397

We recently paid some dudes at the University of Florida like 20g to make some embryos.  Then, we allowed one guy to put two of them into my uterus.  We did this with the expressed intention of becoming pregnant.  We did this on purpose.  I went to a bunch of acupuncture sessions and ate a bunch of supplements to actually increase the chances of becoming pregnant.  We are today, for some reason, totally stunned and amazed to find ourselves totally knocked up.  

The beta is 397 today.  The excitement of my family and all of our IF supporters is making my heart explode.  It's awesome.  We're still planning to remain very cautious with our joy because I just don't want to jinx this.  Saturday is our next beta.  Ultrasound on 10/29.  I hope this little star sticks around.  Little stars?

  1. K, so I had to look up "beta levels in early pregnancy," but 397 seems like a great number, right? I can understand not wanting to jinx anything, but continued love and excitement flowing your way from us!
