Although I relish the timing of this pregnancy and being able to find out in time for Christmas, getting a blood draw has proven more difficult than I could imagine. Had I been at home, the RE would have worked me in on Thursday. Being out of town, however, I had to rely on the local LabCorp. Which was closed on Christmas Eve. No problem, I'd get one Saturday. Only, they're closed. Again. Which means I won't get any numbers until Monday.
By then, I should easily be in the triple digits. I hope. I'm still wrapping my head around the idea that I'm actually knocked up, let alone that there might be a real live baby at the end of this. Numbers are something I can wrap my head around, something concrete to prove that I'm not just imagining this whole thing.
Monday just can't come soon enough.

The time seems to stand still when you are waiting for the beta, and additional days to wait just makes it harder I imagine.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, you will hopefully get great numbers to morrow :)
I understand how you feel. I think that time literally stops once you get that first positive beta post IVF. It's like your mind can't rationalize the fact that you are really pregnant and you need constant beta's and ultrasounds to reassure you that it's not all a dream :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, waiting SUCKS. I wanna know your numbers now!
