Beta #3

Today was my third and final beta test.  I got there at 10:30, they drew my blood, and then I left!  Usually they call between 12-2.. but of course today at 3:30 I still had not received a call! I was going nuts.  You can't just tell a person who has been trying to get pregnant for 3 years that they are pregnant and then leave them hanging in the balance waiting to see if the pregnancy is progressing properly or not! So I was driving myself crazy letting my mind run wild until I finally called them to let them know I was still waiting!
So finally my nurse called me at 3:45.  She said my beta was so high they actually had to dilute it a little bit (?!) but the number was 2,964.  She said everything is looking great and to schedule my ultrasound for July 30th.  Then she told me that because we were scheduling it a little early that we may not be able to see the heartbeat yet and my doctor may have me come in the following week anyway (which is the first week of school, defeating the whole purpose of going in early) but we would at least be able to see how many embryos implanted and if the sacs were growing appropriately.  Then we will schedule another ultrasound 2 weeks after this one. SO then I call to schedule my ultrasound and Dr. Hill is not in the office that entire week?!! So I explained the date situation once again to another person and she talked my nurse into letting me keep the July 30th date and just let me consult with a different IVF doctor.  sheesh! Today has been quite a headache, but the good news is our betas look fabulous and we have our ultrasound July 30th at 12:45 to see our sweet baby/babies for the first time!
I forgot to post this last entry, but after my second beta the phlebotomist handed me this nifty little brochure with all of the do's and dont's of being pregnant.  Is it weird that it felt exactly like getting a diploma?! So exciting!!
