting again yesterday and today it is a bit heavier. It is brown spotting.

I'm waiting for a call back from my doctor so I can confess that I never took the progesterone she prescribed and so I call tell her about the spotting. I'm sure she will think I am a complete nut job if she doesn't think that already. My clinic normally will test progesterone and estrogen on Beta day but, for some reason, they did not test mine today.

I had been using 1-2 HPTs per day and had only been getting faint positives, but this morning the line was somewhat darker, although still pretty light. I just used one of those digital tests and it came back PREGNANT -- cool.

At the moment, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic. If the spotting were to stop I would feel at bit better about the whole thing. For now, at least, it looks like I'm pregnant.

UPDATE: Just got a call back from the doctor. They did actually test my Estrogen and Progesterone. P4 was 11 and E2 was 172. She did not seem fazed because I did not take the supplements and she said that I should not start now because they only supplement if levels are below 10. As for the spotting, she said spotting is common in IVF and medicated IUI cycles even if the pregnancy is viable -- that I just need to wait and see what happens.

I still can't believe it. I'm in shock. I'm actually pregnant.
