Yes it would seem so. That's what my Dr. tells me anyway. Still having a hard time believing I AM PREGNANT. This morning when I went to the toilet there was some brownish/redish CM which freaked me out. We rushed to the clinic early in the morning and had my blood drawn. The lab guy saw my positive urine tests and was like "you are pregnant." But I really wanted it confirmed by a blood test. Then I rushed to the office and carried on as if everything was normal. I took it a bit easier today but still had loads to do which distracted me from the waiting.
The call came this afternoon. Mr. T took it. Then called me at work. Hey pregnant lady, he said. Really? Really? Yes babe you're pregnant. What are my numbers? Umm, I don't really understand all that stuff, I'll pick up the results and bring them to you. I put the phone down. I AM PREGNANT. It actually happened. It's true now. There's no denying it. I AM PREGNANT. I can't believe it. Two years, one varicocele embolization & three IUIs later. I AM PREGNANT.
I ripped open the results letter from the lab. My beta is 167.3 - I AM PREGNANT. Holy cow! It's a high result too! I AM PREGNANT. I need to keep saying this to myself. When I will actually start believing this I don't know. But until it sinks in, I will just keep repeating it. I AM PREGNANT. 4 weeks pregnant.
What woman has boobs like this? They're virtually pointing upwards.
We went to see Dr.B. He was very happy and smiling. He said he wanted to scan me just to check my endometrium and ovaries. I was a bit nervous as I read that there has been no actual research done to show that ultrasound scanning has no affect on the embryo and there are some worrying questions surrounding this. But Dr. B assured me all was safe and that since it has been so difficult for us to get pregnant he wanted to make sure that this pregnancy is very secure. So I went in for the scan. Immediately we saw that I had a corpus luteum cyst. Dr. B said it was nothing to worry about, but sometimes it can mean that I might not produce enough progesterone to maintain the pregnancy so he has prescribed progesterone pessaries for the next 15 days. He said this would also help me relax at night and hopefully get some sleep! Then we saw the gestational sac. OMG. I AM PREGNANT. It was just a little black dot on the screen. Mr. T was like "How does he distinguish this little back dot from all the other little black dots on the screen?" But it was there. A gestational sac. The beginnings of our baby. Our baby. That sounds so strange to say. For a long time I had believed it was never going to happen. And now. Now. I AM PREGNANT.
Before I try and get some very much needed sleep (I had about 4 hours last night) I just wanted to say thank you for all your lovely comments and your words of comfort and reassurance. I know I went into panic mode last night - but I will get it all into perspective (once I start believing that I am actually pregnant) and figure out the work thing too. Someway, somehow, it will all work out. It has to. Because. I AM PREGNANT.
