3rd and last beta and some more waiting to do...

You would think that I am used to it by now. The waiting game. First you wait to start IVF (in my case I had to wait 3 weeks for a cyst to go away), then you wait for follicles to grow, then you wait until they are mature enough, wait to find out your E2 levels, then you wait for the trigger, then for the retrieval, then you wait for eggs to fertilize, then wait to see if there are any to freeze, then you wait for 2 weeks for first beta, wait for second, wait for third, wait for ultra sound!! arghh!!! and that's without counting all the waiting we had to do since we started TTC (over 2 years)

I went for my 3rd and last beta today. The numbers came back great: 2,931. So now we have to wait (yes, wait some more) until September 4th for my first ultrasound.... it seems like an eternity!!! :-( other ladies have had theirs so much sooner than that. I would be about 8 weeks pregnant. I would just want to get reassured that everything is going fine in there.
I guess all I can do is take care of myself and keep praying.

Off I go now, to try to focus at work... I won't promise I won't drive myself crazy reading lots of literature about diet, baby growing, things that could go wrong.. etc. But really, can you blame me? I have to seriously find a way to distract myself... hmmm.... sigh
