Wohoo I am still pregnant! Every day I cherish being one step closer to the ultrasound were I will finally be able to see my baby! I hope he/she is doing alright in there!
I meant to update on my betas, but we have been really busy these past couple weeks. Everything looked great and my levels tripled to 49 at 12dpo (they were 15 at 10dpo). My nurse said she did not need me to come in for 3rd betas and went ahead and scheduled my 8 week ultrasound for Monday, October 5th....less than 2 weeks to go!
How many weeks are you? 6 weeks / 1 day
How are you feeling? I am feeling fine, actually. Not real symptoms have hit me yet. Anything that I have felt has come and gone within a couple days. I felt very bloated in my 4th & 5th week, but thankfully that has gone down. Over the weekend I was having lower back pain and nipple tenderness. I am so surprised that I still have so much energy, especially with a toddler running around!
What are you craving? Nothing
What is grossing you out? Nothing
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Nope! Honestly, I haven't had time to think about any of this yet.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Yes, we probably will.

I'm pregnant.....AGAIN!
Surprise! I am pregnant again! What a shock! I can't believe this is actually happening, but here goes.
We were not instructed to take a cycle off after our early loss so we decided not to take a break. Well very surprisingly, 4 weeks after our chemical pregnancy I got another positive pregnancy test!
I found out on Wednesday, September 2nd that I was indeed pregnant again. I was in complete shock since I had gotten a positive so early (I was 3w2d), but thankfully the tests have gotten darker which is a huge sigh of relief. I did go in for a beta blood draw at 10dpo (3w3d) and it came back at a 15 and progesterone was at a 18.3. The nurse was very pleased with those numbers and instructed me to go in for a second beta which I will get the results back in 2 days. The number needs to double in order for the pregnancy to be viable.
I am feeling very optimistic about this pregnancy! My due date will be May 16, 2016 :-)

Chemical Pregnancy....but happy news ahead!
I wasn't sure when I was going to do this update. I didn't want to type out the painful words; we had a very early miscarriage at 4 weeks pregnant.
Not even a day went by were we could fully enjoy this new pregnancy before I started to miscarry. It all happened so fast and far too emotional for a couple to handle, but we got through it.
The night that I got a positive digital test is when I first started spotting (I was 4 weeks exactly). The next day it continued so I rushed to the doctor's office for a beta blood draw. The results came back the next day were negative. My beta was at a 4 (anything under 5 is considered not pregnant), but at that point I was certain that was going to be the outcome.
I had a rough couple of days; I was feeling disappointed in myself and sad for my husband and for my daughter.
But as life goes, time moves on and the next chapter of our lives was about to begin....
