Well I went back to the doctor for a follow-up blood test to see if my HCG has doubled since the last time I had blood drawn (which was September 30th). They kept me waiting on pins and needles all day and didn't call with my results until almost 5:00pm, which felt like cruel and unusual punishment. But I did just get my call, and the HCG/beta number more than quadrupled over the weekend, which my doctor said is fantastic. So, in a word: yay! So far, so good!
Now I just need to work on finding a balance between ridiculously excited and scared out of my wits! I'm hoping to remain cautiously optimistic, but it's really hard not to overanalyze every little twinge of pain or pressure in my pelvis and wonder what's going on in there. And I admit to saying a silent prayer every time I go to the bathroom for fear of seeing blood. After enduring such a long and emotionally draining process of trying to conceive, I am naturally a little tentative, but I am also very, very hopeful! This may truly be our future child!!
