I went in for my blood test. It wasn't busy at all, I was in straight away. Fantastic!
11.00am
Had a few errands to do. Medicare and HBF rebates to claim. Puppies to fawn over in the pet shop. Groceries.
2.00pm
Got home. Chatted with the hubby. Played with the dogs.
2.30pm
What time is it? They usually call by now...hmmm, is that a bad sign? What does that mean? Difficult test results?
2.45pm
Still nothing! Do something. Finish putting the groceries away. Jump on the internet.
2.55pm
Well the fertility centre closes in an hour! They must have my results by now! I'm calling them. It keeps ringing for ages and I get butterflies in my stomach. Nervous all of a sudden. I get put through to someone from embryology. OK, that's weird. Maybe the nurse has gone home and they have to do the ring around? Nope!! She started telling me that 4 out of my 12 eggs fertilised. Sorry lady! Wrong person! Back to reception. My results still aren't ready yet. They will call me back.
3.15pm
Nothing. May as well watch a bit of Foxtel.
3.17pm
Waiting!!!
3.29pm
Phone rings. The nurse apologises for not taking my call earlier. She has good news. My Pregnancy Hormone is 290. That means I'm pregnant people! My progesterone level is 685. These are really good levels for the first blood test. I need to go in next weekend for my next blood test to monitor my levels. Once they reach 15,000 (or +32 days/6 weeks) they'll need to book me in for a scan. I'll feel more confident after that. I still need to keep going with the Crinone, so I need to go in tomorrow morning to pick up more meds.
I'm still in a state of disbelief. I had prepared myself for a negative result, so I was absolutely speechless when she told me. I'm on my way to a baby! I'm stunned. My husband had told me to buy some celebratory Cherry Ripes this morning. So we high fived and cracked them open this afternoon to celebrate.
Now, just stick around Little One, and I'll see you in November.
