O.k. what a crazy morning. I finally went and had my cortisol (sp?) level drawn this morning along with the chromosomal (sp?) test. Dh is going to have his chromosomal (sp?) test done later this week. So things went really well with that. The lab tech was SUPER nice :)
I called PPVI yesterday for a cycle review and let me explain what happened when H.eather (the nurse) called back today.
Nurse: Amber, why did you call?
Me: To have a cycle review.
Nurse: Why, did you start your period?
Me: No, but I am going to.
Nurse: How do you know that?
Me: Because I have cramps so I just figured my period is going to start.
Nurse: Well, let me just say I don't want to get your hopes up but when I saw your name next to the progesterone results I was thinking you might be pregnant.
(at this point I thought who is she kidding messing with my hopes like this)
Me: Really?
Nurse: What peak day are you on?
Me: P+12
Nurse: O.k. I want you to call me on P+16 for an order for a blood pregnancy test.
Me: But you'll be closed on Sunday
Nurse: Oh, call and ask for me on Friday then, if you don't get your period by then, and ask for the order for the pregnancy test then immediately go refill your progesterone prescription and give yourself a shot after you get the test done. Again Amber I am not trying to get your hopes up about this but your progesterone levels have never been this high or even close to this. If you get your period before then call me and we'll do a cycle review.
(at this point I already have my hopes up)
Me: O.k. I will, ......yada yada yada.
The End
So that's basically how our conversation went...I am really trying not to think about this to much or I will drive myself NUTS!
Here are my test results for the last few times I had them drawn that the nurse is basing this on:
10/11/08 Estrodial - 11.5 (First cycle on HCG injections)
Progesterone - 27.7
11/08/08 Estrodial - 9.4 ( cycle I got pregnant with HCG injections)
Progesterone - 18.0
04/04/09 Estrodial - 18.4
Progesterone - 40.4 ( First cycle on HCG injections after taking a break)
OBVIOUSLY my hopes are up, although I am trying to talk myself out of this...Please God help me to trust You!
Even if this isn't our month then maybe it will make for a better cycle next month...
I SO would not be surprised!! St. Gianna is at work in our group, it's unreal!! :)
ReplyDeleteTCIE, you're so sweet. I feel like just holding still and not moving until Friday just so I don't "ruin" things...HAHA
ReplyDeleteYour comment about holding still is soooo how I would think. :) I'll keep checking for any updates. Praying for you. I am waiting for the PPVI to call on our SA results.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap what the heck is going on!? I mean have the babies been released from heaven?
ReplyDeleteI am freaking out for you! OH MY GOSH! I am getting those HCG shots ASAP!!!!! Totally ASAP!! They seem to do the trick! WOW!
My body reacted well to HcG when I first started. I really hope this is it for you!!
ReplyDelete(Hello, I'm new to your readership. Apparently I started reading at an exciting time! Also, you crashed my blogroll, but I forgive you.)
ReplyDeleteThat's CRAZY exciting - not hope because you've deceived yourself AGAIN about what it means that you got lightheaded and nauseous in the shower, or whatever (I have a very active imagination), but because somebody else, with medical training, thinks it's possible. On the other hand, for my own part, I would ignore the nurse, because I'd view that as a direct threat to my sanity. I'll be praying for peace of mind for you and your husband, and for Sunday to come soon!
Sending prayers your way, A! I wouldn't move if I were you either, haha!!! :)
ReplyDeleteMisfit,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean I crashed your blogroll? Does that mean I sent you a virus or something? I have know idea what this means. If it is something bad then I am sooooo SORRY! Now I am scared to comment on your blog...
~Amber :)
Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteHi! I got here through SEW. Apparently at very exciting time. I hope you don't mind me crashing! Those levels are fantastic! I wouldn't be suprised if you were pregnant. I'm praying Sunday comes quickly for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you girls for all your prayers...honestly I really think AF is coming any second. I even slept with my faorite heating pad last night because of cramps...damn cramps! Anyways, you are all so sweet to be so supportive. Thank you!
ReplyDelete~Amber
Why is my estradiol so much higher? What the heck does this mean. But your progesterone is double mine. But my estrogen is a lot more then yours? WTH!? I will only be P + 12 tomorrow. That's nothing fantastic but a lot for me but still. I am not setteled about this. :)
ReplyDeleteHey - this is a (second) post to thank you for yours. I think I'm in the same place as you regarding the crossing over - I think I would be extraordinarily concerned about hurting others with any pregnancy announcement, and I did think about the idea of starting a different blog (or relinquishing it if a new blogger didn't want to start her own? That seems unlikely) if I got pregnant. I can keep thinking about that for now. You may not be able to! :)
