Grow Baby Grow

After last week and the scare of a tubal pregnancy we thought we were in the clear when we saw Baby P on the ultrasound.  We were wrong.  We have since has the worry that my Progesterone levels were continuing to drop and we may be facing the start of a miscarriage.  After my blood work on Tuesday my Progesterone levels were are 17 and I was instructed to switch from the suppositories to the intramuscular injections.

It's been three stressful days.  I went for more blood work today and my Progesterone is back up to 40 and my HCG has doubled again to over 18000.  What a relief for everyone!  The clinic is confident that we are out of the woods and can now concentrate on cooking a healthy baby.

I will remain on the intramuscular injections until the end of the first trimester.  I will have a sore backside but it will be well worth it.  I'm very lucky to have an amazing husband that administers the daily injection even though it really hates doing it to me. 

This is what it looks like when I get ready for an injection.  Two types of needles; one to pull the meds and the other to inject.

I would like to send a huge thank you out to all the well wishers, prayer warriors and friends who have been sending us their thoughts, prayers and love this week.  It's amazing to feel the support from everyone who is sharing this journey with us.  Thank you.
