It's that time again.. time to try again. i went to the doctor last week for another blood test to make sure my levels were normal. They said that they were negative (I didn't know they could be negative). They also said it is safe to continue trying.
I dunno if it is going to happen this month, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. I was looking on a due date calculator just to see when the baby would be due if I got pregnant this month and it would be 11/11/11. That's kinda cool. We'll see in a couple of weeks.

Sad Times
Well, it definately was a chemical pregnancy and I am no longer pregnant. I was supposed to go to the doctor this Friday so they could make sure my levels are getting into the negatives but I wont be able to go.
I will be in california for a funeral. Jason's cousin JP passed away. ALthough I only knew him for a few years but he was very important to me and I miss him so much already. I love him dearly and this was a tragedy. It is still not real to me. I am greatful to have had him in my life for the short time. He will definitely be someone I tell my kids all about.

Bad News
So I went to the doctor again on Wednesday to do a second round of blood work. They called me on Thursday and told me that my hCG levels had only gone from 27 to 38 when they were supposed to double and be at 54. They told me that it was a chemical pregnancy and they were somewhat surprised I hadn't started spotting already. I was crushed.
They had me go in today to take a third round of blood work just to make sure which direction they were going in. They told me they would have double 38 and be 76 for my levels to be normal. I did a home pregnancy test this morning and the line is getting lighter so I am pretty sure that my levels are dropping. I will know on Monday when the offices are open again. I am also starting to spot, so I am pretty sure its over.
The good news is they said I should ovulate 14 days later. like this is a normal AF. They also said that the likelihood that this will happen 2 times in a row is slim.
Jason has been really sweet. Yesterday he made dinner and a cake for me and we went to be early to watch some 30 Rock. Tonight he told me that he would do what ever he needs to, to help get pregnant this time.
This was so devastating to me I don't really feel like charting my temperature levels and all that stuff this go round. Hopefully it will still happen.

A Call From the Doctor's Office
The blood results are in, and my blood was positive for hCG, so I am definitely pregnant. It feels so good to have it confirmed by more than just the tests that I have taken at home. They want me to come back tomorrow to take more blood so they can make sure that the hormone levels are going up at the right rate. I think I will feel much better after I get the results back from that blood test. I am still feeling nervous. I just need something to ease my mind.
Today I went for a walk. I walked for about 40 minutes. It was cold, but it felt nice to get some exercise. I have a little bit of a headache. I hope it doesn't get any worse because I know I can't take anything. I haven't been feeling any cramping like I had the few days before. I still feel bloated, but not as bad as I have been the past couple of days. It is always worse at night though.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the blood test results tomorrow are good. If they are, I think we should tell the rest of our family, at least my grandparents and such.
