Beta is today!
I called my nurse case manager yesterday, whom I really like, and asked her about the process today. She said they would draw the blood this morning and run the specimens sometime before noon.
She said after that she would let me decide how to handle the communication process. I will be at work and i would just assume not fall apart at my desk.
I am sending her the following e-mail. This is the plan I figured out with my office mates. I figure for the morning staying busy at work is my best bet!
Susan,
Thanks for taking the time to call me back so late yesterday. I am very realistic but hopeful about the results today. Please know if I am less than gracious or short when you call it is just in a posture of self-preservation, I appreciate everything you have done for both Dawn and me!
Here are the directions.
1) Page me when you have the results at
2) I will go to lunch so I have an hour to adjust to whatever the news is.
3) I will then decide whether to return to work or declare a mental health day considering my state of being.
Thanks again for everything!
Theresa
PS- Dawn says hello! She wants to know if you miss her too!
Prayers and good thoughts no matter the outcome are always appreciated!

One day until beta
Nothing new to report. HPT is unchanged.
I can feel this weighing on me. I have been on the verge of tears since last night.
I am glad we will know one way or the other tomorrow.

Emotional
No very faint line, nothing except the single dark control line. We keep trying to focus on the positive, but I have to admit I am a little sad. Husband is great,, I am so lucky to have him, all I hear is, "I love you so much!" He is under a lot of stress at work and yet somehow he remains so supportive. I on the other hand and the emotional one. He is ready to throw the HPTs out the door and wait for the beta.
Two more days until the beta. Will stay positive but realistic. I find it helpful to think of all options. Part of me says now you can go to grad school. The other part of me says, give it one more try. This was our first donor egg cycle. What if we went to the best clinic in the country and had a previous donor who produced tons of egg that fertilized on her previous cycles? Would that make a difference or are we just wasting our money?
So many unanswered questions.
Thanks to my sister for being on the phone with me for many hours this weekend, I am so lucky to have you. You are always there when I need you the most!
