Many of you (okay, all of you) know that I had my bloodwork done today to find out if this cycle of IVF worked. Let me give you a little background on how they figure it out...
They test the level of hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) in my blood. Anything below a 3 is considered negative. Anything 20 or above is considered definitely positive. That middle section is the "gray" area. It's technically considered positive, but it's not as high as they would like to see. In a positive result, the number should at least double every 1-2 days.
My level was at 7.1.
So, basically, they're not really sure. They are "cautiously positive" that I am pregnant. I go back on Friday to have my levels tested again. If they continue to go up, then I am. If they go down, then I'm not. I will stop all meds and that would trigger menstruation.
So that's where we're at right now! I'm continuing with all of my lovely suppositories and injections, and hoping even more for the best on Friday. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me with their thoughts, prayers and well wishes. It really means the world to me.
Happy reading!
