See Other---

So many of you have been wondering why no new posts. Well, as previously stated I am giving up my IVF blog and just sticking with my "normal" blog. I regularly update it and how I am doing, so feel free to check it out if you want an update--- http://sarapeterson923.blogspot.com

Good Luck to all those still going strong on this crazy journey of infertility.

The Wait Is Over-

So I have been hiding this little secret for a few days because we just wanted some time to ourselves. We are CAUTIOUSLY HOPEFUL! I know the first one was taken upside down, it was the only way I could get a good pic of it without a glare or shadow.....enjoy! (oh, and the tests are from Monday so they are going to be really light....and that is OK)





Beta's13DPO-(2/19)-76
15DPO-(2/21)-177
Doubling Time-39.35 hours

For those who don't have a clue what those #'s mean it is the amount of Hcg in my system. The main thing they look for is the doubling time. They like to see the #'s every 48 hours, the nurse was SUPER nice when she told me the news. I go in again in 10 days to have one last beta (blood test) and I am scheduled for my 1st ultrasound at 7wks on March 13th, and another one at 9 wks on March 26th then I will be released to my OB (if I can find a good one....). YAY!!!!

And The Results Are In...

And I am going to make you all wait 1 more day so I can let some people know first hand about the results before I post it for the world. Sorry, once again.....I have kept you coming back!

Coming To A Close

So all you wonderful supporters have been around a while and have been with me as I have been making my journey through IF. Well, I am just letting everyone know I am done. One way or another I am DONE. I have been very open and honest about all of my thoughts, feelings, and opinions and I am ready for some privacy. I am ready to close the doors and keep my emotions at home. I will let everyone know the results tomorrow and then I am signing out. Thank you all for your support through this very trying process, I couldn't have made it this far with out you.

*Clarification*

So I feel like I should clarify about my previous *venting* post. 1st of all please remember all the "irrational" horomones I have pumping through my system. My blog is a place that I can sit here and type out my frustrations. The only problem with that is I have a hard time expressing emotions and the whole picture. I tend to get a little side tracked too. Sooooo, after rereading my post after I have calmed down a little and thought about the REAL reason behind my frustration I have came to the conclusion of WHY I am so frustrated with this situation.

I am not so upset by the fact that people have kids. I am not upset when resposible people have kids. I think ANYONE who has the desire and the means SHOULD have kids (if they want). I DON'T however think that people who can NOT support their family as it is should have more. I feel like there is a time and place for everything. I understand that if you wait until you have the money to have kids you never would, but I think you should be able to at least have a job and be able to put food on the table. If you can't do this, it probably isn't the best time to be adding to your family! After reviewing and looking deep down it is very selfish of me to ask anyone who wants kids not to just because of me, so I am sorry if the *vent* came off that way.....I didn't intend for it to be that way. I guess I am just frustrated with the fact that so many people work so hard to get ahead and better themselves, while others just coast through life wanting nothing more for themselves or their family.
