Numbers Update

I ended up taking pregnancy tests on Sunday and Monday too.  They were both positive as well!  It's an amazing feeling getting a positive instead of a negative.  Feels unreal after so many negatives.  It wasn't actually the real deal until Tuesday the 28th though!  I had to have a number over 100 (or so I thought). 

Tuesday June 28, 2016 

On Tuesday afternoon, I got the call from Amelia.  I could tell from her voice that it was going to be good news, but I was little nervous when she said now you don't need to be at 100, you can even be at 50 and that's still good.  So I was thinking I would be somewhere between 50-100.  But I was at 470 HCG!  There's a possibility with such a high number that our twins survived, but it could also mean they both were secreting HCG at first, but now just one is in there.  We hope both survived, but are just so excited to be pregnant after such a long and draining adventure.

I was nervous to get today's number's, but I had a feeling they were growing big and strong still since they're making me so tired and nauseous.  It was great news finding out my number today was over 1,000!  My estrogen was really high and over 1,000 as well so I get to stop patches tomorrow (Friday July 1st).  It will be nice to not have sticky skin anymore.  My progesterone number was also high at 50, and it only needs to be over 20.  That means the babies are making their own, but I'll keep supplementing with the suppositories. 

I started working out again yesterday which I believe is helping with my nausea!  My doctor said I could have started working out several days ago, but I wanted to be sure I was pregnant first!

This was our first "congratulations gift" and we received it from Chelsea and Tom.  It was such a nice surprise to come home to a body pillow (that I've been eyeing for a while), sparkling cider, and preggy pops (anti-nausea candies).  The candies are pretty good too!
