Yes that is right, we got a BFP!!! That's a Big Fat Positive for those not up on TTC (Trying to Conceive) lingo ;) We are very happy and excited to be due on June 23rd, 2009. It is hard to not be scared or nervous after our three previous losses though. We were lucky enough to conceive on our the first cycle we tried Femara. It is a drug that is most commonly used for breast cancer but also helps with ovulation. I felt so much better while taking it then when I used Clomid for four cycles earlier this year. It was great to not deal with hot flashes or the horrible depression I got from Clomid.
This past week I had my HCG and Progesterone levels checked. On Monday my HCG was 114 and my progesterone was 37.5. We were really happy with these numbers because they were much higher at this time in pregnancy then with our previous losses. On Wednesday I had my HCG checked again and it was 402!!!! That is also great because it means that not only did the levels double but they tripled in 48 hours time. Now we just have to wait until October 31st for our first ultrasound. The baby will be 6 weeks 2days gestation at that time and we are really hoping to see a heartbeat on the ultrasound. We have never had a chance to hear that before and I think it will be a moving experience.
I have been feeling okay. No morning sickness yet. I get a little bit of nausea in the morning after I brush my teeth. It goes away if I take a few sips of pop though. I have been exhausted lately, it seems like I can never get enough sleep. Oh and I cannot forget my appetite. I am constantly hungry, I just never seem to be satisfied. I think that Bryan is getting a tad frustrated with that because it makes agreeing on dinner options difficult. I do have a cold right now too, which kind of sucks because I can't take anything good for it. I am hoping that I can combat it with rest, taking my vitamins, and drinking some orange juice.
