2 lines in '09......

I decided to test for the heck of it on the 1st day of the year. There was a very very faint line. This morning when I tested again it was still very faint, it should have darkened a lot but it didn't.

Luckily today I had an appointment at 7 AM to get blood work done and test my prolactin levels at the RE's office. When I was there I requested my betas to be tested as well just in case I was seeing things. One of the Doctors called me a few minutes ago to share this morning's results with me.


Yes, I am pregnant. BUT my progesterone levels are too low for where they should be.


It can get in the way of this being a successful pregnancy. I'm going to start progesterone supplements and hopefully it does the trick. This fertility center is really great, they called me very fast with the results and they are having the supplements delivered to my house today by a pharmacy. I'm impressed.


Jeff and I are in a weird state. I say weird because I can't come up with a better word. We are finally pregnant after my prolactin levels went down, they are normal by the way. But now we may be facing another miscarriage. I have strong period cramps and I'm not liking it. The Dr. said that the supplements will make them stop. I have to get more blood work done in 2 days to see if it's helping. I really want to be excited but I can't.

This is the kind of thing that pisses me off, seriously.
