Playing the numbers game

I went this morning to have the monthly progesterone draw. I ended up taking E with me and the lab ladies just loved him. You know, he is just such a great kid. And although that makes me so happy, it makes me sad at the same time. I keep thinking about how nice it would be to have TWO really great kids. Sigh. I just have to keep hoping and praying that it will happen again someday. Really. It will. Right?

Anyways, I’m waiting to hear back on what the progesterone results are for this cycle. Now, I know that the numbers don’t really mean anything, but it’s hard not to stop myself from hoping once the lab calls. Last month they were higher than usual, and that obviously didn’t really mean anything for me. They could be even higher this month, given the fact that I had two follicles growing and three on ‘back-up’. Those silly little follicles are what make the progesterone so logic would say that the numbers will be high. But my heart will start to think “Oooh, maybe the number is high because I’m pregnant! Yes, that’s got to be it!” It’s amazing that my heart and head don’t communicate properly anymore.

Wouldn't you know it, I just heard back from the nurse at the RE's office. My progesterone is at 38.3. Once again, much higher than last month. Oh, this numbers game is killing me.

I'm glad your progesterone numbers look good! And remember that it's OKAY to think positively -- 'cause, yep, it's quite possible that you ARE prego this month! I'm rooting for you! How many more days until you can test?
