Testing day ~ Officially.

I have been very sick for the past two days, but I actually got sicker once I left the clinic waiting for the results. I know this is like comparing apples to hamburger, but this phone call was like waiting for a call to tell you if you were going to live or die.

The best phone call you can get on this wonderful ride of infertility and pregnancy loss is the call I got today. At 1:51 pm on January 2nd 2007 it is official ~ We are pregnant.

Our Hcg (pregnancy hormone level) was 214. We go back on Friday for another test.

And the craziness starts. If the levels go up the pregnancy is doing well, they can begin to gauge (purely estimate) the viability of the pregnancy. If the numbers drop. Well then that means that one or all of the embryos are not going to probably survive the pregnancy. Once the levels are up to or about 1200 they can probably see something on ultrasound. This will tell us if we are having one, two, three or four.

Depending on this result we will test on the following Monday. And the same rule of thumb sort of follows.

If you are wondering what you could do to help us through this period of uncertainty, fear and worry...Pray, pray real hard for these lil' ones. Pray they like where they are, pray that they are healthy, pray that we can make it through this together. Pray that in 36 weeks and 6 days we not only meet these delicate testaments to life, but they come home with us for a very, very long time.
